For the last 15 years,his versatility as an artist has allowed him to work on a variety of graphic and fine art projects as well as concept art for film and video games. Rafael is also a professional Tattooist. His many art styles come as a result of being influenced by everything from graffiti, to Anime, to Comics and sci-fi and Horror movies.

Rafael’s favorite book is the Bible.
