Well the short about me is I was born and raised in New York. Attended The High School of Art in Design and then The School of Visual Arts. Freelanced for the next few years and worked in advertising, comics, theatre, television and film. Was a co-producer of the comedy troupe "SAL SOUL" at the famed Caroline's Comedy Club. Became a member of the Comic Book Artist Guild and drew the 1st cover for their antholgy series. Soon after I was asked to become the new penciller on Philip Clark's "Quantum Rock of Ages" which has gained critical acclaim. At present I established my illustration studio, "NOVASTAR STUDIOS" in earnest even though I have used the name for years. Named after one of the 1st comic book characters I created in high school. I may yet revive that same character one day soon. The first major project out of Novastar will be "The Chronicles of Sara" also in the works a fantasy illustration calender for 2008 as well as other projects in the works.
Stay tuned here for news and updates on NOVASTAR STUDIOS upcoming projects and Conventions I'll be attending.

"THE CHRONICLES OF SARA":
The Story: Sara Vargas is your typical 15 year old. She goes to school, does her homework, hangs out with her friend. All was fine...until...the ship crashed.
An small alien crashes near her home after being chased by enemy ships. Accidentally activating a canister that was on board the ship, Sara absorbs the power that was stored within. Now only wanting to live as normal a life as she can, Sara must now protect the earth from an incoming invasion with only the little alien "Bob" there to guide her in the use of her new powers.
AN ORDINARY LIFE, AN EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE
A mix of "Dawson's Creek" & "Green Lantern" Sara will appeal to everyone who like comedy, drama and sci-fi.
Plans are in the work to release it as a Web Comic 1st in both English and Spanish.
Coming Soon "The Chronicles of SARA"
