Kim Amate
In 1974, Terrassa was a grey, industrial and depressed city. I was born there. At that time, in addition, TV shows were in black and white and that was a good thing, because I was more attracted to the bugs and the books that were in the house... Later as an adult (?), bored between advertising and graphic arts I found in illustration a way of doing my best entertaining and explaining stories to children living in cities not so depressed, with many bright screens and almost no bugs to observe but with a curiosity that keeps returning me to my own childhood.
