My name's Ralph Contreras, I'm a graphic designer and proud comic book nerd living in Santa Fe, NM with aspirations of becoming a professional comic book artist.

On one random weekend during the summer of 1984 my aunt gave me a stack of comic books. She was doing some spring cleaning and luckily for me she thought I would like them. A new world of of great stories with amazing art took my imagination. From that day on comic books have been a part of my life in one way or another.

I have a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts, I owned/ran a comic book store for 5 years. I am currently in the process of creating my own independent comic company and penciling an ongoing comic book. I'm always interest in making new friends and contacts.
