Book Description
A selection of dreamlike illustrations inhabited by warm characters for which short stories are created. The illustrators then draw new images inspired by the written stories. A year later, the Anexus is published, where some of the texts are interwoven. It contains 30 original illustrations and the themes dealt with dance around music, dreams and ecology. This book has had a long and original process of creation. It was born with Blanca and Arturo's illustrations, some of which are several years old. When the storyteller Pepín contemplates them, he has the idea of creating a short story for each one of them. To do this, it is necessary to immerse oneself in these worlds and become intimate with the characters so that they can tell us their names and other aspects of their lives. Slowly, unconnected details emerge until, finally, they fit together and a short story is born. For the layout, the illustrators create front and back covers and new images, some inspired by the written stories. Finally, a year later, when there is already trust, two characters ask Pepín to continue their story and the Anexus is born: a text where some of these stories are intertwined. This book - or graphic novel? - contains 32 original illustrations and the themes dealt with dance around music, dreams and ecology. We invite you to browse through these images calmly and, before reading the texts, to imagine your own stories. Thank you!
