Working on a story where the past feels half-lit, half-remembered. Rooted in real places. Told in fragments—books, drawings, long talks, and the shape of a hill. #illustration #folklore #irishhistory #myth #medieval #artinprogress #quietwork

Still loads of snow. Well froze two days ago. How do people in colder places manage? #illustration #wintermorning #penandink #watercolours

It's that time again. So before everyone is gone, let me wish you a great end of the year. 2024 was great but 2025 is going to be amazing, just watch! Happy Christmas everyone and thanks for checking my work out. See you at the other side! #illustration #alternativemovieposter #digitalillustration

The poster I recently made for José Ignacio Lapido was one of those pieces of work that come directly from the heart. Following that same path and hearing all those people who asked to get one, José Ignacio has decided to generously share it with everyone attending the 25th Anniversary #gigposter

The response lat week for #Lapido 's poster was overwhelming. While we work on the printed version of the poster, you can carry it around with you in your mobile phone. Enjoy!
