Paul Z Creative Services

Paul Szauter is a founding member of Equiseq, a gene sequencing service for horses, and has helped many of my illustration students polish their portfolio presentations. As a way to say “Thank You” I visualized him as the sorcerer of gene sequencing. Thanks, Paul!

Alana Rae Garcia of Al Does Art pitched her new comic book series “The Styx” at 1 Million Cups here in Albuquerque. I had the honor of working with Alana as she produced the first issue of this inspired project. “The Styx” tackles the subject of death in a very human way with fantastic heroes and villains in a fantastic dreamscape. It’s reminiscent of  “What Dreams May Come” meets “Alice in Wonderland”. Follow Al Does Art on Facebook to order issues of “The Styx.”

Most people hire photographers to capture all of the memories from their wedding day–not this couple. Along with with fellow caricature artists,  Alana Rae Garcia and Derek B. Lee, we captured their wedding on paper!

I had the tremendous opportunity to design the promotional material for the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce and their 2017 Gala. Every year, the event known as La Noche Encantada incorporates a different theme. This year, they featured Albuquerque in the theme “Rich in the Extraordinary”. I designed a couple comps but ultimately the über talented Craig Berry set the aesthetic tone with his invitation design. I then designed the tickets, program, outdoor boards, and print ads for both the gala and the after party.

For the second year in a row, I had the chance to participate in Star Wars Day at the Loma Colorado Library in Rio Rancho as a caricature artist! I had a great time drawing Star Wars themed caricatures alongside fellow caricature artists Alana Rae Garcia and Derek B. Lee. It was a great time at a great library that features a dog reading group, a manga club and a Lego club–check ’em out!
