The TMNT Tribute Book is a homage to one of the franchises that defined my artistic DNA. Through this project, I reinterpreted the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universe with my own style, blending the grit of 80s action posters with the attitude and color of the original animated series.

My work was selected in the international illustration contests organized by the official TMNT collectors group. Two of the pieces became cover art, while a third was featured as a double-page spread. These editions were later showcased at major comic events, including San Diego Comic-Con.

This project is both a professional achievement and a return to the source, a celebration of the era that forged my creative identity: the neon-lit, adrenaline-fueled world of 80s heroes, mutants, and rebellion.
