Recent work

Another personal piece.

New personal work.

This is the poster that I designed for the film

The Silent Truth, for which I also contributed

about 50 illustrations posted earlier in the

summer. they were transfered into animations

(which I will post in the near future) by

Filipe Topa. Thanks Rich Tu for your

design input. The film is finally done, and

will be making the rounds at festivals

later this year. I also wanted to thank

Joe Cipri, for suggesting me for this project.

A comic I contributed to an unofficial

anthology of DC superheros.  My

character is Deadman. 

More comics from my 

collaboration with Sean T. Collins

Drawings I've been working on for a comic

written by Sean T. Collins.

New comics I've been working on, they are 

part of a longer project.  The first three

appeared in the comic anthology Supertalk,

and the last five will be in the upcoming 

Rabid Rabbit anthology titled Hell.

last year I was invited to complete a sketchbook for 

an exhibition that was taking place in the Marte 

Museum in El Salvador, The show ran from April

to June this year, and I just got some images, and 

a link to an article about the show. It was a very cool

show, very minimal, all of the books were exactly the 

same size and color. To read more about it, go here.

Thanks Ana and Rueben!

This is a very cool music video from Blockheads 

new album, The Music Scene.  Though I

had nothing to do with the animation, it  

is styled after the album art, that Owen 

Brozman and I created and designed.
