My Christmas Card



I’m a bit late but I just wanted to share with you the Christmas Card that I did to post on my social media sites.
Volia compartir aquest dibuix que vaig fer com a postal de Nadal per a les meves pàgines.

My illustrations on a t-shirt

As you know, I also work in my own screenprinting atelier and we have recently expanded our activities. We do screen print but only if the order is big. Due to our localization, we just get big orders about 4 or 5 times a year and all other orders are for small groups and we couldn’t compete with the prices of other ateliers, so we thought the best thing was to start working with other printing techniques. After testing the new machines we bought, here are the first results of our brand new transfer technique.

It will be nice to see how he solves a lot of problems of the books because some of the parts are really scary and dark. I fear, though, that it will be very different from the book and this is something I’m not fond o…

Building a portfolio

Here are some things I have learnt trying to build the "ultimate portfolio":


There are thousands of sites which have tutorials or advice about building your portfolio and how it has to look like and what kind of work you should put in it. I have watch infinite videos and read infinite articles and at the end, there is not a magic recipe to build a great portfolio. Here are my conclusions, I hope this can help:

- Your portfolio is nothing else than your "art resumé", this means that it has to be adapted every time you want to send an appication for a job.

- There are as many portfolios as companies or specific jobs.

- Decide first where you want to send an aplication and then research what kind of portfolios they like. Nowadays most of professional artists share their experiences and how they work and what they like in social media. Follow them.

- Your portfolio is like sharing a little bit of your persona too, not only your art. If you like crafts, make the folder…
