Bio: I've always drawn. Since as far as I can remember. I've never taken any art classes for various reasons, but I've taught myself everything I know through various books and the internet. I've also gotten help here and there from professionals in the industry. Following high school I started getting noticed for my art improvement. Making connections with other motivated artists on DeviantArt helped push me even further. Especially from Ricky Martinez who got me my first comic gig with him on a book called Hell Paso. After Hell Paso we pushed our skills further and founded Badassery Studios. A tryout was held and other motivated artists like us were discovered and brought in to create what is Badassery Studios.
