About me

Oviedo, Spain. April 20th, 1979

Education

My training has been practically self-taught. Everything that has interested me since I was a child: comics, cinema, television, books, music, etc … has ended up influencing in one way or another in my way of drawing or telling stories as a comic author.
I currently work as a freelance illustrator.

I’ve drawn and wrote comic for several years now. At first my works were published in some free magazines and fanzines.

Eventually I begun to develop my work to other levels. Firstable at local magazines ( El Revistín, El Gomeru, AGE).

I’ve also worked for CTA (Consorcio de Transportes del Principado de Asturias) with a short comic distributed in local press.
