A certain character who may be familiar to some of you. If not, check at the video below:
Music
Fresedo
The second of my series of tango composer illustrations. The final product is scaled down to postcard dimensions.
Work in Progress
A small sample of what I’ve been working on lately; my first successful attempt at a graphic novel. More to come 🙂
The Jam duo
In Italy, I was with a friend to a local restaurant where pair of guitarists were having a jam session. The resulting picture came out so well that I decided it needed a post of its own.
El Rey del Compas
If you know me in person, you probably know who this is!

T-Shirt Commission
A commission I finished recently for my friend Brett Wildeman, a musician friend of mine.
Check out his music here:Â http://mynameisbrettwildeman.bandcamp.com
Snow Garden
Another portfolio-related piece. This was to be the poster for a vinyl record set I designed for a fictitious music group called Snow Garden. The girl is loosely based on Snegurochka, the snow maiden of Russian folklore. I’m not sure if she normally dumps wintery wind out of a cup, but it works quite nicely for the ambience.
Osvaldo Fresedo
Osvaldo Fresedo, one of my favorite tango band leaders. Â Bottom is the initial sketch, top is the traced, inked, slightly tweaked and bitmap’d final product.
I happen to love how his eyebrows contrast with his hair; Â his features overall are very well defined, which made him a breeze to capture on paper. Since I posted this on facebook, I’ve actually been commissioned by a tango friend in Newfoundland to whip up a couple more for other orchestras, so stay tuned…..
An example of his particular music style is here:
