For 25 years, I’ve drifted through the mad carnival of the American Dream — an immigrant with a pen in one hand and an ambition-soaked ticket in the other.

Fifteen years blazing through the surreal jungles of Hollywood, sketching fever dreams for juggernauts like Netflix, Amazon, Marvel, Universal, and Paramount. A relentless operator in the underbelly of cinema, leaving marks on films like Green Book, Renfield, and Where the Crawdads Sing — with gloriously strange detours through Pitch Perfect, Queen & Slim, and whatever else needed a shot of beautiful madness.

The TV landscape wasn’t spared either: Preacher, Your Honor, Into the Badlands — all bear the scars.

I don’t chase dreams.

I drag ‘em out of hiding, pour ‘em a double shot of espresso, and write and draw until they scream.

And somewhere between chaos, Bloody Perks was born — my graphic novel saga of a vegan-turned-vampire, because honestly, what’s life without a little blood and existential terror?

I’m on IMDb. It’s legit. My mom checks it sometimes.

My artwork lives right here on this site.
