I'm a New York artist raised in the South Bronx. I started drawing as a kid and had a lot of support around me encouraging me to pursue art. I moved to California to get my degree in Illustration. As hard as it has been, I've put a lot of work into what I do. It took me a long time to figure out what I really wanted to do. I was focusing on comics for a while but quickly dropped that since the comic market in America is dominated by Marvel and DC, things I am not interested in. I do have a love for story telling through drawings. Story telling and character design are what i have to offer. I'm good at copying styles or integrating styles. Instead of being against AI art, I work a long side it as an external brain for ideation and composition.…I'm a New York artist raised in the South Bronx.
