REVIEWS & INTERVIEWS:
Interview
"Rina
Ayuyang Faces the Music"
By Darren Schroeder, Silver Bullet Comic Books, August
20, 2002
Reviews of Doodle Daze
"I very much liked this small mini-comic of random drawings culled from the sketchbooks of Rina Ayuyang. Ayuyang draws lovely clutter, both in terms of where it exists in the real world and in terms of placing a bunch of related experiences within the same mental/comics space for our consideration."
- Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Reporter
Reviews of Namby Pamby #4
"Rina Ayuyang spins stories about her cat, her brother, her TV-watching habits and people she's met into engaging, well-constructed stories. What's interesting about her work is the effortless way she's able to switch tones from story to story."
- Rob Clough, In The Details: Autobiographical Minis, High-Low #161,
"Any qualms I might have had about Rina’s abilities to draw well or tell a good story get blasted to pieces in this issue. This is a thoroughly great mini comic, done as they should be, with a variety of short pieces, each one with something significant to offer."
- Optical Sloth
Reviews of Namby Pamby #1
"Lots to think bout and much to appreciate. In
a word: Meditative"
-Darren
Schroeder, Silver Bullet Comic Books
"Namby pamby is a great new comic-zine all about
one person's connection to time and place, and the lessons
earned from it."
-Mike
Tolento, Assblaster Reviews
"Hard to believe this is Rina's first comic...
Each page is full of cartoony detailed drawings with wonderful
gray wash renderings."
-Almost
Normal Comics
Reviews of Namby Pamby
#2
"This is the kind of comic that eerily reminds
you of your own life.
A great read."
- Punk
Planet magazine, Sept 2003
"It's not often that a comic (or much else)
manages to evoke an emotional response from me, but Namby
Pamby did."
-
W.E.Elliot, Almost Normal Comics
"Cartoony and effective, full of emotion...This
is a really nice comic."
-
Carol Pond, Poopsheet
"The comics world can never go wrong with another
quiet,
meditative voice."
- Optical
