Damn, i look like myself.

About Me

I'm a comic book writer/artist (and sometimes colorist, but don't get me serious on that one).
Born and raised in Mexico.
Self-taught (that explains a lot).
I'm currently working on my own comic: Wyliman , which is a comic strip
that is being self-published with 6 issues gathered so far.
Probably inspired by 100+ differnt artist and writers, but my biggest and more significant influences are
Sergio Aragonés and Bill Watterson.
My very first approach to comics and what got me hooked for life into them was Sergio Aragonés'
"Destroys DC" and "Massacres Marvel" that i got from an art teacher of sorts, around 1998.
I used to do reprodutions of Calvin and Hobbes Sunday comics, but those comics, changed my complete
perspective of the media, geting me completly into it, not just as a reader and a fan, but an aspiring
participant of the same. And i've been working non stop in stories and characters since then to this day.
I'm still trying to break my way into the comics scenario, fighting for the dream to come true.
I have my hopes up, so i hope it turns out for good.
Art Goodness:
