I’ve been doing exhibitions for 20 years and an Illustrator for 10. I had comics at home since i was a kid. My father had a bunch of them, specially european comics and a few Marvel Comics too. I was too young to understand who those publishers were but I remember some of the super hero issues he had.

I was born near Paris, France but my parents sent me to Portugal for good at 11. I was going back and forth till that age. My neighbor Ivo, told me when he knew that i was reading Disney at the time that, those comics were for kids. So he introduced me to Marvel and DC. That’s when i wanted to draw cool stuff.

My passion for comics made me look for my favorite artists and learn drawings techniques  on YouTube. I’ve found Proko and my biggest inspiration: Jeff Lafferty. Watching his comic The Beserkonaut being born on his channel, made me create The Sin Killer.
