Graphic recording at Malta

Last May I joined the Picturise team for the graphic recording of the 2025 European Youth Work Convention. The 4th European Youth Work Convention took place in May 2025 in Malta. Organised with the support of the Partnership between the European Commission, Council of Europe, Agenzija Zghazagh and EUPA in the field of youth, under the theme “Youth Work Xcelerate”, it promoted youth work as a key tool for empowering young people, fostering inclusion, and encouraging active participation.

It was an unforgettable experience in Malta with my dear colleagues and friends.

Last December I participated in the graphic recording at this great event, “Towards Collaborative Practice” TCP Forum on youth employability, social entrepreneurship and intercultural & inclusive societies, designing also the logotype. Together with Renata we also did the graphics for the different workshops and presentations. It was a nice experience surrounded by great and intelligent people where I learned a lot.

Graphic communication at school

Yesterday I was at the Ntra. Señora de Atocha school doing a workshop on graphic communication and character creation for the primary school children. We talked about how to make a character that communicates our ideas with a few lines, a bit of detective skills and a bit of theatre. As always, I learned more than I taught.

Special Comic Book Day with Javier Mariscal

Javier Mariscal and Pedro Meca at the Comic Library of the BRMU (Murcia)

Last March 15 I was in the Comicteca space of the Regional Library of Murcia presenting the master Mariscal. Together with the public we celebrated the day of the comic talking about his latest animated film with Fernando Trueba and many other topics. I learned so many things! Thank you maestro for sharing everything with such naturalness.

“I love jazz” exhibition opening concert

Last Friday we inaugurated my exhibition of illustrations "I love jazz" at the Regional Library of Murcia, which will run until June 2022.

While the trio of musicians "Limón Jazz" played tributes to some of the musicians in the illustrations of the exhibition, I was drawing them live.

We listened to all these songs.

I also explained my process of creation from a pencil sketch and the completion of the drawing in Adobe Illustrator, at the end there was a round of questions. You can see the video of the recording here.

It was an unforgettable evening surrounded by friends. My thanks to Vicente Funes, from the Regional Library, who came up with the idea of the exhibition, to Andrés Santos for organising the Limón jazz, to Carmen Climént and Jesús Gea for coming to the call and to all my family and friends who came to support me that day.

You can see the illustrations in this web clicking here.

First prize in the Lorenzo Goñi graphic humour competition 2020

I am very happy because I have been awarded the first prize in the Lorenzo Goñi graphic humour competition, this year with the theme "La España vaciada" (Empty Spain). For me it is a privilege and an honour. With things being as they are at this time of year it will be more difficult to get to know the town and the person behind it all, Fernando Garcia Garreta, but we will try. A big hug to all the organisation and congratulations to the other winners.

Coverage? Go to church | Is there coverage there? No, but they can pray to Saint Francis and also ask him for a health centre and a road without potholes.
