Valero-O’Connell: Hello Paloma Hernando, love of my life, angel of the morning. Hernando: Good morning, Rosemary Valero-O’Connell! (Photo by Jenn Ackerman/For The Washington Post) A portrait of Rosemary Valerie-O’Connell, illustrator for the graphic novel, “Laura Dean is Breaking Up with Me” in her home in Minneapolis, Minn., on Thurs. She was lovely enough to grant me an interview to talk about her work making comics. Following the success of Laura Dean, Valero-O’Connell also collaborated with Shortbox in September to launch a wildly successful Kickstarter for a collection of her short stories titled Don’t Go Without Me.Īs a Rosemary super-fan, enthusiast, and friend, I wanted to sit down with her to discuss this gorgeous collection, and also to delve deeper into some of the history that has made her both a darling and a powerhouse of the comics world. Following the release of last year’s Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me (written by Mariko Tamaki, published by First Second), her work has won three Ignatz awards, a Harvey award, has been nominated for a GLAAD award, and was most recently awarded a Printz Honor by the YALSA. It’s been a big year Rosemary Valero-O’Connell.
