Creator Maria Llovet was born in Barcelona, Spain and has drawn wide acclaim for her work. Her style has its stylistic roots in Japanese manga but she also drinks copiously from influences ranging from European art to the fashion industry. Her work is also characterized by a cinematographic influence that helps to drive her visual narratives. Sex and death are the big two central themes in her work.

"Maria Llovet has made a serious name for herself in the comics world and we're very excited to bring this pair of her works to readers now," says Rich Young, co-founder of ABLAZE. "Her rich art style and masterful ability to create a creepy ambiance and stories driven by compelling characters shines in PORCELAIN and EROS/PSYCHE. We look forward to readers being able to experience these thrilling and captivating tales for themselves."
