LEONARDO M. GIRON

Having worked for more than 10 years as a textbook illustrator, Leonardo has become accustom to doing a number of different art styles and techniques. But he is most inclined to manga style illustrations, gaining inspiration from many great Japanese mangakas. This is evident in most of his work found in his deviantart gallery - s2ka.deviantart.com.

He also works as a freelance comic book illustrator for an independent comics publisher to further enhance his drawing skills.
