Juanjo Sáez

Juanjo Sáez (Barcelona, 1972) is an illustrator and comic book artist. He made his first forays from the neighbourhood of La Sagrera into the centre of the action and of Barcelona with fanzines such as Círculo primigenio, and since then Sáez has taken his provocative cartoons to all the country’s major newspapers (and taken a beating for it). All his stories bear the mark of experience, such as the republished El Arte. Conversaciones imaginarias con mi madre (Mondadori, 2006), Yo. Otro libro egocéntrico (Mondadori, 2010) and his first TV animation series, Arròs covat, which won the Ondas 2010 Prize.
