Q. What inspired you in wanting to become a comic book artist? A. Reading many types of Marvel Comics as a kid and watching cartoons. Q. When did you realize that you can draw? A.

I scan the art, send it to my email then transfer to the Procreate app. I clean up any mistakes or smudges and add effects/colors. Afterward I transfer this file to “Comic Draw” app and letter each page, covers and other content. Q. You have created many comic books that you released. Do you have a favorite one? A. I love my Tooth and Nail books the most and so far, my favorite issue is #6. Q. Do you have a character that you created, and you fell in love with? If so, briefly tell us about this character and how it derived?
