Q. How long you’ve been drawing?

A. Professionally speaking since I was 24 years old, but I have always liked to draw for as long as I can remember, my hobby has always been drawing.

Q. What materials do prefer to do your art with?

Q. Character you love to draw?

A. I specialize in pinup girls, demons, angels, anime, comic, series movies as long as they are pinup girls.

Q. Character that you want to draw that you havn’t drawn yet?

A. The characters of Kill la kill (anime) … actually there are several, the girls of Lol (specifically the K-DA) and in comics I have always wanted to draw Rogue (X-men 90s) and She Hulk.

Q. What artist inspires you the most and why?

A. Joel Jurion, I love the development he has to create sexy characters without much detail or finish in his art. He has a very great quality and has a lot of sensuality, I really like.

Q. What was your first published work?

A. My first artbook published by Alberto Ruiz, with the Trinquette Publishing group: PINUP GIRLS there in 2014.

Q. Which artist would you love to do a collaboration piece with? 

A. With Scott Campbell I love his work. Joel Jurion I could say but I have already done work with him and I loved it.
