Ralph Contreras
I'm a graphic designer and proud comic book nerd living in Santa Fe, NM. I have aspirations of becoming a professional comic book artist.
I've been reading comics for over 25 years. I owned and ran my own comic shop for 5 years. I've set up this blog to archive my journey from comic fan to comic creator. I'm posting my character designs, pencil drawing, digital inks and some fun free comic resources.
I'm always interest in making new friends and contacts, so drop me a line any time. - Shazam!Subscribe to Comic Book Graphic Design
