About PLUGOarts
A word from PLUGO
I learned to read thanks to access to my older brothers' box of comics. Once I could pick them out for myself at the newsstand (or spinner-rack), I was doing so. An early facility for drawing (perhaps thanks to tracing those early comics) led the way to an education in art & design while pursuing the dream of someday working in comics. Not counting school papers my first comic art was published by Indie publisher Double Edge Comics in the 90's it was at this time Carmine Infantino would let me unofficially come to extra SVA night classes where he would personally review and critique the work being done on those page.
Soon after, I would leave New York to find work as senior designer for Kung Fu Tai Chi magazine where I created the long running comic series TIGER’S TALE. As a result of my worlk for Kung Fu Tai Chi magazine I was inviterd to illustrate the Children’s Picture Book LITTLE MONK AND THE MANTIS written by screen-writer John Fusco. It was awarded both the Book of the Year Honor from the Gellett Burgess Center for Children’s Literature and the Preferred Choice Award from CREATIVE CHILD MAGAZINE. This book was also selected for the personal library of the venerable Shi Yongxin (释永信) abbot of the Shaolin Monastery (少林寺) Denfang, China.
In 2021 my short comic story CONTRABAND saw print in the anthology SPECULATIVE FICTION FOR DREAMERS published by the Ohio State University Press. It was called a knock-out in a Publisher's Weekly starred review. Along with a selection of free-lance illustrations, my past couple of years have been spent self-publishing the graphic novel series A TIGER's TALE (volume 1. 2022 & volume 2, 2023) exclusively via crowdfunding.
