I would not have believed if someone say that my art will be featured inside @disneyhotelnewyorkartofmarvel .Lined up with awesome new artists. Displayed along with comic book greats. It still feels like a dream.

I've just started working in comics not more than four years ago. That's relatively new and I still have a long way to go. But the support and love from people moved me to places I would not have imagined I could reach. That's why I want to conclude these series of post by a heartfelt thanks to all that trusted me and supported me along the way. @jiggycruz @nextcomicart fam. @matthiasuy @cbcebulski @wizardofcroz23 🍻 cheers.

To the mentors that pushed us to get to a level that we wouldn't know we are capable of reaching, @sara_pichelli @adamkubert @carmencarneroart @oliviercoipel cheers🍻

And to my Wife @nonieann . who's been there since day one. I wouldn't have got into comics if it were not for her support and encouragement.

Friends & Family Thank you 🍻🍻🍻

There's still a long way to go!

INGLORIOUS X-FORCE #5 is out today, May 20! First full appearance of Warren Worthington III’s new persona - THE BLOOD ANGEL! Get your copies today! Congratulations to our boiiiiiiii Roi Mercado! @roimercado_

Got this very special comic signed back at OAX, and honestly, it meant a lot to me. This was the very first comic I ever bought with my own paycheck back in the day. I still remember getting it from Comic Odyssey in Robinsons, beside the NBI, and the feeling of finally holding something I worked hard for.
Back then, comics were more than just stories to me — they were inspiration, comfort, and a dream I wanted to chase. Walking into Comic Odysseyalways felt special, and I know a lot of people feel the same way. It’s one of those places tied to so many good memories and the love we all have for comics.

Our resident Star Wars artist @roimercado_ leads the way to our May The 4th art drop! His Chewbacca sketch card from a few months ago had a lot of positive feedback so he decided to do a “Meals To Astonish” version of Chewie chewing on some good old bbq! 😅😅😅 #StarWarsDay
