Joseba Elorza
A course by Joseba Elorza
Joseba Elorza studied to become a sound technician, and after a few lackluster years in art school, MiraRuido was born. His mind-bending project emerged out of a collision between his two passions; he used to spend his mornings surrounded by sound at a radio station and long nights creating collages. Little by little, the visual side tuned out the audio and transformed into a lifestyle.
His illustrations have been featured in magazines like Esquire, New Scientist, and the Wall Street Journal. He has also created animations for clients such as National Geographic and Amazon, and music videos for bands like Green Day, Berri Txarrak, and more.
