Tell us about yourself and what got you interested in drawing
Who were some of your early inspirations?
My inspirations were very diverse—French, Spanish, American, Japanese creators… there are so many! The ones who truly left a mark on me during my teenage years and probably motivated me the most to become an author are Adam Hughes, J. Scott Campbell, Masamune Shirow, Yukito Kishiro and most of all Katsuhiro Otomo.
What are some of your favorite projects you’ve worked on?
I would say my previous series, Harmony, my first series as a complete author.
Seven volumes where I was able to fully embrace my influences from American comics, European graphic novels, and Japanese manga—packed with action, humor, and superpowers.
Favorite character(s) to draw?
To be honest I prefer drawing my own characters, but I always enjoy drawing popular ones like Harley Quinn, Chun Li, Wolverine or The Joker.
What are you currently working on?
I’m working on the third and final volume of my hybrid comic/manga series, The Theory of K.O.
What inspired you to start using Raremarq and what are you auctioning?
Where can fans find you?
You can find me on Instagram where I share my works and keep contact with followers.
