Rachel Grubb Appears In New Web Comic Series “A Life Behind The Mask”

Source: Rachel Grubb (Press Release)

“A Life Behind The Mask” is a comedic look at heroes and villains as they go about their lives in and out of their masks and capes, as they go about the same trials and tribulations of everyday occurrences as we all do except they approach things a little differently than most of us.

The web series will rotate around a different super hero and villain every month as they deal with their everyday lives in and out of their alter egos and try to manage a variety of everyday events in their own unique way and approach.

The series will feature a variety of women throughout the entertainment world that span the spectrum of models, actresses, and scream queens; Comic Book Divas will feature the likeness of the women to bring the characters personalities to life.
Well known B movie poster artist Dennis Willman is drawing and coloring the web series, Dennis Willman’s art style brings a believable look to the characters this plus the added aspect of the women lending their likenesses adds to the realism of the heroes and villains in “A Life Behind The Mask”.

Dennis Willman has worked on a host of movie projects and worked with many of today’s top scream queens including April Burril, Bianca Barnett, Elske McCain, Scarlet Salem, and many more.

Rachel Grubb is a actress, producer, writer, and director; she has been in the movie and horror industry for many years; she is credited with several projects ranging from in front and in back of the camera.

Rachel Grubb can be seen in such movies as; “Horror House”, “Tales Of The Dead”, “Horror Vault”, “Camp Kill”, she is also in the upcoming “Bad Girls Burn In Hell” and “Scream Queen Campfire”; .in addition Rachel Grubb is also owner of Silent But Deadly productions.

Rachel Grubb portrays “Jolly” She is the clown that enjoys the fact that she can scare you and your kids at parties and the circus, Jolly also has a twisted sense of humor and while she is criminal she has a odd sense of justice.

The character of Jolly is, of course, a play on Harley Quinn and the Joker. Instead of symmetrical patterns I went with offset loops and odd shapes to create the jester motif.

The horns are indeed a nod to Harley Quinn, but their design is a nod to Tim Curry’s portrayal of The Lord of Darkness.

The photo reference of Rachel was a very intense, semi-evil shot that reminded me of how Tim Curry can express death on wheels with a smile.

Rachel can emote like he does, so her face make-up was made to resemble the make-up Curry wore as Pennywise in “IT.” Her fishnet stockings are from a template that I created a few years back that can be distorted and warped to match the shape of the legs (I think I created it for a Ginger-Stein illustration…).

The trick is “mucking up” the template to match the pencil work and the painting of the composition. The balloons are another nod to Pennywise, and I hope the character comes off as fun and unique, yet scary in her own right.

Comic Book/Web Comic, and Rachel Grubb fans will enjoy the latest installment of Rachel Grubb portrayal of “Jolly”; fans are also able to buy Rachel Grubb’s prints that feature the actress as her character that features art work by Dennis Willman.

A couple of weeks back Comic Book Divas' highly anticipated online comic, "A Life Behind The Mask" made it's debut in the form of the one page feature, "Amazonia In: 'Power And Responsibility'".

Now illustrator Dennis Willman has given us a sneak peak at future installments of "Mask" in the form of title cards for upcoming issues.

First comes, "A Day At The Movies", starring Jolly, a character that was modeled after MIN friend, and part-time contributor, Rachel Grubb. That feature will soon be followed by "The Check-Out Line Law" (Deneen Melody as The Blackbird), "She's A Man Eater" (Not the Hall and Oates song)(Raelynn Blahr as Luna), "Requiem For The Besuited Villain" (Michelle Sheilds as Mrs. Marvelous)and "That Old Black Magic" (Kaily Alissano).

No word yet when these new issues will hit the web, but to hold you over I have included a couple of photos of Rachel Grubb, plus her bio, to keep you occupied.

Rachel Grubb

Another MIN Favorite.....and sometimes.....writer, Rachel Grubb is a multi talented dynamo who works her tail off both in front of, and behind the camera.

As of late, Rachel's star is rising, big time.

Again, if you have never had the privilege of seeing any of Rachel's work, here is her bio (From Fixter):

Rachel Grubb graduated college with a degree in English and wrote her first feature length screenplay, in 1999. When the script won Best Breakthrough Screenplay at the 2000 New York International Independent Film & Video Festival, she wanted to star in it herself, simply because she didn’t know anyone else to ask. Not wanting to make a fool of herself, she started taking acting classes, and, to her surprise, became heavily involved in the Minnesota film community—as an actor. She traveled to Hollywood for the IMTA Convention in 2003 and took home a trophy for the Sitcom competition, and a medal for Cold Read.

Since then, she has acted in numerous local feature films, including Doomed To Consume, The Monster of Phantom Lake, Harrowville, Group Home, The Romantics, Tales Of The Dead, Horror House, Health Freaks, and Unholy Reunion. More recently, she played a creepy ghost in Dav Kaufman’s 13 Hours in A Warehouse, and Hagra, lead huntress of the evil Liak tribe in Cave Women on Mars. She plays Angeline in One Way Ticket, a film about an arranged marriage couple from West Africa. She and her friend Brooke Lemke have formed Silent-But-Deadly Productions. They have just finished Why Am I In A Box? which Rachel wrote, directed, and starred in.

Here is a list of everything Rachel is doing in 2010, and let me tell you, it's a lot (From IMDB):

Scream Queen Campfire (2010) (filming) .... Natalie Williams (segment "Screwdriver")
Bad Girls Burn in Hell (2010) (filming) .... Susan Shepard
The Convincer (2011) (post-production) (uncredited) .... Bus Station Patron
Strip Club Slasher (2010) (post-production) .... Desiree Diamonds
The Telephone Game (2010) (post-production) .... Olivia Donnell

And here are those title cards I mentioned earlier, featuring some out-of-this-world art by Dennis Willman:
