Born in Oxnard in 1959, Jaime Hernandez is the co-creator of the independent comic classic Love & Rockets, along with his brothers Gilbert and Mario. Jaime's main contribution is an ongoing serial narrative which follows the tangled lives of a group of primarily Latina characters, from the early days of the California punk scene to the present day.
Good interview! Good to see you still plugging away! You made a comment about your work being dated and I really have to disagree, your stuff always looks fresh and consistant, there are alot of artistic fads out there but the bigger picture is that you are still at it 20 years later (or more, but who's counting?)

A very cool webshow, on all sides; the photo history was great, the interview honest, and the story installment wonderful, combining your naturalism with sudden graphic drama and mystery, naturalism with the supernatural, in the way that only really good comics can do so fluently. Dated? Well, fie. So's Da Vinci, mahn, but his drawing of "The Three Virgins" still makes me cry. And your stuff still makes me laugh and wonder.
