Robert Roach/Hometown Productions's Blurbs |
About me:
Robert Roach is a Los Angeles based comic artist & publisher. Robert & his father, Thomas Roach, established Hometown Productions in 1995. It was founded to produce & market Robert’s artwork, in comics, animation, & fine arts. Hometown Productions’ other goal was--& remains--to market other artists’ fine art works & prints.
Since 2001, Robert & Yumi, his wife, have spearheaded Hometown Productions’ endeavors. Black Inc! Imprints is the division within Hometown Productions dedicated to creative commodities in the comics industry.
Robert has worked professionally since 1992. He’s been an illustrator or a storyboard artist for many films, videos, animated projects & TV commercials. Also, Robert teaches storyboarding and marker rendering at L.A.’s Otis College of Art & Design. He’s been challenging--some may say “tormenting”--students at Otis since May 2000.
In the spring of 2006, Robert was the winner of the first ever Glyph Awards for excellence in independent publishing & his work gets rave reviews from pros & fans alike. The Glyph Awards recognize the best in comics made by, for, and about people of color from the preceding calendar year.
Robert won for his comic work “The Roach” (not autobiographical). The four-issue mini-series is best described as a B&W comic that pushes “noir” to a new extreme. It’s an iconoclastic retelling of Prohibition era hoodlums vs. detective stories with an enigmatic anti-hero, a detective/assassin known only as The Roach at the action’s center.
The Glyph Awards were presented May 19, 2006 at the East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention (ECBACC). Founded by Yumy Odom of Temple University, the ECBACC is an annual gathering for black creators and fans from across the country. The Glyph Awards are named for the web log Glyphs: The Language of the Black Comics Community, created in 2005 by comics journalist Rich Watson.
