About Me

Hi,
I'm a professional illustrator, freelance artist and occasional muralist based out of Miami, Florida. I've done illustrations that have appeared in Fantasy Role Playing Games and Fashion Magazines.

I self publish my comic, "Beware of Doug" that has turned into a series and will be continuing with issue 4 scheduled for a February 2007. I co-write every issue with my wife and we have fun just playing off what we hink is funny. (it's always odd when other people get it too ;-)

Right now I'm starting work on a webcomic about online criticism and married life that should be up soon.

I'm currently spearheading Saturday Heroes, a forum for aspiring cartoonists started by artist and illustrator Andrew Warner. Andy gave of his time and talents freely to create a place for artists at different skill levels and talents to meet and share their work with others. Over the years, Saturday Heroes has grown into a place where young and old artists alike draw, learn and grow.

In January Saturday Heroes will begin it's next phase. Each month's meeting will focus on the craft of sequential arts (comics). From choice of moment and pacing to lettering and design. Taken as a complete course the students will learn every aspect of comic storytelling and making. No style will be stressed over any other, this will simply be comics.

Thanks,

Newly Married Mannycartoon!
