Bob Prodor is an Edmonton born Illustrator and comic book artist who got his start doing Gig Posters for local and touring underground punk bands. Green Day, Nirvana, and Desmond Dekker are the most notable as well as local bands SNFU, Jr Gone Wild and the smalls.
After graduating from Grant MacEwan College, Bob moved to Vancouver where he produced T-Shirt designs, Posters and logos for such diverse and underground clients as a burlesque troupe, an ultimate fighting team and a Jackass-style internet variety show as well as DJs and friends' bands. It was during this time he started working with Alberta Country singer Corb Lund, whom he has designed tour posters, t-shirts, and even album covers for. Their collaborations have even produced a comic book, Cord Lund's Western Tales. Bob is most proud of his own comic, Wine, Women and Song, which he has self published three volumes of. The stories include modern day slice of life tales, a retro-futurist deconstruction of silver age super heroes, and his own versions of classic pulp style adventurers.
After moving home, Bob has continued to work as a freelance illustrator and sequential artist. The Duchess Ranch of John Ware reflects Bob's independent spirit and drive for different and unique projects which push the boundaries of storytelling in the comic book form. "I feel it is important as an artist to always look for what is missing and try to fill that space with something interesting, inventive and fun. I'd like to thank James Davidge for having faith in me and letting me be a part of this important project."
