Jose Cabrera returns to the Latino Comics Expo this June 1 & 2 at the Cartoon Art Museum.
Jose, long known for his Crying Macho Man gag comics, will be debuting a new art book at the Expo. "For many years I have made my mark in the comic world through my Crying
Macho Man alter ego" he shares with us. "But recently I have gotten off that train and
hopped onto a spaceship that has taken me away to the deep recesses of
my imagination. This journey so far has been so fulfilling and freeing
that I feel I have become the artist I always wanted to become. When
creating these flights of fancy I can see the strong comic influences in
my pieces and the free association writing I was assigned in
college."
In addition to his cartooning and illustration work, Jose is the official Graphic Designer for the Latino Comics Expo. An intergal part of production team, has designed our two previous posters, as well as this year's.

Bay Area artist Ozi Magaña will be making his first appearance at the Latino Comics Expo in San Francisco June 1 &2.
Danny Trejo as Batman:
"As soon as I thought it I knew I had to make it." recalls Ozi.
"How ridiculously awesome would this movie be. My aim is to use various
aspects of Latino culture, from Pre-Colimbian to contemporary, to
re-interpret superheroes in a way I would have like to see growing up.
When life gives you white bread, toast it."
