Fernando: artistic studies. I did many workshops with various artists for many years, some very classic and other more innovative or related informal illustration. I was fortunate to take courses with which for me are some of my favorite artists and I admire like Carlos Nine, Hermenegildo Sabat and Guillermo Roux. I also graduated from the Visual Communication course at the University of Belgrano in Buenos Aires, helped me to complete some more theoretical knowledge relating to communication.

Fernando: My latest book: The amazing journey to the planet Dulce. (Thule editions). Jose Diaz, the editor called me one day and said he had seen some of my work and wanted to do a book. He asked me to submit an idea and then signed a contract. He gave me full freedom to work and promised to publish without having seen almost nothing of the final material and that is very rare in the publishing world. Besides the character of the book is one of my children and we were doing the book together.
