It begins tomorrow– The next chapter in THE BEHOLDER saga. On the blog, the full Journey Into Misery will be serialized for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks for reading!

Journey Into Misery 3 begins on The Beholder

Today begins the next chapter on The Beholder, serializing Journey Into Misery 3. A new page will be up every Monday. There will also be some extra-goddies every now and then! Hope you'll swing by every now and then. Remember, if you don't follow The Beholder, he might destroy the universe. A small price to pay…

Cell Phone Girl

This is a brand-new piece I did just for fun, and I liked how it turned out so it's now the new home-page image on my website.

I've been recently thinking about how to bring some of the stylistics of my personal comics (especially the BEHOLDER books) into my editorial illustration work. The character is directly taken from my Journey Into Misery stories.

Journey Into Misery 4 at MoCCA Festival 2012

Another year, another MoCCA Festival! This year I'll have my own (half-)table, without support from Rabid Rabbit, so it'll be an interesting one! I'm really looking forward to it.


I'll have my children's books with me, along with all my mini-comics from previous years, plus some other fun merchandise.

Rabid Rabbit will be at a separate table, debuting the latest issue number 14, to which I contributed a 5-page story.

What's more, I'll be debuting Journey Into Misery 4, featuring two long stories and a couple short ones, from my BEHOLDER project.
By the way, I've been continuously posting there every Monday, with stories and drawings, feel free to visit anytime!

At MoCCA, I'm tabling with my friend and artist extraordinaire Anuj Shrestha, who'll have a new issue of his ongoing series Genus.

See you there!

Journey Into American Illustration

Good news, my hand-printed covers for Journey Into Misery #1 and Tales To Behold #1 were Chosen in the 30th American Illustration competition. While they will be not in the Annual, they will be displayed on their website.

It means a lot that this very personal work that I do simply for my own enjoyment was successful in this prestigious competition. You can see a temporary slideshow of all the Selected and Chosen works here. Thanks very much to the jury!

New Comics debuting at MoCCA Festival

The MoCCA Festival is this weekend, and this time around I'll have not one, but two brand-new mini-comics with me at the Rabid Rabbit table: Journey Into Misery 1+2. Both stories are pretty much wacky homages to the US comicbooks I grew up with, plus other weird influences. But most of all they were a lot of fun to make. They are hand-made, the covers are on metallic paper with rubberstamping.

Also I'll have my two children's books with me plus some older handmade goodies, and of course we'll have the new Rabid Rabbit with us (Issue 11), all of our back issues and my colleagues will also have new goodies with them.


So come by, it'll be fun!

New Comic for MoCCA

I've noticed that in recent years, almost all of my work was targeted in some ways to have a purpose. If I wasn't working on an actual freelance assignment, I created promos to attract new work, or I put together book pitches. Somehow I didn't allow myself just to play around without a "hidden agenda". So, this fall I had a burst of creative energy that manifested itself in two very silly, very low-brow short stories that had the sole purpose for me to have fun. How liberating! Well, now I'm planning to put it together as a hand-made book for MoCCA, might as well! Hopefully this won't destroy my career!
