 Bio! Ron Braun is an accomplished cartoonist and illustrator who's creativity has birthed such comics as Life As We Know It, Hello Cruel World and most recently, Toon It Up.
His "career" began in doing cartoons and illustrations for his High School and College newspapers. More commissioned work followed in the form of floral illustrations and various one-off cartoons, one of which was published in Starlog Magazine.
In the late 80's, he made a foray into single-panel cartoons, selling a dozen or so to various magazines and newspapers.
In 1991, his first comic strip Rob & Ron's Rock Talk debuted and ran in several midwestern music-oriented magazines for the next few years. The strip also spawned a comic book collection that was sold in finer comic shops around the country.
Rock Talk spun off into Life As We Know It, a strip that ran from 1995-1998. In 1997, it made it's web debut and was quickly picked up for online syndication by one of the more popular music websites of the time. It was also seen internationally in a dozen or so magazines and newspapers during its run.
In 1999, Life As We Know It gave way to Brain Fade, which only lasted three strips before it was brought to an end. The basic premise, however, lived on in Hello Cruel World, Ron's first exclusively web-based comic. The strip lasted from 2003-2005 in which time it received many positive reviews and online syndication by World Famous Comics, a popular geek culture website. Hello Cruel World also gave way to a strip within itself with 2004's Dakk Waggitt, Platypus For Hire.
The website that you're now viewing began in 2006 as the home of the comic strip Toon It Up, which, during the year it ran was syndicated online by two popular rock radio sites and is still active in Indy.com Magazine in Indianapolis, IN (along with two of Ron's other comics, Modern Daze and Pete & Pig). When the strip ended online, the site became an artblog to showcase the more varied work Ron has been doing as of late and will soon highlight the graphic novel he's been working on that features his popular platypus character, Dakk Waggitt.  |
