When you work with writers is money more important or a stake in the future work?For now money, but if the right project comes along I’d give priority to it.
What indy title would you like to work on one day?Something scifi related
Where iss the line of personal success for you ?To have happy readers and an active fanbase, and of course to be able to pay the bills with my comics work
Do you feel Gay characters are being used properly in comics?Gay characters shouldn’t be treated any different than straight ones, I believe that telling a good story should be the ultimate goal.
Do you think animal abuse is over looked in comics as almost ok and not being taken serious as it should be?I firmly believe that as storytellers we have the responsibility to push for respect for all species, we all live here after all. There’s got to be a special circle in hell for those who enjoy seeing animals suffer.
What current project of yours do think deserves to be made into a movie?A scifi story I’m working on It’s Metabarons meets Game of Thrones.What is the Worst superhero team every created and why ?
Hmmm… I’d have to say The X-Men they started out great but with so many issues out there, I guess their story has been forced into a multitude of hardships, their team chemistry doesn’t feel natural anymore.
Well done you have a single paragraph to tell us why we should become fans and what you are working on now :
I stopped inking professionally to pursue a career in illustration. It’s been a long road of learning, doing advertising, graphic designing, and freelance illustration taught me a lot in terms of technique, meeting deadlines, and self critique. I’m currently working on two stories, one scifi, and another one fantasy based, as well as working on samples pages to show editors I cant meet quality standards and most of all deadlines.
