Javier Andrada Guerrero (Zamora, 1972). From a young age I liked two things very, very much: painting and books. Since I didn’t do very well at school, I spent as many hours as possible drawing and reading. I didn’t yet know that there was a profession where I could practise those two activities. Fortunately, I discovered the School of Applied Arts and Artistic Crafts in León, where I studied for two years, and in 1993 I moved to Barcelona to specialise in Illustration. Now I have the great fortune of working in that profession, spending hours and hours painting and drawing, reading and writing, creating on paper.
