Pen-and-ink line and stipple shading on cream with single spot color

Mexico City illustrator trained as an architect who switched to editorial drawing in his thirties. He works in technical pen on toned drafting vellum, building tone entirely through stippled dots and parallel hatch lines. Each finished piece carries one spot color — a flat ink overlay, never a gradient. He draws for finance and policy magazines and treats every assignment as a diagram with feelings. His humor is dry; his line is precise.
