INDESTRUCTIBLE (Microcosm, 2005, Paperback)

This is my illustrated novel about High School, with a focus on punk rock creating a form of escapism from hetero-normative, vastly conservative Cuban-American Miami in the early mid 90's. I wrote about my first three years of high school; the unfortunate disconnection from my culture, and the embrace of Punk Rock after several years of general loneliness; due to the sinking suspicion that I may be Queer. As a result, I made a few friends, but many more enemies. Indestructible is about learning how to trust, and learning how to lose the things most precious to you, for the sake of owning your wayward self.
