In some alien planet, someone just had a baby. As they wait for the baby to be able to get out of the incubator, they tell stories. Waiting is the only way for time to pass. Back on earth, everybody suddenly remembers some old TV ad for cookies.

Here’s the first pages. The rest, for now, paper only. Buy it from the store.

Earlier this year I took an Intro to Risograph (with Wren McDonald, lots of fun, strongly recommend it)… At some point I started to print some panels from my comics and I liked the results.

Not sure print making is my calling, but the process helped me unlock a new way of thinking about color for my work.

Another cartoonist (not me) finds himself in a creative rut and, once again, turns to mining his own life for material. “Write about what you know”, they say. What I know is alien babies.

Here’s the first pages of the comic. The rest, for now, paper only. Buy it from the store.

Nobody in town knows how that horse head got there. A stranded space explorer makes up his own one sided epistolary novel.

Here’s the first pages for each story. The rest, for now, is paper only. Buy it from the store.

A collection of intensely calm music.

I wrote and recorded these songs, mostly by myself, throughout the years 2020 and 2021. I started going to a studio, once a week, after work, just to play around. Slowly and to my surprise, these songs emerged. The room was big and lost somewhere inside an old factory building. Some of that atmosphere might have found its way to the sounds.

Autobiógrafo is the comic that narrates the real lives, possible and impossible, of it’s two protagonists and authors: Fran López and Federico Reggiani.
Autobiógrafo was published over fifteen years in the website Historietas Reales, and today has come to an end. (Whenever today is).

These six electronic books compile all of the published pages. The adventure begins for you.

Bon voyage!

(These are only in Spanish for now, sorry. Any publisher operating in the anglosphere would be smart to reach out to see if we can correct that.)

(And here’s a series of videos discussing each book.)

I: El perro Argos

II: El enano y el ciempiés

Un ciempiés autoreplicante y un enano filosófico analizan qué diferencia hay entre la serie y lo único, entre el amor y la indiferencia. La conversación los lleva a contar la vida de López y Reggiani. Hacia la mitad del libro es difícil saber qué es la realidad, pero tampoco importa demasiado.

Una historieta que consiste en mostrar cómo sus autores mueren en cada página. Un ejercicio de imaginativa depresión.
