About the Artist

As a child growing up, my love for art and animation knew no bounds. I spent countless hours watching cartoons, animated films, and reading comic books.

Eventually, I started playing video games, which only fueled my passion for these mediums even more. In 1993, I decided to embark on my journey to master the craft of art and animation. Over the years, I created my own characters and practiced my drawing skills. 

I was fortunate enough to work at Disney in 2012, although not in an artistic role; I worked as a warehouse worker. However, I continued to hone my craft in my free time.

Due to the pandemic, I left my job at Disney in 2020 and am currently focusing on drawing comic books, storyboards, and animation. I hope to turn my passion into a career and make a name for myself in the industry.

Billboard Mock-up

The Idea
Every time I pass by Billboards I always wondered what it would look like if my characters were on them advertising something, so I got to work and did a summer theme advertisement for a drink.

The Character
The character I chose was Nestor since he lives in a jungle and jungles are Tropical end summer themed.

Mock Billboards
Once I had the drunk dark done I went to one of the copyright royalty-free stock photo sites and picked out images that have blank billboards so I can put the image on it to see how it might have looked if it was to be made for real and I'm pleased with the results
