In 2017 @ProfessorLatinx edited an anthology called TALES FROM LA VIDA. He sent out a call for short comics, stories detailing ones discovery of their Latino roots. Among the people contacted were Ricardo Padilla and myself.

Ricardo asked me if I could illustrate his story, which I was only too happy to. It was the only time he and I ever collaborated on a comic. Shown here is the rough draft he sent me. It's so nice to see his hand drawn lettering and artwork.
I do wish we would have worked on more stories, but we were both happy to have collaborated on this one. He and I are about the same age, him growing up in Huntington Park, CA about 12 miles from me. Both discovering comics about the same time.
