關於我： I make pictures. I am tempted to say "pretty pictures" but often they are unsettling enough to not be pretty. And sometimes I put a bunch of them in a row, and they become a comic.
Most recently this was the case with the series Screamland, written by Harold Sipe and illustrated by me. Image comics. Good times.
And when I am not doing that, I am making editorial illustrations for the newspapers, which is how I make rent. I am picky with my freelance gigs, and these days I tend to favor doing album covers and posters for bands and events. Sometimes I make pictures just for the sheer childlike glee of making some messed up beautiful thing, and those never pay the rent, so I hang them on a wall for a while or I give them to friends. If that made y'all curious, you can see a few of all of the above here:hectorcasanova.net
我想認識： art directors, publishers, other artists, comics artists, illustrators, musicians, and anyone interested in breaking a few rules, making something awesome, and changing the way things are done in the world.
Please note: I will generally accept friend requests, as long as it's not from spam or porn profiles. Gratuitous graphics comments will be summarily deleted. Post no bills.
