One goal a day until the final whistle.

My goal is simple: show up every day, experiment with new techniques, and create something inspired by the World Cup. I’m not sure if I’ll make it all the way to the end, but that’s part of the challenge.

The World Cup is always a special moment, and this is my way of making it even more memorable, at least for me.

Let’s see where this journey takes me.

DAY 1 - Mexico x South Africa

Had a blast working on this Mystery Sketch Event series.

One of the best parts was drawing characters I don’t usually get the chance to work on. From Zealot from Wildcats which brought back some great memories, to classics like Tintin and Obelix, it was a fun challenge from start to finish.

Big thanks to for the opportunity. More to come.

I’ve been diving back into Batman’s universe lately, and it’s reminded me why I fell in love with these stories in the first place.

“Heart of Ice” from Batman: The Animated Series remains one of my all-time favorite episodes. It transformed Mr. Freeze from a simple villain into one of the most tragic and compelling characters in the Batman universe. His story is powerful, emotional, and a perfect example of how great superhero storytelling can be.

Without a doubt, Mr. Freeze is one of the most fascinating characters in Batman’s rogues gallery.

I decided to keep working on this Batman story and I made the page 2.
Again, I played around with a comic book page in my sketchbook. A classic Gotham moment. Batman in the shadows, and of course, the Joker showing up to surprise the Dark Knight. 🃏🦇

Just having fun exploring storytelling, pacing, and composition on paper.

Should I keep going? Wanna see what’s next? Drop a comment and let me know what other character should show up.
