Oscar Giménez is a professional illustrator who is also passionate about music and the world of graphics in general. He loves to experiment and try different techniques, which makes each of his illustrations unique.

He has worked in all areas of the profession for magazines like Rolling Stone, Playboy, and Yorokobu, publishers like Penguin and Planeta, and record companies like Universal Music. He has also worked for newspapers like El País, Expansión and Fomento, advertising agencies, promoters, and producers (Telecinco).

In recent years he has specialized in music illustration thanks to a personal project of concert illustrations compiled in the book Sold Out. During this project, he developed a taste for illustrated portraits capturing groups and musicians that also led to other commissions to illustrate all kinds of characters.

Finally, Yorokobu magazine decided to open a regular section called Rock n' Draw in which Óscar creates a musical portrait every two weeks.
His portraits are no ordinary portraits. They seek to capture the essence of the character and make a unique illustration that reflects their world.
