Jorge is a designer and illustrator who began drawing as soon as he could hold a pencil, and hasn't stopped since! Inspired by a weird mix of elements, such as 90s cartoons, comics, mid-century design and street photography, he works both traditionally and digitally for both publishing and a wide range of commercial projects. His work is character-based, colourful, whimsical, and always tells a story. When he is not drawing or designing, he can be found lost in a bookshop buying more books to read, sketching people in coffee shops, or trying to befriend each cat he finds! Jorge lives in Spain.
