Bronx Rain

Made for Edyson Julio’s short story, “If I Decide So.”

This flash-fiction piece tells the story of a young woman in moments of desperation and reflection of her life outside of the prison walls.

“…That maybe the sky is waiting for me to watch it once more, or that the rain wants to kiss my dark skin before the clouds dry. Sometimes I toss water from the sink into the air above me, and let it fall over my head and shoulders. If I close my eyes fast enough it feels natural, like Bronx rain.”

Johnny Rooster Style Guide

Johnny Rooster is a superstitious baseball player with a lot on his mind.  Johnny, originally created for a clothing line, became a character I used for a number of comic strips.  This body of work includes style guide sheets and some examples of the comics, ranging from single image, daily strips, and a sunday strip.

Mariachi Party

The characters and matter of creating a mariachi band were sprung from ideas for a birthday party with hot pepper invites, armadillo cake, featuring a mariachi band.  Those were ideas being tossed around for a birthday party that I was asked to help develop an invitation for. This poster became that project instead and was featured at the event.

Anthem

This is an American story. The sport of baseball is as much an expression of national identity as any anthem in this country. It is a very mental game and I wanted to capture what might be going though these players’ minds as the anthem is played and allow viewers to develop a story of their own.

Red Cross

I wanted to create a set of images that might inspire someone to go do something good.  I landed on doing a set of ads for Red Cross that takes true stories and puts them into form.  Each image is a blood line that tells the true story of the person who was saved by donors.
