WELCOME TO TEQUILA GRAPHICS

As a kid I remember sketching weird little characters in class while my teacher went on and on about something that didn't seem too interesting to me. I wasn't the greatest of listeners. As you can imagine, I did not have the best grades in the class. What I did have was a desire to create. My little world consisted of spiky-haired characters with over-sized shoes and laser guns. Today I still get to sketch out ideas but get to bring them to life for clients.I started Tequila Graphics in 2008 with a laptop computer and a camera body. I worked for 8 years as a photographer and production art manager for several publications before I decided to start my own business. My newspaper background has shaped my creative editorial approach to photography and design.To this day I cant believe I can call this work. I get to shoot the greatest concerts, sporting events, weddings, and also create artwork for clients across this great city. For people to allow me into their lives, to be a part of their most important days, is very rewarding to me.Along the way I have met some really great people that I can truly call friends today. I am blessed to be able to live my life-long dream as a working artist. I invite you to navigate the site so you can get a sense of what I can offer. Welcome to my little world of crazy little characters with over-sized cameras!Abel ArciniegaCreative Character (Director)
