Pablo – aka Pintachan – has been an illustrator for over a decade and does work for some of the biggest media brands both in Spain and around the world. Born in Seville, he’s lived in Madrid and Barcelona, but today enjoys a quieter life in the Northern town of Gijón, where he lives with his family.
Pintachan’s illustration career is the very successful bi-product of a t-shirt company he launched in the early 2000s. They had everything they needed except the money to pay an illustrator, so he decided to do it himself. It was really a natural extension of all the drawing and making he did as a child. Inspired by comics, illustrated books and animations, the young Pablo was constantly making badges and buttons to wear featuring his favourite characters.
Today, he fuels his imagination by collecting things – old album covers, 60s magazines, anything adorned with 50s illustrations and more. He loves doo-wop, psych-pop, 70s disco, 50s rock n roll and Motown, and is up to date with contemporary children’s animation thanks to his two kids.
