Poetry. Music. Dance. Culinary. Film. Theatre. Automotive. Mechanical. Photography. Sculpture. These are but a few artistic areas that help cultivate the type of artist that Armando has become.

​

An interest in art was first ignited by the discovery of the ever classic Calvin & Hobbes by American cartoonist Bill Watterson. Having  launched in 1985, one year after Armando's birth, the comic seemed so in tuned with what he felt he himself would imagine while at play. With this new found 'literature' not far from mind, Armando began to experience what would become a constant trait of his identity becoming recognized as "the kid who draws" or by the teachers as the one who gets into trouble for doodling all over his schoolwork (see image below).

​

Now fast forward some. Throughout his early school years, unfortunately, Armando did not find support to flourish his blossoming natural talent (academically). That is, thankfully, until the senior year on high school where an Art I credit was required in order to graduate. His art instructor was incredibly enthusiastic and helped Armando further exploit his natural talent that had remained dormant up to that point. In a short period of time the creative products produced were enough to build an admirable portfolio. Unbeknownst to Armando, he had created his ticket to college. 

​

WAIT A TICK!!! Armando enlisted in the Marine Corps , what?! Yep, everything got put on hold for a bit shy of a decade while Armando admirably fought for a country that allowed him to become the person he is today.

2010, Welcome back to reality. Now it's time for college, but with a stronger set of morals and values and definitely a better world view. Art Institute of Houston for a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Visual Effects and Motion Graphics was the first go followed by an Associates Degree for Graphic Design and Westwood College, School of Design.
