I'm a passionate illustrator and designer living in Murcia, Spain. I work as a draftsman with a focus on comics, and I draw posters, urban art (murals), cartoons, and commissions for newspapers and private clients. I have published colouring art-books inspired by the Inktober challenge. Drawing has fueled my life since childhood, and I combine pencil work with digital tools (Procreate, Photoshop, Clip Studio) on an iPad with Wacom or XPPen tablets. Although most of my career has been in programming and graphics design, a few years ago I pivoted toward drawing full-time. I earned an Illustration degree at the Art High School of Murcia and attended courses with Marvel artists such as Daniel Acuña, Alitha Martinez, Carlos Pacheco, and Salva Spin. I enjoy videogames, which helps me stay current with the industry, and I have some experience in game development using sprites and GW-Basic. I am hardworking, imaginative, and team-oriented, and I would love the opportunity to contribute to your company.

    paper FUN ART

    As a personal line of work, I create pieces that I define as “fun-art.” This refers to a more playful (fun) version of classic fan art (works based on characters from hugely popular universes such as Star Wars, Marvel, etc.), using visual rhetoric and graphic humor to produce more mature compositions.
