CHIBI CHICANO
My style has been ever-evolving. In high school, I was deep into comic books and I drew many superheroes and was into cartooning. In college, I dove deep into manga and then studied the Chicano movement aesthetic. I also was fascinated by artist like Klimt and Mucha. I have loved Japanese art and design aesthetics as well as Mesoamerican codices. So many of those pieces find their way into my work at different times. With Chibi Chicano, it combines the "chibi" style in Japanese manga with the characters and concepts of Chicanismo.
