 It's been a few years since I last made a calendar, but this year I was inspired!
If you like my illustrations, you can purchase this high-quality calendar from my Etsy Store, or stop by the BxAF Holiday Market on December 6-7 at BxArts Factory. I have only printed a limited run, so if you would like a signed and numbered one, you can wait for the market. If you want one and can't make it, you can order it now!!! I just finished a mural for Cricket Wireless in the South Bronx. Celebrating refranes for Hispanic Heritage month, it's been a real fun project to work on!! This year, I was really happy to take part in the 2025 Boone Ave Walls Festival. I created a Milky Way Teta on a gate, and I’m pleased with how it turned out! I love being able to paint in The Bronx about what matters to me <3 Last week, we added some color to the seating area at Lou Gehrig Plaza. The 161 Business Improvement District invited me to paint the benches, and despite the heat, we had a great time. I based the design on nature and geometric elements, including words related to the neighborhood. I have good news. This year I applied to join Illustrators For Hire and I was accepted—YAY! I’m happy to be a part of this curated group of professional freelancers. The specific type of illustrations that I have chosen to promote on this site are my MURALS, LETTERING, and FOOD + DRINK. I really look forward to growing these facets of my illustration practice. If you know someone who needs an illustration, please let me know!   I was lucky enough to paint for the fourth time with @uptowngrandcentral at 124th and Lexington. As usual, I like my pieces to tell a story and to make people think. This one is about sharing. We are witnessing how a whole country is being erased by bombing and starving them to death. We need more compassion, more empathy, and more kindness in this world. We finalized the second part of the Harborview Terrace mural. Four new walls and retouches in the playground we painted in 2023. I added two Hop-Scotch games to add some fun to the park! I really appreciate the Public Housing Community Fund for trusting me with these projects! The Harborview community is truly amazing.
