I am grateful to have done a book cover awhile back for author Lizz Huerta’s ‘The Lost Dreamer’. It was officially published at the beginning of this month (March 2022). You can find it at Barnes & Nobles or online at amazon and other book sellers.
About: A stunning YA fantasy inspired by ancient Mesoamerica, this gripping debut introduces us to a lineage of seers defiantly resisting the shifting patriarchal state that would see them destroyed—Read More>>

Here is a very personal mural that I am currently displaying at the SAP Center (aka Sharks Arena) in San Jose. The San Jose Sharks partnered with Teal Inner Circle, Zoom, and Local Color to display six murals from local artists, and mine was one of them. Each piece is 28 feet by 8 feet.
The prompt for the artwork was to show what San Jose means to me. The images below are what I came up with.
My thoughts about the piece:
Title: Old SJ
This is my Love Letter to San Jose. It’s inspired by my experience growing up here during
the 80’ and 90’s. It’s also reminiscent of the life stories of those who came before my time. It is the spirit of
my relatives, roots, and a way of life that fades in and out of this city as times change. Just as it had
changed for my Grandparents, so too will ‘Old SJ' change for me.

Just participated in a group show hosted by El Paso Frame Co. out in El Paso Texas. My piece is spoken for, but if you are in or around the area, go and see the work. Here’s a quick look below. You can find out more information about them on their website: https://www.elpasoframeco.com/

New piece and other announcements. This piece is called Nik Naks. I am currently working on some other pieces that cannot be released right now so I won’t be dropping as many new pieces this month.
In other news, I will stop shipping orders out between Mid-December and Early January, so now is probably the best time to get any of your holiday shopping in on my website. As you’ll notice, I have many more Paper Prints and all of my shipments are free on orders over $100, so grab two and some postcards for that free shipping.
Another update that I’m very excited about is that I am producing a Video Tutorial of how to Draw Digitally in my style. I will be using an Ipad Pro and Procreate app, but if you use some other type of stylus setup, you will be able to follow along. I’ll post more updates soon, but this will be out in January 2022.
Let me know if you have any questions, and thank you as always for viewing my work. Without you, I don’t have a platform to stand on.
Shout out to all my Contemporary Homies!
Hope Everyone is having a good week!
For all you Subscribers, thank you! I’m trying to present more updates on my website and less on Social Media. I know that you’re probably very busy so I appreciate you tapping in. Here is my latest print release which many have asked about in the past. This piece is inspired by Contemporary Native Americans, and the fact that they’re still present with us. Natives are often thought of in the past tense and as a history lesson, but they’re still here! I myself am part Native, as many people of Mexican Descent are. In this piece I combined the style of ancient hieroglyphics in a contemporary fashion.

What’s happening everyone?!
Just wanted to send you the latest update. I recently made this digital piece into a print and decided to call it Skyway. Just want to say how much I appreciate your support, in viewing and collecting my art. Because of this, i’m able to function independently and create more. In the past this was difficult because there were more ‘Gate Keepers’ in the art world and not everyone could enter. That’s why now you’re seeing the emergence of ‘Other’ in all sectors. This enables our perspective and representation in Art History, Culture, and Society. So Thank You!
Here are some details about this print if you would like to collect it.
