Description: When Blanca and Arturo heard someone reading my stories and proposed me to illustrate some, the surprise was pleasant. When I saw their work as drawers, the surprise was great. The illustrations suggested a lot of ways, their characters winked at me and I proposed to them to make a history of their drawings.
The initial idea was to make a story-picture, combining illustrations and micro-stories, and finally, in a cave on the island of La Gomera, twelve stories were born from twelve drawings, arranged as they were written. It was a great pleasure to immerse in these fantastic worlds, to become intimate with the lovely characters and to let the stories create themselves. Thank you for inviting us to dream. - José Arias "Pepín"
