I was born on a small city called Uruapan, in Mexico. Later moved to Guadalajara in order to begin college studies and got a degree as Integral Designer, which is a mix between Graphic and Industrial Design. Currently living in London, UK about to start a Masters in 3D Imagery. Self taught in digital illustration and flash animation, I've been working for several animation & videogame studios, and as a teacher in a couple of universities, been published in books, magazines, won awards, blah, blah... take a look and judge yourself, images are louder than words :) I began to draw when I was eight years old, started using computer at 13 and got my first wacom tablet at 19. My first drawing style used to follow anime/manga trend, later I joined to a drawing website where I created two user accounts: one for myself, and other one for a character I created, just to see if I was able to create believable characters for my own stories without putting too much of myself on them, and was since this point were I gave my first try with the actual style I use. I'm currently working developing an independent videogame, doing Design jobs and as an illustrator freelancer.
