Alberto Vazquez

Illustrator

Duration: I became a professional illustrator and comic artist three years ago.
Staff: I work alone in my studio. Only the lonely.
Education: Fine arts in Valencia and illustration courses at Escola Massana in Barcelona.
Cultural Influences: All kinds of art, but especially comics, illustration, cinema and music. In all art, I value the personal work; I don't like one concrete genre or stereotype. For example, Osamu Tezuka, Ingmar Bergman, David Bowie and Brian Eno are artists I admire.
Environment: I work in an old house with a little garden. My window overlooks a piece of the sea and an old deserted factory. It is a quiet environment, and I love it!
Philosophy: I like the concepts in drawings to illuminate the text and not be too descriptive...but my passion is the comic and telling stories. If the labor market allowed me to, I would draw too many comic books.
