Arthur and Bernard Orson’s human forms were originally inspired by fashion designers Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra, who I met around 2013. A curse causes the married couple to transform into bears once a month for 3 days, around the time of a full moon. The silver lining is that both men retain the heightened...
I originally conceived this troll design for The Amazing Adventures of Awesome and Oops around 2013. But since then, I decided it would have a better, if not simply another, use elsewhere. In my illustrated poetry book Utopian Musings, my character Guillermo Ribera is an avid comic book reader. As I move forward with turning...

I first created Gorkilla for Super Duper Ham: Day One. When I started developing this short story into a more complex narrative, I questioned the existence of apes in the otherwise mammal-filled world I was building. For this reason, Gorkilla was cut from the story to be repurposed for one of my other projects. As...
I created the Ninjanzee to be a reoccurring antagonist in The Amazing Adventures of Awesome and Oops. The Ninjanzee are two brothers who work together as mercenaries. One has a daughter who fixes and physically augments the two whenever they suffer injury. Their appearance and circumstance will change with every appearance as they continue to...
