Hi there

I know, I know, I completely dissapeared lately. Sorry, I know I have a lot of messages to answer, a lot of comments to check,... but I don't have time anymore to be around as I would like. I'm currently working hard on the third volume of
Forgotten, and if everything goes as planned it will be finished on early 2010. Till then, I will be very busy working, so I will not be around a lot. I will keep uploading paintings from time to time (I have a lot of artworks on my computer waiting to be uploaded

), but I'm afraid I will not can answer most of your messages. So if you have something very important to tell me, please send me a note.
I have been on holidays last month of august (the first 10 free days I had in more than 10 months!!!

) and I went to London. A great experience, far better than I though

. You can expect some photographs of my travel in the next weeks. I'm planning to go again to Scotland at the end of the month too, I miss my Scotland so much

.
For all of you who want to know about my works, art in process, events in which I will be present, publications and other issues, I highly recommend you to visit my
Blog. I will keep it updated a lot more than this blog in DA, and you can find everything there

This is the month of the books

. I wanna show you two books in which I collaborated this year.
The first is the novel
"Ecos de Azurëa vol. 1: El cementerio de torres" (could be translated as "Azurëa Echos vol. 1: The Towers' Cemetery"), a fantasy book written by
Manuel F. Bueno and published in Spain by
Mundos Epicos Editorial. I was commissioned to paint the artwork for the cover, that you can see below. The book is the first of a colecction with a very interesting story about unusual heroes, fantasy beings and mystical places. It's only in spanish for the moment.

"La mujer en la sombra: lo femenino en el cine fantástico y de terror" (could be translated as "The woman in the shadow: the paper of the woman in fantastic and horror cinema"), and is one of the books published this year by the
X International Week of Fantastic and Horror Cinema of Estepona (Málaga - Spain), a festival of cinema that will take place from 7 to 12 of september 2009. For this book I did the cover art (that I uploaded to the gallery, you can check it
here), all the design of the covering
-check here- and I also wrote an horror short story titled
"The cuckoo clock". The book is only in spanish.

During the Festival there will be two presentations of the book in which I will be present. There will be free copies of the book for the people at the presentations:
- 11th september 2009 - 20:30 h. Palacio de Exposiciones y Congresos de Estepona.
