Raine is a fine illustrator that dazzles with fantasy paintings executed in gouache, the medium of choice for many of the greatest illustrators in history. Raine's use of this opaque and often overlooked form of watercolor creates a brilliant world of the fantastic, filled with fairies, heroes, maidens and villains that are rendered  with an angelic luster  that can only be executed by a master artist who has discovered a creative niche that is personal and unique.

Raine Szramski may seem like a new name on the comic scene but in truth, she has made the journey and paid the dues that entitle her to as a veteran. Raine's credits include Child's Play the Series, and Scaramouch for Innovation, DC Comics' Who's Who, First's adaption of the television series Beauty and the Beast which featured Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlma and work for other indy publishers like Opposite Numbers and Comics Zone.

Besides her comic work, Raine has illustrated for children's books, magazines and corporate clients like Pez Candy and Borders Book Stores.

Despite her work for others Raine finds time to continue to paint for herself and has many images available to view on Devient Art and for purchase on Cafe Press.

Now she brings her unique blend of llustration, storytelling, and romance of fantasy to the web pages of CO2 Comics where she will introduce Heaven and the Dead City which has never been published anywhere before.

Raine spoils us with lush cover art vibrant with an eery quality that haunts and invites readers as it opens a portal to a tale rendered in myriad tones of black and white that lend to the compilation of a graphic novel that will belong on the shelf of lovers of comics, fantasy, mystery and romance.

With over seventy pages in various stages of completion and more on the fire, there will be plenty of reason for readers to return to CO2 Comics to support  and follow the development of something special.
