I work as a freelance director because I was a bad student. As a Kid my dream was to become a comic book artist. My Idols were Tintin and Lieutenant Blueberry. I spent many hours surrounded by color markers drawing comics with space ships, warrior girls and soldiers on suicide missions.
I think at the age of ten I already wanted to study arts and become the Spanish Moebius. The problem was that to get to college I had to finish high school first and study horrible death-boring subjects.
