First, My Wife. She continues to support my art career every step of the way, to the point that everything is possible as long as she is by my side. 
Second, Joshua Timothy. I first met this talented creator in NYC for the Microsoft Surface Event in 2019. We have stayed in touch ever since and this year we were able to partner with Microsoft Surface at Adobe MAX. We created so much content together four of the five days of MAX, so much that you will see a few more reels featuring my Surface Pro 11 and Adobe for a while! 
Third, Rosalia Ley. We only met a month ago at an Adobe event in Atlanta, GA. When we talked about MAX and found out we would both make it to Miami, I asked her to partner for some creative content and she agreed immediately and brought many ideas ready to go. 

I also want to thank many many people but I will mention a few and then show you pictures below:
Adobe Community Experts Team, Sil Cleary for leading an amazing team of Experts to support the latest Adobe updates. Thank you for bringing me on to Adobe MAX! I had a lot of fun talking about the latest updates to Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Express. Vector art all the way!

Surface Team, Xiomara Malpica, Stefanie Keeley and Cora Leach for supporting Josh and Dan on our Road to MAX. We put our Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop to work with the latest Adobe updates and I have to admit, that the Surface Pro 11 is super fast!

The Microsoft Booth! All of you were super awesome to talk about Surface with Adam, Erica, Amber and Yan plus I had a ton of fun drawing on the Surface Hub, I need one or two of those in my art studio running Illustrator and Fresco, please! lol

I took many many selfies with amazing artists and creative whom I admire for their talents. I am fortunate to be part of a great art community and thankful to Adobe for giving me the opportunity to share this amazing experience.

I started my working life as a landscaper working in a family business. Day in and day out, pushing lawn mowers and cleaning up yards while eating burritos for lunch, burritos wrapped in foil that were warmed up on the engine of the work truck. 

Many of my jobs have been manual labor like when I worked at a steel company and then as a prep cook chopping up vegetables to support a catering kitchen that handled hundreds and hundreds of plates for special events. 

There were many days where I was too tired to think about art. I am a fan of comics, animation, cartoons and games and I knew I wanted to be one of those artists who works on projects that made something that the world could see. 

Every day I carried my backpack full of markers, sketchbooks and pencils because I believed art was my destiny and I wanted to be a full time artist, even if I didn't know how I was going to make that happen since I didn't understand the first part of building an art business. 

I was a forklift driver, I was a dishwasher, a cook, car detailer and even a ran a construction crew. Through all of it, Art kept calling!

Enjoy the poster series, the goal is 101, keeping it basic to give a shout out to all artists who's side gig keeps the world turning. We believe in you and are saving a spot for you in the sketching table!

What occupations should I add to the list?
