Ro Stein

Comic artist Ro Stein. I work with my partner Ted Brandt. Together we are BrandtandStein. We’ve worked for DC, Marvel, Image and others making primarily queer stuff. I do not know how to internet.

So i’ll be posting up on mine and Ted’s joint account here 

Currently working through a queue of stuff to get the blog up to date.

Well, fuck, guess I’m giving this place another go.

CROWDED - a new ongoing from Image about a world 10 minutes in the future. Everyone works for apps and the share economy, including Vita, a bodyguard working thru Dfend — a protection sharing app. 

Her client is Charlie Ellison, a normal lady whose campaign on Reapr — a crowdfunding site for assassinations — has already raised over a million dollars from thousands of backers who want her dead for some reason. Anyone with a weapon and a cameraphone can kill Charlie and collect the Reapr rewards. 

They’ll have to survive the next 30 days together without getting killed or killing each other.

Today at Image Expo, our new creator owned book was announced!

CROWDED is a near-future road-trip thriller about a young woman who woke up to a million dollar Kickstarter of death hanging over her head, and the last-chance bodyguard she hired to protect her.

Written by Chris Sebela, line art by @unassumingpumpkin and me, colours by Tríona Farrell, and letters by Cardinal Rae.

As always, Ted says it better than I could.

So I felt the need to colour the Adventure Zone fanart @tenbandits and I made. I think it turned out pretty well! And a process gif!

[brandtandstein]

@unassumingpumpkin and I felt obliged to make a cover mock-up for The Adventure Zone’s great first story arc. Such a marvellous show; hopefully we’ll do more!

[rostein404]

So we made a thing! Might make a process post later going from thumbnails through to ink...if I remember.

Pencils for the Holtzman @tenbandits and I did last July.

Hi, Are you the person who designed the super awesome urban Spider-Man costume? The one with the hoodie and goggles?

That would be me, yes!

So, we got to be part of the awesome Think of a City project! So much fun to do.

[rostein404]

'Twas an honour to be part of this project!

Reposting because @kyle-bell sent an ask about where they could see my Spider-man stuff, and it's a quite a trek through my tumblr to find it. Unfortunately, this is the only stuff I've done to do with the character - a shame really as the Spiders are some of my favourite characters.

I can only apologise.

My last print for Thought Bubble.

[rostein404]

My print for the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. I shall be selling them at Thought Bubble in Leeds in November.

I've been reading Wolverine & the X-men on Tenbandits' Marvel Unlimited. The bamflings are adorable!

I really enjoy drawing barbarian women covered in blood.

I'm trying to put together a new portfolio and this is the first piece I've come up with. Dedicated to the shrub that nearly engulfed the front of our house.

I heard somewhere that princesses and knights are meant to be coming back into fashion for kids' books.

I drew a scene from our first D&D session from a couple of months back. My halfling barbarian, Loc, helping to defend a village from a nighttime attack from a gang of kobolds.
