What do you prefer to do when you get home every evening: maths homework or drawing? I was finishing High School, I had to decide between the Bachelor of Science or the Bachelor of Arts and my sister asked me that to see if I could make up my mind. I had no doubts.
Years later I studied Illustration in Madrid and since then I’ve been illustrating books. Before that I had a degree in Audiovisual Communication, so I tell myself that illustration is communicating with images. In 2018 I illustrated and wrote Enorme suciedad.
As for that temptation for science, all that remains is my addiction to lists:
