INTRODUCTION:
I hold a valid Vocational Certificate in Commercial Art Technology, meaning that I majored in Traditional Illustration and minored in Graphic Design. I am open to all freelance work in the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres.
SHORT BIO:
Jose Sanchez was born and raised in Miami, Florida on March 10,1968. At the age of six, he was introduced to fingerpainting. By first grade, he had picked up his first pencil, but it was not until the summer of 1977 when the mega block-buster film "Star Wars-A New Hope" hit the movie screens across America, that his imaginative spark was truly ignited !!! He was heavily influenced by the cult phenomenon-to the extent that led him to seriously explore and develop his talent for creating art further. As time went by, he has honed his skills, he has been notably influenced by the works of Science Fiction and Fantasy artists such as: Stephen Youll, Donato Giancola, Chris Moore, Tim White, Jim Burns, David B. Mattingly and Michael Whelan, to name but a few.
He attended Lindsey-Hopkins Technical Education Education Center in Miami, Florida where he received a certificate in Commercial Art Technology-majoring in illustration and minoring in Graphic Design. Jose would ideally like to see himself one day working professionally in the motion picture industry as a Concept Artist. He had previously worked once on a low-budget SF/Super Hero Animation flick titled: "Shadow Runner", designing the individual character's spaceships. "They tend to depend more on technology than they do on their own superpowers". He is also interested in the publication and gaming markets.
