Wow, I haven't given my DA account a thorough walk thru in years. Replying to notes, comments and so on...it's good to start fresh. I won't mention everything that's happened in the last few years, except to say that I no longer do art full-time. I have a very fun and rewarding job in marketing. I do however still take the occasional commission, so if you are interested in that, write me at my e-mail rudyvasquezart@gmail.com NOT as a note here, unless you want a reply in 2 years. 

I'll upload a few new pieces of art, but to get all my latest, just follow me at www.facebook.com/RudyVasquezAr… and www.instagram.com/rudyvasqueza… to keep up!

Lastly, I'm working on my own creator owned book, finally! So, be on the look out for that. 

Good luck out there!

I'm usually busy with art duties on the book I'm on and don't have as much time to really do a great deal of commissions but I'm taking a bit of time to do some rare commissions! Taking orders for whatever you'd like for LIMITED spots!  Write me at rudyvasquezart@gmail.com  These will fill up quick and I'll get busy again so take advantage! Thanks to everyone.

Just wanted to thank you all for making us currently # 3 on Amazon's Hot New Releases category just behind The WALKING DEAD and DC's Swamp Thing! www.facebook.com/TheCarnyArmy Not a small feat and this is after we as a company had 9 out of the top 10 spots in the FREE Graphic Novel category with books like The Carnival of Souls, and the Funhouse of Horrors.

The NEW book CARNIVAL of SOULS "The Riddle of the Skull" www.amazon.com/dp/B00DQV5V18  that I drew is tearing it up!  Get your copy and thank you all so much! We plan on collecting this whole series in a trade after we've released them all digitally. 

Carnival Comics has had a challenging but very rewarding journey the last few years. Without getting into too much details, suffice to say what hasn't killed us has made us stronger.  Unexpected opportunity and an influx of readers tells us that people are watching and even more people are telling us they want more.  With downloads in the millions globally and more each day, the digital market may not be most people's first choice but it is alive and well! 

We have intentions of collecting the books down the road in print form for those purists but at the moment, getting you our stories in the quickest, cheapest and most quality driven way is what we're about.  I come from very humble beginnings so it's so nice to have hard work validated.  Leaving smaller ponds and thinking bigger has been the best thing I've ever done and it has allowed me to also help out people in the indy market that I believe in too.  In fact, don't let the numbers fool you, CARNIVAL is very indy.  Just a few guys putting together very heart felt stuff and trying to get as many people as possible to see it. 

I started with CARNIVAL Comics working on the FUNHOUSE of HORRORS mini series but now I'm fully on the CARNIVAL of SOULS series that stopped at issue three, 7 years ago.  Now, I'm part of a team that is bring it back to life after all this time, in a big way!  I'm still very much inspired by my peers and am grateful to have this be my job.  Drawing these colorful but dark characters gets more fun everyday!

I shouldn't wait so long to update you but better late than never.

First off, it's been a great lead up to Halloween and it was a blast!  We at CARNIVAL comics launched the Kindle RAW edition of FUNHOUSE of HORRORS Issue 4 " Carnival of Horrors!" We decided to do a somewhat behind the scenes version and will later release the completely colored version.  People seem to like the black and white and my pencils for some reason.  There's something about pulling back that curtain I guess.  You can read it here for FREE if you have a KINDLE.  www.amazon.com/FUNHOUSE-OF-HOR…

AUTHOR and Creator Jazan Wild also released the CARNIVAL of SOULS Novel both in print and digitally recently, in which I also have illustrations of some characters.  It's a great read!  www.amazon.com/CARNIVAL-SOULS-…

On top of that today, FUNHOUSE of HORRORS reached number 1 in the world on the WINDOWS Phone platform in the FICTION Books category for paid E-Books.  As Chief Creative Officer of CARNIVAL Comics I can't be more proud!  We beat out the King James Bible and Diary of a Wimpy Kid!  Not bad.  

Last but not least, check out my INTERVIEW with Monica Gomez of NPR's "State of the Arts" for El Paso's 88.5 FM.  www.ktep.org/post/state-arts-c…

I'd like to thank all the readers for consistently making us # 1 on the international scene for several platforms.  Our collective downloads are into the millions so you rock! You can find our books in print form now through INDYPLANET .com or AMAZON's createspace.  You guys made it possible!
