My Bio

I am an independent alternative or "underground" artist who has worked on the fringes of mainstream comic books for nearly 25 years, in recent years under the pen name 'Sandez Rey'. I am most well known for my CRIMSON GASH stories for Fantagraphics' 'Eros' line of 'adult' undergrounds which series totaled 16 short stories in their sex anthology books and 2 full length comics, THE CRIMSON GASH VS HITLER and THE CRIMSON GASH VS CRIME and also a graphic novel published by Carnal Comics, THE CRIMSON GASH VS SATAN. One of my adult short stories was selected by Last Gasp publishing for their book collection BEST EROTIC COMICS 2008. As a publisher (for all ages...) I am best remembered for 2 issues of a title BIG MONSTER FIGHT, 3 issues of the title MINNEAPOLIS FREE COMIC and a trade paperback collection SANDEZ REY VS REALITY. I have also worked for a variety of small press publishers, done a little commercial illustration, some animation and the odd commission. My current work is PUNK ROCK COMICS # 1 which is up on Kickstarter now seeking funding. By complete coincidence.

  Holy cow! How did I write that long entry and not put the link to my current project- which is live on Kickstarter for some fundraising in it?  Here it is--  http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1122615729/punk-rock-comics-1     Please take a look even if you have no money to donate.  "Shares" are free and much appreciated!

First let beg forgiveness for only joining now that I have something on Kickstarter trying to raise money.  I know that is crass, but I am an overbusy dad with a straight job that I put 35 hours a week into besides doing art, a wife and two great kids age 15 and 12.  So my time gets stretched a little thin.  But now that I see what a positive (looking, too soon to judge...) place this is I think I am in it for the long haul.   Next, while I have posted a 3 page preview of the aforementioned comic, PUNK ROCK COMICS # 1 here, if you want to look through a boatload of my art please look up my Facebook archive Sandez Reys' Crypt of Underground...
