Oz goes USA!


Hello everybody! I´m really glad (excited!!) to announce the release today of the "Wizard of OZ" book on USA, published by Image:



This is a design of a character from the second original novel of Baum´s Oz, that I did for a kid´s book, a kind of roleplaying game book.

Happy holidays, my friends!

Hey Enrique,
I just picked up a copy, and it is stunning. What a beautiful piece. Everyone should have this book in their library. Really amazing.
Very, very inspiring.

Hace un mes ni me imaginaba que a través de Blogspot podría dejarle un comentario personal a uno de los mejores dibujantes del globo.

Este año conocí tu Mago de Oz y tus dibujos y colores me dejaron sin plabras. Es más, parece que subieron mis estándares de calidad en un tebeo.
Y te lo dice un exigente artista visual. Gracias.
Que tu 2007 sea insuperable, colega.

I had not known about this, but did however find out yesterday while during my visit to the comicshop when i purchased the book.

that seriously made my month!

I love your work! I own two of your french OZ books which i can't read, but the drawings tell the story better than an words could. Awesome color palettes and character designs. I can't wait to see more of you work. Thanks for posting.

Missy said...

My friends and I (all animation students) discovered your books while studying in France and I think we bought every one we could find, even locating an Italian copy of El Cid to see your design in action....I've just completed my boyfriend's French Oz set for Christmas and I've got Liberateurs, but now I can't WAIT to snatch up the English versions.... Your artwork is lovely and this announcement really made my New Year. Thanks and keep creating!

Enrique Fernandez said...

Argh! Please, no kiss on no ass on this blog, please! :D
Thanks a lot, muchas gracias to all of you.
And wish you a happy new year!

Colin said...

Checked out this book today, the artwork is great. I especially like how the winged monkeys look.

kapakkione said...

Sebastien Gallego said...

Hi Enrique
Just a quick message to tell you how much I appreciate your art. You really inspired me during these past 3 years. You are definetly one of my favorite artists.

Thanks again,

Sebastien

William Bradford said...

soooo good. I just got the wizard of oz series. I love 'em! I love your color choices as well as you technique. It's painterly yet flat enough in shading to avoid looking tacky

Unknown said...

Congrat!! That's awesome!! Will keep an eye on your book at the store!! :)

Sho said...

yeeey ! felicitats ! me lo voy a comprar en ingles tambien :)

Nunumi said...

Wow, you're one of my greatest inspiration! I'm really happy you have a blog! That way we can follow you, where ever you draw ^.^

Antonio Santamaria said...

Pensaba que ya te había comentado este... bueno, ahora lo hago... Felicidades, de antemano, por esas publicaciones en USA. Image comics, según tengo entendido, tiene una tirada alucinante en este país... molaría ver qué tal es la edición.
Y por otro lado, este "calabaza" es una chulada... cien por cien "Fernández" y eso mola mucho, sin ni siquiera verlo.
Feliz año!

Bill Robinson said...

I just finished the Oz book last night, Enrique. Absolutely beautiful interpretation of one of my favorite stories. Your artwork is so great it had me eager to turne every page. Congratulations on a job very well done and I can't wait to see more of your work. Thank you for being such an inspiration!

Marcos Mateu said...

Enhorabuena!!!

Great Artwork. I like your style, it look like liquid-paint full with life. Hope for more stuff soon.

Craig Mackay said...

OK, man. Image really undercharged offering the OZ comic for 10$. It's worth much, much, more. I told everyone I know to get it and showed it to all my teachers at school. You are a monster artist! Scary good! I love your designs and color sense. Can't wait for all the other Oz books to be illustrated (hint, hint!)

rusty said...

i was hoping you might have a blog!
i picked up the books when i was studying in france and now that im back in the states, i picked it up again! wonderful and fresh style, all in all very awe inspiring.

keep up the good work!
