About Me

Now living in Beautiful Portland, Oregon, I plan on taking over the world through my company, Chibi Comics. I'm a freelance illustrator and graphic designer from the American Academy of Art in Chicago. Along with co-publisher Celina Hernandez, CHIBI COMICS is home to such titles as Bodies, For Hire and Ramel. Currently I am working on "DAYS APART," our autobiographical comic about our relationship. It is drawn by Celina and penned by me. If you would like to know more about Chibi Comics, how you can hire myself or Celina Hernandez or how you can contribute, just drop me a line through the Myspace messages or comment section. Thank you!
