WHO MOVED MY CHEESE??

This was a commission to illustrate the mining situation in Colombia.
Millions of acres of national territory are being auctioned to foreign mining companies.

(I think it's not going to see the light of print because the concept of the illustration turned out to harsh)
Meh, whatcha gonna do.

The "Alligator Bait" Stereotype was mostly seen on the late nineteenth century to the mid twentieth century. It depicted the horrendous practice of Alligator hunters that used African-American kids to bait alligators.

Today, Alligator Bait, is used as a derogatory term against African-American people.

I, in no way, want to condone or promote this stereotypes.

ADVENTURES IN THE ELEVATOR (Concept)

I just got a new sketchbook and a set of color pencils. I've never used color pencils before and thought this would be a time to break them in.

This is a concept for a poster I have had on my mind for a while now.

"Imagine an elevator door opening to reveal this characters on their way to work"
