San Antonio Area Illustration & Design.
Hello and welcome to Estrada Design. My name is Julio Estrada and I am a design and art enthusiast currently residing in San Antonio, Texas, where I am employed at USAA, the financial services company for military families. A web designer for the Property & Claims division, I began working there in June of 2007 after having worked at Verizon/SuperPages, right outside of Dallas, for about a year and a half. I've also worked as a web designer in Portland, Maine.

Worked on a new snow-themed pic with a Blackhawk thrown in for good measure. The goal was to create a larger-scaled environment.

Made a couple vintage-style shirt designs for the heck of it. One is a Dodge Challenger and Hemi 'Cuda and the other is a splattery mess.

A relatively quick pic based on the Mass Effect universe.

Been trying to force myself back into creative mode, it usually takes only an idea or two to get it all started again. I put up another assault rifle concept, to continue on with the ones I had made earlier.
While playing Halo Wars, I was hit with an idea for a new drawing, space-themed, so I'll be working on that this long holiday weekend.

I've been away from drawing for a little too long! I always try to keep up some sort of creative outlet, and I've been putting together a bunch of plastic scale model cars, of which 5 are Dodge Challengers, both new and old versions. Too help my transition back into drawing, I made up a portrait of Winona Ryder that came out ok.
A Bit About Me.
Aside from design and art, I enjoy watching sports such as the UFC and the NHL. There's definitely something about events that require power, speed, and technique that I enjoy.
Gaming is another big interest. Shooters like Rainbow Six Vegas and Call of Duty 4 are my favorite and I also enjoy a good action/adventure such as Devil May Cry 4 and Heavenly Sword. Other great games include Mass Effect and Project Gotham Racing 4. In addition to games, I find movie watching to be incredibly satisfying and relaxing. Favorites include Heat, Platoon, and Any Given Sunday.
