Pictures are finally up on the Poop Deck Project website! Sooooo happy to see my print framed and amongst its cursed comrades. You can pick up a pack of playing cards for £5 + shipping or buy the framed print itself for £40 + shipping. Unframed prints will be available soon!

Trying to find the best shade of transparent cyan.
Somehow, I managed to silkscreen a new book in two days. I'll find out if my math is correct when I begin assembling it next week. Pray for me and the narwhals! If all turns out well, this book will debut at the Grand Comics Festival on June 8th and 9th.
If you find yourself in London from now until May 4th, you should head to the Coningsby Gallery and check out The Poop Deck Project curated by AMMO magazine. It's a character themed group show featuring 54 international artists & illustrators. I created a character for their nautical-inspired deck of playing cards for the suit "cursed pirate". Can't wait to get my hands on those cards!
Update: The cards are now available online! Get them while they last!!
Cameos by Estrella Vega & Alden Viguilla
I had a great time at the MoCCA Arts Festival this weekend! I met a lot of new people and spent way more money than I should have. My next appearance will be at the Grand Comics Festival this June. Now, back to work!
The MoCCA Arts Festival is less than two days away! I'll have some new goodies on sale, including this Owl Maiden tote bag (modeled by friend and half centaur Diana Khoi Nguyen). Stop by my table, D106, and say hello!
Here's a preview of my comic for the 2nd issue of Three-Armed Squid. Our theme this issue is the four temperaments. Fittingly, I was assigned melancholia. The new issue will go on sale during the MoCCA Arts Festival on April 6th & 7th.

The MoCCA Arts Festival is upon us! MoCCA will be held at the 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington Ave and 25th street on April 6th & 7th. Doors open at 11am. I'll be at Table D106 with friends Estrella Vega and Alden Viguilla as Three-Armed Squid. Check the floor plan map below to find us! We'll be debuting the 2nd issue of our zine as well as our handmade books and prints. Please stop by our table and say hello!!
Hello! Haven't been able to post new work in a while on the blog (no sneak peeks allowed) so this picture of my makeshift workspace will have to suffice (Notice the harmony between the Treks and Wars). However I have so much exciting news to share!
Happy to say that I will be contributing to Round 3 of the Old & New Project! For those of you not familiar with Old & New, it is a collaborative design project based on Biblical passages, created and curated by Jim LePage and Troy Deshano. This round's theme is "turning points". You can check out the full roster here. Can't wait to see everyone's work this round!
But that's not all! I will have a brand-new comic featured in issue #16 of Carboncito, a South American comics anthology. This will be the first time my comics will be published by someone other than myself! Since it's hard to find stateside, I will post pictures as soon as I get my hands on a copy.
Last but not least, I will be participating in a group show curated by AMMO, a UK print magazine and website dedicated to illustration. Without revealing too much, what I can say is I'll be illustrating a character with a nautical theme. The exhibition will run from April 29th until May 4th at the Coningsby Gallery in the centre of London. This marks my first group show!
I'm so lucky and grateful to be part of such wonderful projects. I'll post work-in-progress soon!
OK, so maybe one sneak peek. I've teamed up again with good friend and designer Shalimar Luis to create custom wedding invitations for our mutual friends. These leftovers were silkscreened on cardboard.
An illustration inspired from Judge Dredd for the Silver Screen Society. It's a reference to a line Herman Ferguson says to Judge Dredd when planning how to get back inside Mega City. I had so much fun participating again. Can't wait until next time!
