Accomplishments
With the degree, a world of opportunities opened up to me, especially in my field, because I was able to teach and associate my passion for drawing with this. The short film was a success as it made the rounds of the different schools. The school of comics gave me the opportunity to be able to teach children, adults and disabled children that I still follow today. One of these guys gave me a lot of satisfaction. Other successes My book of stories, my paintings and my cutting boards.

When I'm free from daily commitments, I take some cutting boards I bought and paint on them. They are commissions that they ask me.
Or, if I have a drawing in mind, I do it and publish it.
The short film was made about 7 years ago. I participated in a project that gave the opportunity to learn this language.
We learned how to write the script, to shoot in general.

Lately I've been asked for drawings on cutting boards. I go to the store, buy them based on my taste and when I get home, I paint them with acrylic paints. I take inspiration from the internet but then I do them in my own way.
