"a walk in a dream" new photobook /
I'm proud to announce my new photobook, a walk in a dream.
This is a walk driven by the pursuit of intimate beauty, trying to discover surprising shapes in hidden corners of the garden. The game between focus and depth of field turns backgrounds into unexpected geometric patterns dancing in dreamlike atmospheres. The walk through the garden becomes a walk in a dream.

New portrait: Nazario, the one and only. /
I recently did a portrait of Nazario, one of the great comic artists from the underground years in Barcelona. I know him since the old days, when I was doing the publishing production and layout design at el Víbora, the main comic magazine in Spain during the 80’s.
Nazario Luque Vera (Castilleja del Campo, province of Seville, January 3, 1944), known as Nazario, as he signs his work, is a Spanish cartoonist and painter, considered the father of the Spanish underground comic, and one of the most highlights of the gay comic, along with Tom from Finland and Ralf König. Countercultural artist by antonomasia and key piece of the Barcelona movida of the seventies and eighties, portrays the basics of a Barcelona scoundrel in Anarcoma, his most popular series.
