Later this month I will be attending the second annual ALAMO CITY COMIC CON (www.alamocitycomiccon.com) in lovely San Antonio, Texas. The dates are September 26-28 and I will either be at my table (C3) or hanging with my great friend and talented cartoonist, Jesus Correa (www.facebook.com/jdcorreasketchart) at table A15 as guests of CSA Comics LLC. I am opening a small list of commissions for the con. Please email me (cabaleiro.art@gmail.com)what you are looking to get done a

These commissions are quite honestly totally in my wheel house (likenesses and superheroics). Other than being perfectly suited for my modest artsitic talents, the best part of this kind of work is getting the feedback after it's gifted.

Both sites have a black and white version of the art as well. I will also be adding a limited edition (signed and numbered) print run i

I love comic books. I have from as early as I can remember. The visual medium of comics is viseral and gripping. It communicates in ways that just prose can't do. Every page, every panel plays such a crucial part in story, structure, tone, voice and in just conveying action and feeling.

I've been working on this series for a while now. It came from a brain-storming session with my significant other, Kristina. She is a lover of old Hollywood, pin ups, burlesque and Batman. This was a brilliant idea on her part that combined all of her favoirte things. We've had a really good time in "casting" the roles of the female villains.
