Arrigo, Mason: - Artist Mason Arrigo was born and raised in Western New York. He spent his childhood buried in comic books. Inspired by D.C., Marvel illustrators as well as Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella comics. Mason learned to draw at a very young age and continued his craft while pursuing a career in make-up artistry. Mason is now working full time as Artistic Director at Embonpoint Publishing working on several upcoming graphic novels. Blanc Noir Deux is Mason's third graphic novel.Philip, Barragan: - Philip Barragan grew up in the San Fernando Valley, the not-so-sleepy suburb of Los Angeles. Philip devoted much of his life providing social services to the disenfranchised, including several years in Catholic seminary studying for the priesthood. Spending his days at the County Health Department, Philip works towards healthcare for all regardless of immigration status. In 2005, Philip returned to school to complete his education and graduated with an MFA in Creating Writing from Antioch University Los Angeles in 2011. Philip established Embonpoint Publishing in early 2017 to publish a series of graphic novels when he realized that many publishers were hesitant to take on the issues of size-positivity with an unapologetic philosophy of optimum health at every size. Philip believes that there is space in this world for everyone, regardless of body size. Philip provided the editing, design, and lettering for Blanc Noir Deux. The dialogue was a joint effort with Mason Arrigo, the creator and illustrator for this project.
