Part 1 of an autobio comic I made last year, just in time for the 2022 San Francisco Zine Fest. I made this to process a lot of feelings and frustrations I was having at the time, some of which have resolved themselves in the year since then, some which have continued. So goes Life.Continue reading “Voids and Visions (2022)- part 1”

Building Up Treasures in Heaven – Summer Art and Updates
Earlier this year, while at a workshop at a local gallery, one of my New Years Resolutions was that I wanted to make more Original Art Pieces, and even possibly more Traditional Art (what a novelty!), to contrast with the previous couple years which have focused more on commissions and fan art. This has… notContinue reading “Building Up Treasures in Heaven – Summer Art and Updates”
Azulejo Angel illustration- Sphinx
Several months after drawing my first Azulejo inspired Angel, I decided I wanted to return to that theme and color scheme with another design, this time something a little more figurative! I’ve had this character design of a Sphinx or manticore-like creature in mind for a while, and wanted to do something similar. I keptContinue reading “Azulejo Angel illustration- Sphinx”

Medieval Doodles – Henry the Young King
More historical illustrations and figures from one of my sadly now defunct blogs. These are from earlier in the year, so they read a little more rough to me, but I thought I should post them here! I read Matthew Strickland’s Henry the Young King, which discusses a lot about the political and social contextContinue reading “Medieval Doodles – Henry the Young King”
“Addio Tesoro!” – A short fancomic
Somewhere in the Ill-defined 1940s, Feliciano shows Ludwig a very special secret place. But all is not as it seems…
David: Singer of Psalms, Slayer of Giants
An illustration of King David I did, inspired by listening to the Yale Bible Study video series on the books of Samuel. A complex character who feels very much like one of those Prestige TV kind of men who cause a lot of chaos in their path (and especially disrupting the lives of women aroundContinue reading “David: Singer of Psalms, Slayer of Giants”
Saladin: An illustration project and search for a historical portrait
Salah al-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub, better known to the Western World as Saladin. I wanted to do an illustration of him because I’ve found him to be a very interesting historical figure. Coming from a Kurdish background, he became the first Sultan of Egypt and Syria in the 12th century, and is known best forContinue reading “Saladin: An illustration project and search for a historical portrait”
“All Creatures Great and Small” Batman Zine Illustration and Art Process
“All Things Bright and Beautiful, All Creatures Great and Small” Illustration I completed for a collaborative The Batman (2022) Zine last year, titled “What Batman Movie Did You Watch?” a fun little reclamation of the meme making fun of fans doing romantic fanart of Batman and the Riddler. I was glad to contribute ot thisContinue reading ““All Creatures Great and Small” Batman Zine Illustration and Art Process”
The Lion in Winter – Poetry and Power
No man who sees her and has faith In her sweet looks, her lovely eyes; Could ever believe, in any way Her heart is evil: her mind, it lies: But waters that slide calmly by Drown more than those that roar and sigh. They deceive who seem so fair, Oh, be wary of the debonair.Continue reading “The Lion in Winter – Poetry and Power”
