Yesterday I enjoyed giving a little talk in my beloved Escuela de Arte de Murcia together with Gonzalo Mart. Moreno, Analia Paterna, Julia Puche and Carmen Martínez, wonderful illustrators from whom I learned a lot. Many thanks to Helena and Pablo, as well as all the students who attended, it was a pleasure to be there.

Last Friday I went to my son's school to give a comic workshop to the primary school children and a drawing workshop to the infants. It was a wonderful day surrounded by great little artists who taught me more than I taught them. I had a great time. Thanks to all the school staff for making it so easy.

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.
Read moreI 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.
