Inktober 2016 - 2022

For this series, my goal was to push myself to create what I felt would be interesting comic book covers. But my subjects are not your typical heroes; they’re all Latinx heroes who don’t often get the attention that they deserve.

This became my most ambitious series because I sought to do everything to the 9’s: research each character, view the art currently existing, occasionally redesign costumes, explore their history and come up with a narrative explaining why each hero or villain became interesting to me in a multimedia series. Each drawing is completed using various inks on cardstock.
