Web Sites in Production

New Mexico Office of Border Health Homepage and Flyout Menus

This is a website I am creating for the New Mexico Office of Border Health(OBH). The OBH has no website currently in existence and the larger New Mexico Dept. of Health(DOH) is looking to revise it's current web site.

New Mexico Dept. of Health Drop Down Menu

The page I created has a banner at the top which is meant to refer to the main DOH organization. The user can navigate back to the DOH homepage from anywhere on the site by pressing the button/logo at the upper left. The user can also navigate to a DOH-specific link using the drop down menus as shown above.

Menu for the OBH contains a homepage logo/button and flyaway menus

When the user is browsing an office or bureau within the larger DOH entity such as the Office of Border Health, that office's logo and links will appear within the left column of the site. The office logo will also act as a button to the office's homepage and the left column may contain a flyaway menu as shown above.


The Promotora page above is a subdivision of the OBH which is a subdivision of the Public Health Division which is one of several divisions of the DOH. I organized the website so that the user can navigate the entire DOH through hierarchy of divisions. This is done by the blue "stackers" found in the left gray column. The current division being viewed is noted by the top blue stacker found beneath the division logo/button. This stacker is labeled as active by a white arrow pointing outward. Higher divisions can be navigated to by clicking on the stackers located below the current division's menu. These stackers are not active and are labeled with a downwards white arrow. By using these stackers, the user can navigate the entire heirarchy of the New Mexico Dept of Health.

The site was made to be expandable to any monitor size and was written using simple html, CSS, and some Javascript.

The site's content and information needs to be fully provided by the DOH before it can be posted to the web.

Batman Shots

Here's some test shots from a 3D animation I made. You can see some of my previous work on it here and here. Hopefully, I'll be able to post the finished animation soon.

Got Shots? Immunization Flier

This is a flier that I created for several locations around New Mexico.

classic studies

study of The Death of Marat

Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Greedo

These were done for a class I audited while I was in grad school. I had a little bit of the "liver poisoning". I don't know if that was what I really had, but my doctor didn't know what to call it either. I ended up losing 20lbs in only a few weeks, but I was still going to class and my part time job. Deadlines are important you know. These drawings are based on Death of Marat
and The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp

The Weeping Women of Juarez

They Shot the Tiger on His Chain

These are a couple of etchings I did a few years ago as a grad student. Because of the sort of violent scratching and dark nature of the ink, I ended up doing pieces that had a darker theme to them.

The first is an illustration from The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, which is essentially a crucifixion scene.

The second is a print based off of the horrible Ciudad Juarez murders. I also sort of used the Mexican legend of "La Llorona" or the "Weeping Woman". This legend supposedly starts off when an Aztec woman had an affair with a Spanish Conquistador and ended up betraying her people for him. After the conquistador had left her, she realized what she had done and went mad. La Llorona threw the children she had by the conquistador into a river. But she had loved those children and was eternally doomed to wander the lakes and rivers of Mexico looking for her babies.

An anthropology book I had read suggested that this story was why the Virgin of Guadalupe was so important in Mexican tradition. Until the Virgin of Guadalupe appeared, the cultural or mythical mother of Mexico was "La Llorona" and under this legend, Mexicans were portrayed as unwanted children of Conquistadors and Indians. The Virgin of Guadalupe brought a sense that Mexicans and all the people of the Americas were now children of God.

The third etching is based off of a song I had heard by Neko Case called "The Tigers Have Spoken". It is about a pet tiger who was put down by the police dept. To me it seemed like the song was about people who are trapped living in places they were never meant to be.

Water Willie

I've been helping AdInk in El Paso to create some materials for the El Paso Water Utilities program "Water, Water Everywhere". The program teaches young kids the difference between drinkable, potable water and reclaimed non-potable water. These are two early drafts that I submitted to try and get a feel for how the final posters might come out.

Border Binational Health Week

The Red Ribbon Rally during Border Binational Health Week was a big event that was put on during work. I ended up creating a lot of material and here's some examples of that work.

Logos to be used on promotional materials, posters, newspaper advertisements, fliers that were sent to dignitaries and ads to be stuffed in water bills. All of this material was done in both English and in Spanish.

I was asked to help organize the parade at the beginning of the event. My official title was "Parade Master" and I got to use a bullhorn. Get in line people! Here is the map I created for the parade route.

I created a schedule of events


One of the ideas for the Red Ribbon Rally was a Drug Free Pledge Card. These cards were signed by kids pledging themselves to be drug free. They were then attached to red balloons and released into the air.


This is where the red balloons and pledge cards were distributed. In addition to the cards and balloons, people were given posters on teen drinking. I ended up doing this poster in both English and Spanish.

Bored Doodlings at Work

I was put on hold at work today for a while. So I drew a picture of Aquaman. They picked up before I could finish that giant squid tentacle to the right there.

Also, as a side note, spell check does not recognize the word "Aquaman".
Someone should get on that right away.
