books, EDITORIAL DESIGN, and writing
Below you’ll find my Books, Editorial Design, and Writing Projects.
My self-published books are an exploration in prose/poetry, illustrated stories, photography, and non-fiction. I'm drawn to creating poetic narratives that use abstract imagery to create mood and depth. I love to combine traditional mediums (handmade embroidery, colored pencil, graphite, paint) with digital typography, photography & graphics. Not every project will utilize the same tools, a mixed media approach will be taken to realize each story to its full potential. Whether it's illustrating a story, or experimenting with comics to present your narrative in a new light, I'll use the power of images and text together to illustrate your idea, story or brand.
Regarding editorial design, I have been developing a film magazine called Sequential Dreaming. I plan on writing articles about some of my favorite indie, foreign, and anime films. In the meantime, I have created some sample covers and spreads.
My writing explores poetry, non-fiction, and speculative fiction. Currently, I’m writing and illustrating the first draft of my fantasy novella in verse, The Crystal Seers. I’m also developing a non-fiction book on Nuyorican artist Jorge Soto Sánchez, focusing on his life, art, and writing.
