The Art of Ronnie Werner

Ronnie Werner was born in Wisconsin in 1965. Raised by wolves, Ronnie learned how to draw from comic book masters Jack Kirby, George Tuska and Steve Ditko though he never actually got to meet them. He learned about pretty naked girls from the Playboy magazines his dad hid under the dresser. In the summer of 1977 he moved from Wisconsin to Oregon and discovered Heavy Metal Magazine. In 1980 at the age of 15 he and his buddy snuck into the first Heavy Metal movie.

A very brief stint at the Art Institute of Chicago and another at the Pacific Northwest College of Art, threatened to make him a legitimate artist, but in the end he stayed true to his first loves, pretty naked girls and comic books.

Ronnie Currently draws The Paranormals web comic for Bonus.com

He is divorced and lives in Portland, Oregon with his teenage daughter and retarded dog.
