"Beautiful drawings,
beautiful women, I couldn't stop turning the pages."
- Jeff Smith Bone, RASL
"Barnaby Ward mixes the class and glamour of european
illustration, with the flair and originality of Japanese
manga to create wonderfully compelling and stunning pieces
of art!"
- Ashley Wood Popbot, Metal Gear Solid
"Barnaby Ward has the design sense and color palette that I
would kill for, and If I ever meet him in person I'll
probably do just that."
- Dave Johnson 100 Bullets, Batman
"The mind of Barnaby Ward must be very much like the
streets of the Barbary Coast: filled with lurking dangers
and surreal realities that tantalize your eye while
plucking your nerves like the strings of an old guitar.
It's as if, for a short time, you're allowed to see through
the eyes of Alice, the White Rabbit, and the Queen of
Hearts all at once, with Ward's twisted line work
heightening the excitement of your slide down the rabbit
hole."
- Scott Morse Spagetti Western, Soulwind
"That Barnaby fellow has the imaginative design chops of an
Art Ninja! I would hate him if I hadn't decided to love
him."
- Dan Hipp Amazing Joy Buzzards, Gyakushu
"I love the worlds Ward creates, you get the feeling you've
visited them before on some oneiric trip, they're in our
head deep down there, strangely he seems to have access to
them. Barnaby lets his layouts breath and stretch their
legs in beautiful full panel pages, the sense of scale in
these is powerful and inspiring. His short stories and
illustrations in the second part of the book are also
absolutely stunning, "Rooftops" is a total stand out.
Fantastic!"
- Enrico Casarosa Pixar
"The stark, surrealist atmosphere of Barnaby's art is quite
captivating. It manages a perfect balance between cinematic
world building and graphical minimalism."
- Dave Roman Agnes Quill
