Hi! You can call me Alex
I am a freelance digital illustrator working in Children's Book Publishing. I mainly work digitally using Adobe Photoshop CC but I love experimenting with traditional textures and incorporating them into my final artworks.
I love illustrating everything magical, whimsical and mysterious that takes me on unforgettable adventures. I also explore themes of love, family, friendship, and nature recurring in my artworks.
​
I've always looked for ways to share my talent and skills and it's opened opportunities for me to join local poster contests and competitions since 2016. I later became an Editorial Cartoonist and Chief Cartoonist in a local High School in Cavite, Philippines. Since the start of the pandemic in 2020, the online world has allowed me to reach father than my home country and I have now started working with clients around the world, creating concept art, character design, book cover illustrations, and animation background paintings, but the one that holds my heart has always been in Children's Books. So I am bringing my skills, experience and technical prowess in the field of Children's Book Illustrating!

I am based in the tropical Islands of the Philippines, living in my lovely beachside hometown: Tacloban City Leyte. When I'm not illustrating, I enjoy experimenting with new hobbies, journalling, reading books, meditating, walking in nature and around the city, singing, playing my ukulele, or finding the next comics, movies, and shows to obsess about.
