Xuasus' chunky, fully painted style was admired by David Bishop, editor of the Judge Dredd Megazine, in the early 1990s, and the artist was commissioned to work on a number of well-known characters, including Judge Dredd, Judge Anderson, Judge Hershey and the Brit-Cit Brute. Xuasus has also contributed to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Victor titles.
His latest contribution is the "Waccy Baccy Races" series for the magazine Wasted in collaboration with Alan Grant. He now combines his work in comics with film projects.
His most recent work is as a matte painter of the cities of Jerusalem and the Castle of Kerak on Kingdom of Heaven. He also created the virtual Waterfall City for Dinotopia and was a matte painter on Troy, Rome and Harry Potter II. Rumours have persisted of him being 'difficult' to work with and there have been accusations of him passing off other peoples work as his own and not recognising a team effort in taking credit on film projects. He now works in Canada as a matte painter.
