I was away most of last month working on a new episode for NCIS:LA titled, 'KILLHOUSE' written by Dave Kalstein. Had a great time creating the fight sets for most of this episode.

It's also one of the most action packed episodes asRafael Kayananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15664189284597919007noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368808811926921331.post-3759956502368816952012-12-24T21:29:00.001-05:002012-12-24T21:29:32.244-05:00TARS SKETCHRafael Kayananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15664189284597919007noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368808811926921331.post-61018878610448405572012-10-17T13:20:00.000-04:002012-10-17T13:20:04.199-04:00ADDED COLORRafael Kayananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15664189284597919007noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368808811926921331.post-65920519594946164612012-10-03T13:55:00.006-04:002012-12-24T21:40:24.392-05:00INSTAGRAMCheck out my Instagram page as well.
