Good day everyone! It's been a sec since I've posted in here but as always there's some work lurking around that I have to tend to. Fortunately some of that work is paying off. Raf and I will be appearing at the Black Age of Comics event on Saturday 10th at Kenwood Academy, 5015 S. Blackstone Ave. by South Shore Drive. Please please come out and support the many talented artists that will be appearing there. Click on the title and go to Turtel Onli's link to this annual event! Hope to see all of you and then some!

My Interview with Belkis

Hello all! I had a great Labor Day weekend with the family! A whole lot of food and PS3Fun! My nephews are older now and we can actually kick my butt in a couple of the games! Ok mostly all of them but it's ok I always come back with a vengence!! (notice I never said I won! LOL!) One exiting piece of news that cheered me up last week was an interview with Belkis up at Belkis NYC: Marketing For The Creative Soul. I think I did a pretty good job! Please go check me out and judge for yourself! http://tiny.cc/Juan617 I'll be putting more things up as they come, Please please tune in! 'Til then Adios Amigos!

I've been busy!! Mostly from starting up a new project!

Hiya, I have not posted in what seems like months.. oh wait that's exactly how long it's been! But there's a good reason read on! Please come check out my new project with Rafael Nieves, acclaimed writer of Hellstrom, Tales from the Heart, and more recently The Apocalypse Plan , and even more recent than that he is the writer of my new book coming out later on this year, Saint G.

Oh and here are a few things that have also been keeping me busy!

WOA!! it's been a sec!

Hey all I needed to update this site acouple of months ago but here I am and putting out some of my older pieces from a couple of months back. They all had a more than a few re-writes, do-overs or were just not used, but it's ok I thought I'd put these out there to show some of the stuff that's been keeping me busy! Check 'em out!

WE HAVE RETURNED! tee hee!!! I'm like a giddy little girl!!

Woa man this is Sweet I will have more work out soon Promise but for now check this out! Jeeez this looks amazing! tee hee!

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies (animated)

This year may be the best year to catch animated episodes or specials whatever they are calling it these days, but know this, DC is on a rampage this looks SICK!! (that's actually good for all of those who are not in the know how yet!) Between this movie, the Green Lantern animated movie and the Wonder Woman(Yea I'm a fan... Bring it!!) one that came out earlier this year DC is kickin some superbootay! Check it out and bask in the all the good things that are to come!

Hi, I'm a Marvel...and I'm a DC: Wolverine (Deadpool) and Watchmen

HAHAHAHA! I had to share this!

Work related stuff!

Hiya all! I will have some new pieces up from my own projects soon. For now here are some work related pieces that I've been working on. Some will be around the Chicagoland area very soon actually both in print and web. If you go to Univision.com in the next week or so you'll see a few banners I created for the site.  I also created a logo for a site called theBrideSociety.com along with a popular bag named the Honemoon Bag. I really suck at promoting myself so please excuse my very late announcements! Please go check them out including illinoislottery.com where the poster that I created for the promotion is highlighted! Mostly I'm keeping busy putting my services to good use. Oh Watchmen RAWWKED! Not quite a true rendition to the graphic novel but I really liked it! Wolverine on th.... know what I wont say anymore, I'll stick to what I know and that's to show you all pretty pictures, the kind that don't make your stomach turn and produce vomiting sensations after viewing them, the kind that don't make a grown man cry from the agony of seeing a potentially GREAT picture be turned into something far less gratifying and less enjoyable to behold... But I digress, on with the pretty pictures(or at least I hope you'll like them more than that gawwd awful download that I have not seen yet from Fox that got leaked a few days ago!) Enjoy!!!

Hey Y'all

How goes it people! How has the past month treated you? As for me I've been here bustin' chops and gettin' busy with work. I really suck at writing and making sense of all that's going on around us. Friends and families losing jobs, not getting jobs, jobs not being available the whole thing with our economy and how the "powers" that be still are trying to get away with murder... ahem Roland Burris yea I'm talking to you!! Anyhoo, since last I wrote alot has happened good and bad mostly good so I will stick to the positives. I've met a slew of great people that have truly been blessings. Many I've known for literally decades some I've just met this year! All in all one thing I've learned is always be thankful for your blessings and so here I am thanking them!

First off check out this site I've mentioned in here before it's http://www.pulpfantasy.com/ it's a great site that is getting up there with content. I've even been adding my two sense in there so go check it out! While in there please go into the comics secti

on there you can see and read the

 latest chapter in Bryan Kinnaird's Proclivity, the comic series that is a prelude to the upcoming film the Villikon chronicles. Go read more about it...

Straight from Chicago I got to work with a great producer and musician, House legend Ron Carroll. The man is a top of his game. Thanks to Paulina "Pashii" I got a chance to work on his

 logo for a new label that Ron is spearheading. Read up on my man Ron...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Carroll

This is the Final look for Ron's logo!

I did a similar task for fellow Chicagoan and Gospel Music Legend Percy Bady. He is truly a wonderful person and an amazing artist. I got to create Percy's logo last year and had

 an amazing experience while doing it.

 Check him out

 at http://www.gospelwithintegrity.com/index.php?main_page=artist_info&aID=296

This is Percy's logo for his company!

I also worked with a few others in the music industry. Keep an eye out for these labels I'm just glad I got to contribute to the cause! I'm a huge fan of all music... even Ranchera music but not too much... So every single endeavour I've taken on from last year onto this year has been a blessing!

This logo I created for a New York label called OvahGround Records!

This here logo is for Teethed On Records based here in Chicago! I'm getting a bit hungry!

 

This one is for StreetLight Eternal Entertainment. Also from Chicago, I'm telling you we have some awesome talent here in Chi-Town, keep an eye out for all these labels you might see them in an itunes store near you!

Last but not least I just want to encourage so many of us artists who are honestly in need of a break. As you can tell the businesses are out there waiting in need of our skills don't give up, keep a positive outlook it only helps you go through these times with a lot more ease. I hope to see more of you all later, either here or in one of these many links I've provided! I hope you all have a great week! WATCHMEN... Friday! Can't wait!!!!!!!

HAPPY belated EVERYTHING!!

SO Christmas is gone, We are in 2009 now, wow where has the time gone and now we have a new President...Mr. Prez Obama... Big O!!! It's a hopeful time in America or at least in my eyes. In these times where a cloud of doubt and uncertainty glooms over our nation I look on the bright spots that still linger in our midsts. I'll admit it, I have a huge trust in GOD, and I don't let times such as these waiver my belief that you must first go down a valley before you reach a summit. Well I know not everyone will be in a happy or great mood now a days, one thing I do to bring me back to that happy state of mind is draw. It helps me focus on a totally different subject each time. Yet in every instance I get a very unique pleasure from the art I produce. Having said that, I've been doing a lot of art this past 2 months and I have a couple of links i'd like to share with you. Both are for the VILLIKON CHRONICLES a project I've been working on since last year. It was a great project and I got to meet a bunch of very talented folks while doing it. I hope that you enjoy it as well. Copy and paste each URL to your browser (Until I figure out how to make them into links!! Grrrr!). The first link is to the 2nd Volume in the series.

The second is to an article about yours truly and a bit of the inside process as to how I work.

http://www.pulpfantasy.org/Villikon/atthehelm.html

Both links are to this cool site called Pulp Fantasy. Really great site I'd recommend to any artist, writer, director who wants to see their properties put out unto the web in a very professional manner. Well that's it for now. I'm getting better at posting at least it hasn't been months since my last post, LOL! More to come!
