COMICS

HERE'S SOME SAMPLES OF THE STORIES I'VE COMPLETED, AND SNEAK PEEKS ON FUTURE PROJECTS!

BILLIE HOLIDAY TRIBUTE (2019)

HERE IS MY FIRST EVER COMIC! A ONE-PAGE TRIBUTE I MADE FOR A COURSE I TOOK IN COLLEGE. MUSIC HAS A HUGE INFLUENCE IN MY STORYTELLING, I WANTED TO ENCAPSULATE THE COMMUNITY THAT WAS BUILT WHEN BILLIE HOLIDAY SANG AND EMPHASIZE THE DIFFERENT EMOTIONS THAT CAME WITH IT!

ROOFTOP PRACTICE (2020)

ROOFTOP PRACTICE WAS MY FIRST EVER TRUE ATTEMPT AT AN ORIGINAL COMIC WITH NO PROMPT GIVEN OR DONE FOR ANY CLASS, FOR THAT MATTER. AS ANOTHER ONE-PAGE STORY, THIS WAS AN EXPERIMENT IN PANEL COMPOSITION, PERSPECTIVE, LETTERING, AND ATTEMPTING TO TELL A SIMPLE LITTLE JOKE ALL IN ONE PAGE! TO THIS DAY, I'M STILL VERY HAPPY WITH THIS LITTLE PIECE AND I BELIEVE IT SET THE TONE FOR FUTURE COMICS OF MINE IN TERMS OF CREATING MY OWN ART STYLE AND STICKING TO IT!

BATMAN LOVES RAIN (2020)

THIS IS THE FIRST PAGE TO MY FIRST EVER SHORT-LENGHT COMIC WHICH I COMPLETED FOR A CLASS DURING MY TIME IN COLLEGE. FOR ME, THIS WAS MORE OF AN EXERCISE IN WRITING A COMIC MORE THAN IT WAS ABOUT ILLUSTRATING A COMIC. I WANTED TO SEE HOW FAR I COULD GO WITH A SCRIPT, AND REALLY PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF BANTER ON THE PAGE. THAT SAID, IT'S AN 11-PAGE STORY ABOUT A BROTHER AND SISTER THAT HAVE SUPERPOWERS BUT CAN'T AFFORD TWO SUITS SO THEY SHARE ONE!

RUBY (2021)

HERE IS PAGE 1 TO MY FIRST FULL-LENGTH ISSUE STORY, A 25-PAGE ONE SHOT ABOUT PUNK MUSIC, HEARTBREAK, AND BROTHERHOOD. THIS STARTED AS A PROSE SHORT STORY WHICH I LATER ADAPTED TO THE COMIC MEDIUM. THE STORY WAS NEVER COMPLETED DUE TO THE OVER-AMBITION OF MAKING MY FIRST "REAL" PROJECT A 25-PAGE STORY. HOWEVER, I PLAN ON RETURNING TO THIS PROJECT AND STARTING FRESH WITH THE ART FOR A SECOND DRAFT LATER THIS YEAR!

YOU'RE GONNA HATE ME (2022)

THIS IS THE FINAL PAGE TO MY FIRST ATTEMPT OF GETTING PUBLISHED! IT'S A 6-PAGE STORY ABOUT MY FAVORITE MEMBER OF MY FAVORITE BAND, AND THE ANGST AND EMOTIONS THAT COMES WITH BEING A PUNK IN A FAILING RELATIONSHIP. THIS STORY HAS GONE THROUGH 2 DRAFTS WITH A LOT OF INPUT GIVEN BY MY EDITOR! FROM THE FIRST TO SECOND DRAFT, I FIXED UP A LOT OF THE ART, COMPLETELY COLORED IT WITH SOME EXPERIMENTAL TEXTURES, AND RE-WORKED THE SCRIPT A GOOD AMOUNT. ALL IN ALL, I EXPECT TO HAVE THIS STORY PUBLISHED IN 2025! STAY TUNED!

I HEAR YA (2023)

WITH THIS STORY, THIS IS PAGE 4 OF MY 5-PAGE STORY WHICH WAS MY FIRST PUBLICATION! PUBLISHED THROUGH LESSER KNOWN COMICS - UNDER THE APOLLO CITY COMICS IMPRINT - I ENTERED MY STORY FOR A CYBERPUNK ANTHOLOGY AND WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ALONGSIDE SO MANY OTHER GREAT CREATORS IN A HUGE 84-PAGE ANTHOLOGY!IN THIS PAGE, I TRULY CHANNELED MY INNER ALAN MOORE - OR TOM KING - AND WANTED TO CREATE A CO-HERENT AND FLUID 9-PANEL PAGE THAT IS EASY TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH AND I THINK I DID EXACTLY THAT!

JUST KEEP SPINNIN' (2024)

MOST RECENTLY, I COMPLETED THIS 4-PAGE STORY FOR ANOTHER PUBLICATION THROUGH INSERVICE COMICS -- LATER PUBLISHED THROUGH APOLLO! THIS WAS ALSO MY FIRST COLLABORATION, WHICH I DID IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MY BEST FRIEND. THE GOAL WITH THIS PROJECT WAS TO TELL A STORY WITH AS LITTLE WORDS AS POSSIBLE, WITH ONLY A SINGLE LINE THROUGHOUT THE 4-PAGES THE HOPE IS THAT THE ART TELLS THE WHOLE STORY, ALA A SILENT ISSUE. I LEARNED A LOT FROM MY FIRST PUBLICATION GOING INTO THIS ONE AND APPLIED ALL THOSE LESSONS HERE, AND I COULDN'T BE PROUDER OF THE RESULT!

EVIL HIGH (2024)

RIGHT OFF THE HEELS OF MY LAST PUBLICATION, I SHORTLY STARTED WORK ON MY NEXT STORY! THIS ONE WAS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT NOT ONLY A HORROR STORY, BUT A COMEDY-HORROR AT THAT. INSPIRED DIRECTLY BY THE EVIL DEAD FRANCHISE BY SAM RAIMI AND BRUCE CAMPBELL, I WANTED TO FINALLY MAKE A STORY THAT WAS SIMPLY A FUN, SILLY ADVENTURE AT THE END OF THE DAY! I TRULY PUSHED MYSELF WITH WRITING A TIGHT SCRIPT -- REGARDLESS THAT IT'S ONLY 6-PAGES -- AND HOPEFULLY BRINGING MY BEST ART YET TO TABLE WITH THIS ONE! EVIL HIGH WILL ALSO BE PUBLISHED THROUGH LESSER KNOWN COMICS LATER THIS YEAR!

TRIFORZE #1 (2024)

HALFWAY THROUGH 2024, I DECIDED TO PUT TOGETHER A MAJORITY OF MY STORIES -- STORIES THAT ARE ON THIS PAGE HERE -- AND I CREATED MY FIRST-EVER PERSONALIZED ANTHOLOGY ZINE! APTLY NAMED, "TRIFORZE--" TO AVOID COPYRIGHT ;) -- I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THREE MAIN STORIES THAT BEGAN WITH SHOWING MY EARLIEST WORK AND ENDED WITH MY MOST RECENT ONE. I WANTED TO EMPHASIZE THE GROWTH I HAVE ENDURED SINCE MY FIRST ATTEMPT OF MAKING A COMIC IN 2019, AND SHOW HOW FAR I'VE COME SINCE! THIS WAS ALSO MY FIRST REAL ATTEMPT AT A COMIC COVER, AND I CAN ADMIT IT WAS QUITE A CHALLENGE TO FIND THE RIGHT COMPOSITION FOR EVERYTHING. HOWEVER, AS SIMPLISTIC AS IT IS, I'M STILL HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS AND I EXPECT TO ONLY CREATE EVEN MORE DYNAMIC COVERS FOR FUTURE INSTALLMENTS OF TRIFORZE!

I BELIEVE IN YOU (2024)

AFTER PUTTING TOGETHER TRIFORZE ISSUE ONE, I DECIDED TO SUBMIT ANOTHER STORY FOR APOLLO CITY COMICS FOR AN UPCOMING POLITICALLY CHARGED ANTHOLOGY: THIS COMIC KILLS FASCISTS. THE IDEA WAS TO CHANNEL THE FEARS AND RAGE AND HOPE AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN AFTER THE 2024 U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. CONSIDERING THE DEADLINE, ALL SUBMISSIONS HAD TO BE IN BLACK AND WHITE -- WHICH WAS CONVIENENT FOR ME AFTER MY ATTEMPT OF INKTOBER WHERE I PUSHED MYSELF MORE AND MORE TO DELIVER QUALITY ART EVEN WITHOUT COLOR! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I DECIDED TO LETTER THE STORY TRADITIONALLY TO BRING A MORE DIY-FEEL TO IT, WHICH FELT NECESSARY TO DELIVER SOMETING AS PERSONAL AS THIS!

LOVE IS... (2025)

IN PREPARATION FOR A LOVE-THEMED GALLERY, I DECIDED TO GO BACK TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE PANEL LAYOUTS: THE 9-PANEL GRID! NORMALLY, THIS LAYOUT IS USED WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF STORY YOU WANT TO TELL AND NOT ENOUGH SPACE ON THE PAGE. HOWEVER, I WANTED TO INVERT THAT AND HAVE AS LITTLE STORY AS POSSIBLE BUT STILL KEEP IT COHERENT AND TREAT IT ALMOST LIKE A SILENT STORY! WITH THAT IN MIND, I WANTED TO INVOKE A FEELING MORE THAN ANYTHING FROM THIS ONE-PAGER COMIC - SOMETHING I HAVEN'T DONE SINCE MY FIRST 2 COMICS! IT WAS A FUN CHALLENGE TO CONTAIN A WHOLE STORY IN ONE PAGE AND I'M MORE THAN HAPPY WITH IT!

FROM THE PEN TO YOUR EYES PT. 1 (2025)

WITH THIS PROJECT, I WAS FINALLY GIVEN THE CHANCE TO PUBLISH ALL MY UNPUBLISHED WORK INTO A LITTLE JAVI-ANTHOLOGY! OR AS MY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, BRANDON BLOXDORF, PUT IT AS: THE HAVA-ZINE! WITH AN EMPHASIS ON KEEPING A TRADITIONAL 24-PAGES I WAS ABLE TO FORMAT THE ENTIRE BOOK WITH THE EXACT 7 STORIES OF MINE THAT HAVE YET TO BE PUBLISHED! THIS WAS A BIG MILESTONE FOR ME AS THERE ARE STORIES IN THIS BOOK I NEVER PLANNED ON GETTING PUBLISHED OR EXPECTED TO GET PUBLISHED IN THIS MANNER! I HAD A LOT OF FUN MAKING THE COVER FOR THIS BOOK AND AM FINDING MORE AND MORE OF AN EYE FOR COVER ART - WHICH IS A BEAST IN ITSELF! FEEL FREE TO GET A COPY OF READ ALL THESE STORIES IN THEIR GLORY!
