About me

I am a freelance Illustrator, graphic novel, and comic crafter, involved in editorial, narrative, and independent publishing, among other things. - I have
a special admiration for atmosphere, language, and narrative in all of its forms - on traditional formats but especially on experimental platforms: From the endless inspiration of literature to the fluidity of sequential narrative - which I explored through alternative comics such as Ponte Berlino (The-Promise.net), Genesis (Stripburger #73) and others. - I am currently involved in an overseas collaboration to illustrate Cameron Robert’s new novella License to Desire - coming out soon. I am working on some colorful contributions to a few anthologies and magazines, and soon I will come back to bring ideas into the world with my collection of folks Illustrators. With the same thrill, I am ravenous for new projects and chances to craft images.
