What race/ethnicity are you?
I am Hispanic. Mexican American to be precise.
Do you speak Spanish?
A little bit. I need to brush up though.
Which artists inspire you?
Gustave Doré, Dale Keown, Jim lee, Alex Ross, Frank Cho, Gabriel Rodriguez, Kelley Jones.
When did you start drawing?
I've been drawing since I was five years old. So I should be a lot better than I am, but I'm getting there.
Do you sell any of your work on eBay?
No. I usually just illustrate for personal pleasure and for commercial purposes. If someone wants a particular
type of piece done I'll do it but I don't usually do a piece and then try to sell it.
Did you take art in college?
Yes, I had to take art classes which really helped.
Are you working on your own comic book(s)?
I have some ideas for a possible comic book(s) but no, I'm not working on my own comics at this time.
Do you paint?
I have painted in the past, but not doing any painting right now. I would really need to brush up on my painting (no pun intended).
How did you come up with the idea of the Diny Tots children's book?
After creating and co-creating children's characters and working on children's stories with kidStar I thought it'd be fun to
create something new straight from scratch. As a little kid I always liked dinosaurs. I thought, what if dinosaurs were kids?
And the idea took off from there.
What kind of projects are you working on now?
Various kinds of artistic and non-artistic projects. I am currently working on a second Diny Tots book with more to follow
that.
Why do you write scary stories?
Horror stories carry an element of true good vs true evil. I believe this is more prevalent in horror fiction than any other
type of genre as long as there is no gratuitous blood and violence for its own sake.
I like fiction and though I believe that a sense of danger can be written into many genres of fiction, I think that the horror
genre can present a deeper danger than other types. Horror stories can bring that feeling of being scared, not only for
characters in a story, but also when you put the book down, that's why it isn't for everybody.
Are you writing or working on another book?
Yes. I am currently working on a supernatural mystery novel entitled The Disappearance of Sandra Breyer. I may put the
first chapter on my site when it is completely edited.
Which writers do you like?
Fiction: Stephen King, Joe Hill, C.S. Lewis, John Bellairs, J Michael Straczynski, Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman.
Non-fiction: Dr. William Lane Craig, Dr. James White, Dr. Norman Geisler, C.S. Lewis, Ron Rhodes, Lee Strobal. (Writers of Christain Apologertics).
