Time to move out

I haven't been writing opinion in English lately, so this blog has little by little become outdated. The only stuff I go on writing in or translating to this language is comics. But since you can find them in my comics gallery, there's no point in maintaining this blog active. At least for the time being. So here's where you can find my stuff from now on:

See you soon!

The Visit (comic)

After some time, we're finally back with Antonio HG. This time, bringing a simple but intriguing story. It is, perhaps, the script I enjoyed writing the most last year, the starting point being a phrase supposedly attributed to Einstein, in which the physicist hypothesised about the origin of the ETs that crowded people's imagination during the 20th century. I'm leaving here a couple of preliminary drafts by Antonio, and some links to the finished work. Enjoy it!

Seco: Book One-Chapter I (comic)

Well, we've finally finished and wrapped up for present the first issue of  Seco, the webcomic we have been working on with Pedro Lobato during the last year. It's been hard work for almost ten months, but we've learned a lot during the process. Working on a webcomic is no doubt the most difficult thing I've done, since you're pressed by weekly deadlines and can't go back if you spot visual or narrative mistakes once that each page is published. But hell it's been fun! You can download this first issue as a pdf or cbr file. Or read it on Seco's blog. Enjoy it!

Got bougth for CLiNT--wow!

Mark Millar is among the most successful comic writers of the last decade. He's doing so well that he's even launched his own comic magazine in the UK --CLiNT. And he's been looking for 'new talents' in his website. Yes, I'm not new, not even a talent, but I gave it a try. And you know what? He's buying me! (Yep, it doesn't sound much honorable but... who cares?). Don't know yet what he wants from my stuff, or if anything would end up published in the end. But I'm surely happy with this pick, you know.

Another neck (comic)

When Antonio HG came to me with the idea of a metaphorical vampire story, I must admit I accepted somewhat reluctantly. My love for vampires is almost inexistent. But nevertheless we took our time to discuss possible variations until we finally hit upon the interesting scheme of this comic. Let me just clarify one thing. Don’t blame me for the vampire’s face (it was, really, an imposition on the part of the artist -who had to pay back kindness with ‘The last wait,’ by the way). Anyway, any resemblance with reality is nothing but a coincidence:

The last wait (comic)

With Antonio HG we underwent now two pages with the end of the world as a topic. This is the first one, already published in Revista Exégesis. Needless to draw your attention on Antonio's astounding first panel. It speaks on its own. So I hope you can enjoy the rest as well:

Beowulf (cartoons)

I've got the embarrassing habit of sending cartoons together with my instructions to assignments for the TTC. This is why I've been looking for nice cartoons on Beowulf for the last three years. No wonder I haven't found much. Problem is I also have the embarrassing habit of writing comics and cartoons. Greater problems is that all this moved me to make the no less embarrassing decision of writing my own cartoons on Beowulf. No doubt this sure is a problem, right? Well, I admit I haven't achieved much really, but in any case, I had fun in doing this. My apologies in advance to all of you.
