I must have been about eight years old when the shopkeeper on the corner gave me the first freelance commission of my career: to draw his wife. When she saw the drawing she burst out laughing: "He's painted all my wrinkles!" Even so, those clients were very happy.

Since then I've kept on drawing and designing in my studio in Murcia (Spain), where I share raising my children with creating illustrations, editorial design and comics, a medium I adore. If you've already visited my portfolio, you'll have seen that my illustration style is minimalist and synthetic, based on simple colors and sometimes inspired by the clear line of comics. If I can, I usually include some humor in my creations, because humor is one of the best ways to communicate a message (as long as we're not talking about taxes).

From time to time I give talks at art schools and high schools, where I teach the new generations the ins and outs of the profession. For the little ones I've created workshops where they have a great time stimulating their creativity and exploring the world of comics to learn how to communicate visually (ages 5 and up).

Don't waste your precious time on social media, and even less on following me, but if you're really bored and have nothing better to do, here are a couple of them that I try to use as little as possible: linkedin and instagram.

Thanks for reading.
