The PERFECTOS™ story and characters began hatching many years ago when I was in 4th grade, the year was 1984. My father came up with the PERFECT name and a vision of lovable characters whose “imperfections” were overshadowed by their extraordinary attributes and good hearts. Many years later I was finally inspired to fully develop the story line after the birth of my daughter, Elisa, in 1997.
These are some of my 4th grade drawings. Unfortunately, I didn’t keep practicing and my artistic ability stopped at this level, so I needed to hire an awesome artist (Randy Jennings - click his name to learn more about him) for my books. Experts say without studying art techniques (lessons/books) most people will not progress beyond a 4th grade level. So if you want the ability to draw the fantastic ideas that pop into your head KEEP PRACTICING!
