Someone thought of a title, and then a writer took it and created a 10 minute story, that was then sent to another writer that continued it as he wanted, an so on until the 12 chapters are completed. The result is an intriguing story that you can´t stop listening to, and leaves you wanting more.

Alguien pensó en un título, con el que a continuación, un escritor creó una historia de 10 minutos, que fue enviada a otro escritor que la continuó como él quiso y así hasta tener 12 capítulos. El resultado es una intrigante historia que no se puede dejar de escuchar, y te deja queriendo más.

I was contacted to create the image for this audiobook project (maybe more similar to a radio-play) that you can to donwload online for free here.
Me contactaron para crear la imagen de este audio-libro (tal vez más similar a un Teatro Radiofónico), y se puede descargar gratis aquí.

You will spot some differences between the drawing and the final, they actually thought some of the students looked "private school", so they suggested incorporating some mohawks, and mullets... So my question is, are mullets back in school?
 Encontraréis diferencias entre el dibujo a lápiz y el final, pensaron que algunos de los estudiantes parecían de "colegio privado", así que me sugirieron incorporar alguna cresta, greñas, cabezas afeitadas... y yo pensaba que lo de las crestas era agua pasada...

I never read any of his books and the article made me really curious about his work, so I got "Kafka on the shore" and I cant stop reading it. No había leido nunca un libro suyo y el artículo despertó mi curiosidad por su trabajo, así que me compre "Kafka en la orilla" y no puedo parar de leerlo. ilustracion paste magazine

I incorporated elements from Murakami's life, like the records, baseballs, the cat, etc...
I am really happy how it turned out, and is allways great working with Jose Reyes. Incorporé elementos de la vida de Murakami, como los discos, pelotas de baseball, el gato, etc...

The Article talked about how he recorded his last album in between Cadiz (South Spain) and California, and how that was the farthest he has taken his music. Recibí una llamada de la revista Ragazza para ilustrar un artículo sobre Antonio Orozco. El artículo hablaba sobre como grabó su último disco entre Cádiz y California, y como fue allí lo más lejos donde había llevado su musica. orozco dibujo

I combined that idea with the title of the magazine "Apis Mellifera" (Honey bee). Thought it would be cool to have a big bee hive and make all those workers fly out of it. Combiné esa idea con el título de la revista "Apis Mellifera" (Abeja).

I had total freedom, the only requirement was that it had to reflect the themes of the songs in the album. Pretty simple requirements i thought, so i started listening to the songs and one in particular caught my attention. After making all those promotional Cd covers, they contacted me to illustrate one.

The song was called "Why Now" and talks about someone that goes away. Well, i got that idea and combined it with the album title "The All Day Dreamer´s LP".

Its an illustration of a Spanish Punk band. Their base player uses orange socks as a lucky charm in every concert, so my guess was that when they go on tour he has to wash them every single day, or at least I hope so.

As you can see i moved them around a little for the final illustration, and colored over the pencils digitally.

After finishing the acrylic painting, I wanted to incorporate the type digitally, but I found it hard to decide from this two options I ended up with. Finally, I decided to go with the one on the right. Check out how it turned out on my portfolio. Does anyone prefer the one on the left?
