Rafael Grampá
Posted by Bobby Solomon • September 7, 2009 • Art + Comic Books + Illustration



I’m a sucker for artists and illustrators who use a ton of detailed lines (see Destroy Rock City and Geoff Darrow) and Rafael Grampá is no exception. Starting out illustrating self help books, he know has a graphic novel called Mesmo Delivery under his belt as well as another new one called Furry Water coming out in 2010. These two were my favorites of his work. The top one is of Madman, he was asked to contribute this by Mike Allred for an issue. The other is his version of Daredevil, a boxer inspired costume which plays more into the roots of the character. Both are phenomenal.

  3. Met the guy at SDCC. Nice dude. His work looks like the lovechild of Darrow and Paul Pope.

  4. His book, Mesmo Delivery, reads as well as it looks (did that sentence make sense?)

    It’s a mix of Grindhouse, one part Twilight Zone. Great read and freaking GORGEOUS!

  5. Nice work, but the Daredevil looks too much like Paul Pope’s Batman.
