Carlos has been doodling ever since he can remember. He is self-taught, having honed his drawing skills on the pages of all his school books. In college, he created “IAN,” a comic strip about three little boys which was picked up by his college paper, The Daily Utah Chronicle. A few weeks later it was picked up by the largest paper in Utah, The Salt Lake Tribune. It ran for two years.

Located in Independence, Missouri, he has entered many art shows and has won several first place awards for his realistic drawings which you see here today. The latest awards were Third “Best in Show” at the 2009 Blue Springs Fine Art Show and first place at the 2009 Independence Art Association show. Both awards were for the drawing Sweets on a Bridge, which is a picture of his two kids, Cora and Gabriel. He has also drawn kid’s menus for local restaurants.

Carlos is a graduate of the University of Utah, a veteran of Desert Storm and is now a local mailman. He is married to Audree (see the drawing). He is currently working on illustrations for a children’s book which he recently wrote. Like all artists, he wishes he could draw for a living.
