Diseñador gráfico, ilustrador

My name is David Figuer and I am a creative freelance graphic designer and illustrator from Oviedo, Asturias, Spain. I am also a graduate of the College of Art of the Principality of Asturias (ESAPA) with a degree in Graphic Design.

Illustration and design have been my passion since I was a child, and that is what breathes life into my work right down to the last detail. As a consequence, you will enjoy high-quality, full service that is geared toward your particular needs.

My projects are characterized by a fresh, modern and creative style. I perform a large variety of services in the areas of illustration and graphic design. In addition to logo and icon design, my specialty is bringing alive all sorts of fun, cheerful creatures and cartoon characters in an endless number of situations.

My first contact with the world of graphic design was very long ago. I was only five when I sat down to check out my father’s 386 computer, which was new at that time. My original dream was to be a pilot, but instead of making paper airplanes, I set about playing with clip-art images of aircraft and planes in CorelDraw 3.

Over time, Dragon Ball and Super Mario were responsible for transforming my dream of aviation into a new dream. A large part of my childhood and adolescence was devoted to drawing comics and illustrations of my favorite characters from drawings and video games.

At age 22, I graduated from the College of Art of the Principality of Asturias (ESAPA) with a major in Graphic Design. Before I finished, I already had a job as a designer and illustrator for a large game export company. At the same time, I began taking on freelance design and illustration projects for microstock agencies.

During those years, I learned an infinite number of things and acquired vast experience, while my passion for design and illustration only grew stronger. It was then that I realized that the time had come to take the next step, to dive in to what would be my most ambitious project yet: my own design and illustration studio, TheToonPlanet.
