United States
I love making comics! I publish under my own imprint, LOS COMEX, writing & drawing my own stories. Among my titles are EL MUERTO, WEAPON TEX-MEX, THE COMA and others.
I hosted two podcasts in the past (JAVILAND dealt with issues related to comics creation and self-publishing). I was the Associate Producer on the live-action film adaptation of EL MUERTO.
For the last several years I've been teaching a variety of comic book workshops at local community centers, after-school programs and libraries. I co-founded THE LATINO COMICS EXPO and also organized the SAN GABRIEL VALLEY COMIC BOOK EXPO through my participation in the Nuvein Foundation.
