This is my piece for an upcoming auction where people were asked to create what their Totoro would look like. Funds go to help save the forest in Higashimurayama, Japan which was the inspiration to Miyazaki’s animated masterpiece, ‘My Neighbor Totoro’. There are tons of artists involved and it should be a fun event. I’ll add more details for the show as soon as I hear more.

I found this image that I did a few years ago for an online magazine, Sequential Tart.

Here’s another sketch that I recently found while going through things for my new site. It was done for a New Year’s image a bit back.

I found this image as I was going through some of my drawings for a new portfolio site that I’m working on. I just added a little color to it.

Thanks to my roommate’s technical support, I’m happy to say that my Personal Paintings website is back up! This was a site that I had a few years ago that shows more of my personal paintings I do ,or DID, when I had the rare time. They are very close to me in that they are for no one else except myself, with a few exceptions (some were for friends’ comic characters). Because they are painted on my rare spare time, there are only a few and I become really attached to them. Anyway, I hope you’ll take a look or revisit the site. I’ve added it to the “My Other Websites” section on the right or you can click here:
Here are some samples:

Found these two images recently, thought I’d share…

Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I’ve been a bit busy working on a project that I hope I can talk about later. It’s been super fun. I also recently finished this pin-up for the incredible Andy Ristaino. This is for his Babysitter Trade Paperback that hopefully should be out for this year’s San Diego Comic Con. It was a lot of fun and I got to do it in color! Here’s a sneak peek:

Here’s the surprise I was hoping to unveil at this year’s Wondercon. This is a sneak peak of a series of sculptures that I hope to make available to the public. I haven’t done this since the I published Pablo’s Inferno and it feels good to do it again. I will have this prototype along with a hand painted one to show at the convention. Each sculpture will come with it’s own pot and soil. I sculpted the original, which unfortunately was destroyed (that’s it in the background). My good friend Tony Preciado made the molds and casted the first two prototypes and I’m really pleased at how they turned out. Some of you may recall a wonderful Quetzal sculpture that I sold back in the Pablo’s Inferno days, that was also sculpted by Tony. He’s too good that guy… So hopefully I will have more of these for sale come San Diego Comic Con time.

This was supposed to be for a mini comic that I was trying to get done in time for Wondercon, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen…
