A course by Dani Blázquez
His story begins as that of 9 out of 10 cartoonists: stuck to pencils since childhood. However, there was a time when Dani Blázquez was doing tricks and gambetas to the illustration, as if trying to avoid an uncomfortable traveling companion who follows you to the destination station.
In 2009 he decided to resume the drawing and try to turn it into his profession. He went to Oviedo to study Illustration and in 2012 he began to receive his first assignments. His most iconic works are those that delve into the imaginary of his childhood and adolescence.
Usually starting from memories in the form of eighties graphics, advertising, posters and, ultimately, everything that has to do with the 89 and 90: posters of movies, music, aesthetics, colors ...
Dani Blázquez cites as influences a score of names that include, among others, Martin Ansin, Gabz, Drew Struzan, Jano, Richard Amsel, Ken Taylor, Gomez Quibus, Tomer Hanuka or Mucha. But then there are those who do not cite, those springing springly from their plates. Steven Spielberg, the teenage cinema of the 80s, the now retro futurism of Ridley Scott or James Cameron and other blockbusters of those glorious times. In his proposal everything is color, popcorn and Mirindas, a constant reminder in time happy and carefree.
