Hey there. My name is Antonio Alexander Romero. I am a country-born, city-living visual storyteller who loves to travel.

Artichoke Presents was established in 2009 so I could self-publish books that explore current social issues through outsider perspectives. I’m currently working on a book series called Neengune, which includes Utopian Musings, a 2022 illustrated poetry book, and Howling Winds, a 2026 graphic novel that juxtaposes poetry with comics.

On this site, you’ll be able to explore book previews and read some of my thoughts on each project. I plan to sell books online soon, and will update the site as soon as the shop is ready.
