Limited Edition Footwear 

These Limited Edition Polygoon boots are so rare, Mr. Garcia is the only one on Earth with a pair. Beautifully displayed on a poorly designed scratching post, we notice the Polygoons text along the side of these Doc Monster boots. Eerily written in ghoulish green and highlighted with canary-in-the-mine yellow, these boots are indeed one of a kind. And let’s not forget the creepy classic black and…

The Activity Book Is Near Completion  A group pic of our favorite horror-heroes. Production almost complete on the first ever Coloring/Activity book. 6 years in the making, but who's counting.

Progress on the Activity Book. Yay!

Being sick is no fun, but at least the creative fountain is still flowing.

Witch Hazel

So Drake has the title “Boy Vampire” and Frank has the title “The Monster”. Wolfram even has the title “Tween-wolf”. Hazel turns into Witch Hazel, so she needed a cool title too. She has one now. “Spell-caster”.

Yeah, I am making a comic book.

Yeah, I am making a comic book.

Over the last few years I’ve been developing these comic book characters. Yes, at a glance the characters seem to be another bunch of young super heroes, but it’s less their powers that make them heroes and more so their ability to be compassionate, courageous and awkward in the face of every day peril that makes them super. Even amidst the infinite sea of comic book titles currently being…

Here's a video I directed for DJ Papito Red while he was on the EsNtion Records label. Toma Reggaetona was shot in Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago, IL. Cruising in the summertime with the top down. Gotta love it.

This is my most recent directorial work, titled LOC@S. It’s a music video produced for Chicago natives, Vivian Garcia and Armando Perez, who co-lab’d on this romantic tale of impossible love. On a shoe-string budget with a micro crew, we knocked out this shoot in an afternoon at Multi Kulti Gallery, in the Wicker Park neighborhood. And thanks to Alonzo Alcaraz's handy work with the camera and razor sharp editing skills, we are able to take a peek into the “crazy” relationship of these characters whom each have their side of the story to tell when it comes to love. :::Bonus::: Through out the video you’ll see scenes from Alonzo’s short film “LEX”. This track drops the hook more often then a home-made pole at McKinley Park lagoon. I guarantee you’ll love it.
