About
Hi, I’m Ed Loera—an illustrator and graphic designer specializing in pop art and comic-book themed artwork, with a focus on t-shirts, packaging, and character-driven visuals. I’ve designed several hundred t-shirts and created art for major brands and organizations, including Chevron Houston Marathon, Earth Foundation, Christus Health, HP, Verizon, and iFLY, along with many more projects.
I also work across comics and publishing, having illustrated two children’s books (“The Ants in Addison’s Close t,” and “YOGA for kids”). Beyond print, I enjoy sculpture and portraiture and have had my artwork displayed at events and shows like Comicpalooza in Houston, “May the 4th be with you” (Star Wars Show), and multiple East End Studio Gallery exhibits. I’m highly experienced with both traditional mediums (pencils and water-based paints) and digital tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Procreate.

This postcard design was to take the skyline and/or places of interest of the city and create a retro-looking postcard to be printed on various garments for iFly Indoor Skydiving. I designed a basic template of the postcard so that I can simply add the new city graphics within the individual letters using Illustrator & Photoshop.
