WHO IS AARON RINTOUL?
Who is Aaron Rintoul? Aaron Rintoul is a Canadian born comic book artist and writer. Published works include "Masks" comic book miniseries, published by Septagon Studios. "The Dollhouse" and "Black Milk" short comics from "The Asylum of Horrors" anthologies, published by Asylum Press.
Aaron is a self taught artist whose influences include his wife Erica, David Mack, Roman Dirge, Dave McKean, and Ben Templesmith. Overall he is influenced by the nature of films. In creating his artistic pieces he uses a Mac, a Wacom tablet and a Canon 40D digital camera. His artistic style is a blend of photography combined with a painterly technique with an almost illusion/dream like feel.
Aaron had this to say about Masks: Masks began as an exercise in sequential storytelling using only visuals, mainly photography and digital painting. When I decided to actually letter Masks I felt the writing needed to be just as unique as its visual style. What I came up with was more of a graphic poem than a graphic novel. On the surface "Masks" is a dark psychological thriller that follows a girl named Sara who's thoughts and memories are not always her own. Masks is a non linear story and is meant to be left open to interpretation, so I won't elaborate and spoil that aspect of it. My intention with Masks was to make something highly original that I had never seen done in comics before and a book the reader would want to open up more than just once.
