Here are a few recent developments: 

Below are two pages of sketches from my sketchbook and also the thumbnail sheet I sent to the Alhambra Source for a story on a Cuban girl whose history of being bullied has had a debilitating effect on her ability to speak to others.

Below are the different versions I came up with and I believe they are using the version with the wine-colored wine, the purplish one at the end of the line - don't know yet, but we will soon~

X Culture

A couple months ago I was drawing with a bunch of people in a park for an Alhambra Source function. We drew food together and somebody came up with with a pair a chopsticks and some other genius said that the chopsticks should be holding a taco. Here's what I made of it:
