Mexican versions of American westerns are fascinating

Good eye! Gerald de Jesus was working on TMNT and he and Ciro Nieli, the showrunner, asked me to design this. Gerry was the art director on El Tigre (after Roman Laney left). Gerry would go on to work on Book of Life and was the art director on Maya and the Three. I've been friends with him and Ciro since Mucha Lucha.

some of my favorite mustaches

Although most people think it's my love letter to the great Danny Trejo, I based Chakal on a bouncer that threw me out of a VERY questionable cantina in Tijuana. I think I was 15 so he looked HUGE to me.

sometimes I wonder if these old school artists knew they were so bad ass and their work would be forever and people would ask them to sign their bodies

this be me

process is progress

Martin Ontiveros art show in 2004! Special guest stars Dave Wasson and the muse.

sometimes I look at past artwork and I don't remember making it. Did a variant of me make this, I wonder?
