Thanks!! Since I am your long standing admirer, I feel quite flattered.
I needa see more! Gimme more!
Hello Ako
I just saw your stuff on giant robot. I like the color and amount of story involved. I’d like to invite you to an art show I’m putting together themed FORCE FIELDS. It’s a benefit to get malaria nets to peple in africa. If you’d like to submit your stuff, that’d be pretty cool!

Ako, I think your work is amazing. I first found you through Giant Robot’s video series and was reminded of how I also used to think dinosaur bodies were under the hills! Anyway, it’d be swell to see your work on the East Coast, but I’m plenty happy looking at images online. Thank you, Sean.
Thank you! I don’t know if you are close to Philadelphia, but I will be in a show at Space 1026 this fall.
that is where i live, philly! guess i’ll see you then. let me know if you need a photographer to document anything while you’re out here, or nearby. it would be my pleasure.
when is the show? i write for a local newspaper.
Hi, there; did you know Castuera is a village in southwestern Spain?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castuera
mmmh do you have ancestry from Spain? or Latin America?
thanx
Yes, all people with the last name Castuera originate from that village. The last of the Castueras left in the early 1600s. My people wound up in Mexico, where my father is from. I went there and they gave me free candy!
love your stuff especially the watercolors and dinosaur inspired art. would love to see more..
Keep up the good work ;^)
p.s. love Adventure Time
Thanks James!
Your welcome, I grew up loving dinosaurs as a kid too, as well as playing with toy ones too (much like a lot of other 6 yr olds). And watercolor is one of my favorite paint mediums to work with as well.
