Fast! That is one word that illustrates my work . If you can describe it I can draw it! Film and commercial directors have relied on my skills to illustrate their vision on what they are going to film.

I have worked on projects from cable sires Burn Notice to Post Cereals commercials . Depending on the project and revisions . My turn over for shooting boards can be a twenty four hour turn over . Shooting boards are usually used for the production of a commercial . The illustrated frames go with the script and the timing of each scene can be determined . TV Commercials such as AT&T ( “Gordo y Flaca” ) commercials such as Carnival Cruse , Dish Latino . One famous projects , was working on the movie, “Rock of Ages” movie musical version. Worked with director Abel Ferrara on his movie “The Blackout” with Matthew Modine.

STORYBOARDS are a unique way to interpret the director’s vision. Originally drawing images on to 2×3 frames ( four per page ) as director dictates his vision of the commercial or film I am about to draw . I can be anywhere where needed to work with director. Originally with pencils and drawing board in hand . Now with digital drawing screen and laptop . I am available by phone call or Face-time or in person to produce digital drawn story boards for the production team.

In my extensive background in production I have had the experience in illustrating and produced set designs for renown TV channels such as; MTV Latino, Nickelodeon, and also worked as the creative visual display artist for Tower Records.
