I am beginning to complement my work as colorist with fractals as backgrounds, brightness or color elements. Currently Im working in 2 projects as colorist (a one-shot and a 4-issue miniseries) and one as cover artist in USA and a short story for Openhaüs and some comissions. Is incredible how in 2 weeks perspective changes… and now, Im waiting for the money!!
