It began with a rabbit. A completely sickening and psychotic rabbit. But a rabbit nonetheless.

My artistic and completely hetero relationship with Luis Diaz began shortly after his graduating from college where as an ad agency Creative Director, I gave him a brutal and completely sadistic freelance job of turning around 9 storyboards in a weekend. The drawings sucked, LOL, but in the end, he delivered what I needed. The curious thing about this is he remained my friend afterwards, which still puzzles me to this day. At that time, he shared his portfolio with me and I was completely blown away by his art. It was dark, erotic and magnificent, and somehow crept in to my innermost thoughts and made itself at home in my mind. Time passed and Luis began to talk to me about what he wanted to achieve in comics. The conversations led to his favorite character Cottontail, The Killer Rabbit™ and how he had never been able to find a writer that could capture what was in his mind. So I convinced him to give me a shot at it. (he was just being polite, I'm sure) Amazingly, he discovered that I was as sick as he was... perhaps more. This early collaboration led to a long and storied period of creative collaboration that continues to this day. The story we developed for Cottontail has yet to see the light of day, but when you least expect it, this homicidal hare will take its place in pop culture history. I'm certain of it.
