The Folio Society
In its first sortie into western genre, The Folio Society commissioned me to illustrate Charles Portis' True Grit. In an exercise of nostalgia, I tried to depict those vast landscapes, ruthless bandits and the strength and bravery of main characters in this beautiful edition. I created the binding illustration, the slipcase and 6 colour illustrations, including 2 double-page spreads and a black & white frontispiece for the insides. The edition is bound in printed and blocked cloth with a blocked slipcase in gold metallic ink. Here you can see some of the illustrations.
Fourteen-year-old Mattie Ross wants to avenge her murdered father, but she can’t pull in the fugitive killer on her own, so she asks around town for the meanest gun for hire. A one-eyed US Marshall with a taste for whiskey and a trigger-happy approach to law enforcement, Rooster Cogburn, is happy to take her money. But there’s a catch: there’s an outstanding warrant on the killer, and debonair Texas Ranger LaBoeuf is hell-bent on claiming it ... so, he’s packing his saddlebags and joining the search party.

“An Odd, Almost Senseless Series of Events”
Every law student knows John Brady’s name. But few know the story of the bumbling murder that ended in a landmark legal ruling.
"In early June 1958, 25-year-old John Leo Brady was in love. He was also in some trouble. His sweetheart, Nancy Boblit McGowan, had just told him she was pregnant, and he was the father. But she was only 19, married to another man. And Brady was broke." In 1958, Brady decided to stick up a bank to fund a new life. It ended with a murder, a Supreme Court case, and the formation of the Brady rule.
The story behind the landmark legal ruling is written by Thomas L. Dybdahl, with illustrations by yours truly and commissioned by The Marshall Project, a nonprofit news organization covering the U.S. criminal justice system.

Opening illustration concerning the controversial subject of Artificial Intelligence. When and how should robots reject human commands for our own sake? A Must-read feature on Scientific American magazine on January, 2017 issue.
Why Robots Must Learn to Tell Us “No”
Don’t worry about disobedient machines. Devious human masters and misunderstood commands are the real threat
By Gordon Briggs, Matthias Scheutz
HAL 9000, the sentient computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey, offers an ominous glimpse of a future in which machines endowed with artificial intelligence reject human authority. After taking control of a spacecraft and killing most of the crew, HAL responds to a returning astronaut’s order to open the ship’s pod bay door in an eerily calm voice: “I’m sorry, Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.” In the recent science-fiction thriller Ex Machina, the seductive humanoid Ava tricks a hapless young man into helping her destroy her creator, Nathan. Her machinations lend credence to Nathan’s dark prediction: “One day the AIs are going to look back on us the same way we look at fossil skeletons on the plains of Africa. An upright ape living in dust with crude language and tools, all set for extinction.”
Bottleneck Gallery / Warner Bros TM
Officially licensed poster for one of the most incredibly powerful movies ever made. The rawness, contrast and beauty of Stanley Kubrick's pictures together with the brutal exhibition and imagination of the ultra-violence portrayed in Anthony Burgess' original book with the same title, made this film a unique trip to the subconscious of our society.
During the poster process, I tried different approaches, some sketches were discarded and some others rejected. Very hard to do justice to one of my favorite films.

I was really in awe to see how my drawings have dressed walls, banners, badges and tees of the very first big festival I've ever been to and I'm so grateful of how the Viñarock team has trusted in me twice.
Some of the photos from the gigs and merch are borrowed from the official site and some other are from mates' reports like Carmenzita Ortega, Lorena Pérez García, Iván Fonrodona Palomé y Victoria Moyano.

Auto Union Type-C (Nürburgring 1936), Streamline (Avus Rennen) 1937, Audi Quattro (Rallye Sanremo 1981), Audi Quattro (Trans American 1988), Audi R8 (Le Mans 2000), A5 (DTM Hockenheimring 2004), Audi R18 (24h Le Mans 2014) and finally launching the new Audi R8 2015.
Cover illustration and interior I had the pleasure to do for the last issue of July's Barron's magazine. The story: Robo Rising. An exclusive ranking of robo-advisors, from performance to technology.
We’re almost a decade into the robo-revolution. Story by Alex Eule.
"In 2010, Betterment unveiled its automated investing service––within a few years, “robo-advisors” were threatening to upend financial services the same way that Amazon undid retail. Sophisticated algorithms, the promise went, could provide customized portfolios to the masses, at a quarter of the price charged by human advisors. Today, all of the asset managers, banks, and brokerages are at least working on some form of a robo, and many have already started their own."

Art Direction Zack Bickel
I was commissioned to do a dual portrait of two well-known American icons: John Wayne and John Ford. In their creative partnership, “the two men succeeded in defining an ideal of American masculinity that dominated for nearly half a century,” Nancy Schoenberger writes in Wayne and Ford: The Films, the Friendship, and the Forging of an American Hero. The illustration accompanies the essay written by Stephen Metcalf in the December 2017 issue of The Atlantic. Thanks to Zak Bickel for the fantastic art direction here.
Inventing John Wayne
The actor’s persona was inextricable from the toxic culture of Cold War machismo. He was the apotheosis of a Cold War type—unsentimental, hard, brutal if necessary, proudly anachronistic, a rebuke to the softness of postwar affluence. He was turning, in other words, from an artist into a political symbol. “Unlike Ford,” Schoenberger says, “he ended up making propaganda, not art.”

The New Republic / Art Direction by Annie Jen
Editorial illustration for The New Republic magazine -100 special anniversary issue- printed on December 2014. This piece was displayed as part of a book review by Cynthia Ozick.
THE TEST OF THE NOVEL - History, imagination, and Auschwitz.
Cynthia Ozick talks about the book The Zone of Interest, Martin Amis's provocatively titled fourteenth novel. Being a fictional novel, it holds historical truth of what happened during the WW2, through the contrast of love affairs and casual comedy moments among the German authorities and the daily death that happened in a Nazi camp. But the story is less about love than it is about the death of the collective souls of virtually everyone involved: "The malefactors, the collaborators, the witnesses, the conspirators, the outright martyrs...and even the minor obstructors. We all discovered, or helplessly revealed, who we were."
