Angelo Concepcion

Sussex,NJ

Summary

I'm Angelo Concepcion (he/him), a 23-year-old who is driven, a hard worker, and an all-around nice guy.

I've been a creative professional in the comics industry for several years. I have helped shape and focus projects, bringing them to a polished finish. I have efficiently and accurately developed quality content within client guidelines, on schedule, with experience in delegating and managing work among a team.

As an avid comic book reader, I'm always hard at work writing, drawing comics, completing production work, and using several forms of media as influences to continue creating new and interesting projects.

The goal is to become a comic book editor or artist/writer, while I continue doing freelance art for several other clients in many other mediums!
