I can't believe it's been that long. I had a lot of fun drawing, writing, and creating this series. I got to meet cute, smart fans along the way who have shared Polly, Paws, and many doors of possibilities with me. Thank you for your kind love. Polly and the Black Ink is a series of 5 volumes (each volume solves one issue and the 5 together solve the bigger plot). I illustrated and wrote thinking of my students. It's a story of bravery and friendship, self-discovery and commu

Uncorrected footage of my new Notfrombrazil graphic novel. This one will be dedicated to my sister-in-love (law). For proverbs, sis! I researched and gathered for the past two years proverbs in both languages and tried to use the ones that have something different so we see the differences. Some are influenced by culture and people, others by country traditions. As always, I draw events that we have experienced in real life, taken from our daily lives and they have happened.

Happy New Year! 2024 will be to finish unfinished projects. Starting with my pop Valia from Beyond the Cliff and Courage. A couple of years back my friend James surprised me with Aion as a custom-made pop so I really wanted to try to make Valia.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Story Building and Rebuilding Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2023 by Reader Verified Purchase Quest Into Darkness is the rare second book in a series that is better than the first. I know this is planned as a trilogy, so I went in expecting this largely to be a bridge between the plot setup and character introductions on one end, and the promise fulfillments and climax of the story completion. It’s a quest after all, right? But if this book
