Born in a rainy city on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, El Primo Ramon spent several years studying at a College of Architecture and, later, completed a Phd in Graphical Expression; most importantly, though, he never stopped sketching doodles in the margins. After over five years working as an architect and graphic designer for a variety of magazines and companies, he began publishing cartoons, illustrations and articles. The next step, and perhaps the most rewarding, was to publish an illustrated book for children.
El Primo shares a studio and explores ideas with his girlfriend in the same town in which he grew up and, every day - between cups of coffee, fish, chips and some book-reading - they search for new techniques to test and new stories to tell.
