His animation portfolio available for viewing publicly on Vimeo.  In addition to his illustrative work, Romero is the creator of Corpse Planet.

Romero says, “I’ve always had an affection for the arts, especially since I grew up watching animated films likeSecret of Nimh and Nightmare Before Christmas.

“When I had moved to Philadelphia to study at University of the Arts, I had actually wanted to major in film. But I soon realized that I could express my ideas more freely in animation, so I settled on making that my major. I had always wanted to merge the animation medium with the horror genre, since both carried a lot of potential and not too many examples existed of the two being blended in an effective way.

“Since graduating UArts, I got to work making animated horror shorts that I could submit over to festivals to get a feel of the process. During this time, I took up some freelance illustrating to practice on my storytelling for personal projects. I’ve been experimenting ever since, mixing mediums for my shorts and illustrations and am currently working on my Instagram horror story, noc_ternal.”
