It was originally drawn by Baranoff but is now written by Baranoff and drawn by [[Webcomic/{{Femmegasm}} Robbie Allen, aka Pembroke W. Korgi]].

His best known work, ''{{ComicBook/Horndog}}'', was originally drawn by Baranoff but is now written by Baranoff and drawn by [[Webcomic/{{Femmegasm}} Robbie Allen, aka Pembroke W. Korgi]] due to Baranoff's physical health issues which keep him from drawing. Since he stopped drawing, he's been primary known for espousing [[Creator/AynRand Objectivist]] philosophy.

Born in Orient, New York, Baranoff is of [[MixedAncestry Russian, Scots-Irish, Melungeon and African-American origin]]. His work often focuses on topics such as racism, individualism, and advocates the use and legalization of marijuana and free market capitalism, explaining that he feels that a classical liberal--or Goldwater-esque conservativism, some would say libertarian system, effectively eliminates poverty. He opposes "social justice" legislation, arguing that it increases poverty rather than helping the poor. His short stories, which are out of print due to OldShame, focus on AlternateHistory, BlackAndGrayMorality, anti-war themes, philosophy and satires of various genres of ExploitationFilm. Outside of his comics and film/video work, his art has been used to promote rap artists without his permission.

Baranoff wrote 5 novellas, starting with ''Soft Desire'', a Pulp Fiction anthology, followed by ''Someone's Gonna Die'', a HardboiledDetective story about an African American female private detective named Hot Chocolate. It features Baranoff's usual combination of sex, violence and stoner humor. He's since written mostly in the SpaghettiWestern genre, starting with ''A Boot Full Of Blood'', a vampire revenge story set in the Old West about a woman who seeks revenge on the men who murdered her husband and daughter and left her for dead - but only after she's turned into a vampire. This was followed by ''A Fistful of Molotov'', an Anti-Communist historical fantasy set in an intentionally historically inaccurate version of Soviet Russia, casting Joseph Stalin as a Spaghetti Western-style villain. It depicts real individuals in fictional settings, and was inspired by a negative review of ''A Boot Full of Blood'' alledging that it was historically inaccurate to the speech of the Old West, so Baranoff sought to make his Soviet Russia story even more historically inaccurate for dramatic purposes and a bit of humor. The last of his stories, ''A Claw Full Of Blood'', Baranoff's describes as his most derivative. It's about a hardboiled detective who seeks revenge after he is left for dead gangsters and turned into a werewolf; this one is set in a stylized present time. Baranoff laments this plot taking much from ''Film/KillBill''. He has announced plans for his first full length novel.

Baranoff's ProgressiveRock music is often a fusion of chamber music, {{Jazz}}, and ProgressiveMetal. There were also plans to release a DeathMetal album which fell through. Much of his early demos are out of print.
