A little about the story and author / artist below.
Over the past three years I’ve writing a novel and started to illustrate the characters and scenes and realized I had a picture book as well. So I wrote a little side story from part of the main story and created a limited-edition fairytale book from the illustrations. As well as this exhibition. It’s been fun creating this different media.
Here’s a quick blurb about the story.
When Gerry and his devoted dog Prosecco wander into a summer night glowing with mystery, they discover a secret written in the stars for over 129,000 years.
The Intergalactic Knights of the Vermillion Rose—legendary same-sex warrior couples from the Lemirian galaxy—have arrived on Earth in human form. Their mission: rescue the Lost Knight, reclaim the fabled Stone Tablet of Finality, and stop the shadowy Contrastadors before our world falls into darkness.
But saving a planet isn’t as simple as wielding a sword. Disguised as ordinary men, the Knights must navigate San Diego’s art scene, eccentric neighbors, late-night drag shows, and the complexities of romance—both human and cosmic. Along the way, Gerry is drawn into a love story that transcends time, distance, and even death itself.
Blending science fiction, romantic comedy, and space-fantasy adventure, Knights of the Vermillion Rose delivers dazzling world-building, heartfelt humor, and an unapologetic celebration of queer love. Written and illustrated by RD Riccoboni®, internationally collected artist and storyteller, paints a comedic universe illustrated in over 60 pages of his creations with vivid detail and hope.
A perfect read for fans of Good Omens, The Princess Bride, and Galaxy Quest, this limited collector’s edition invites you to believe in love, destiny, and the possibility that the universe is cheering for you.
