Today we’d like to introduce you to Lobulo.
Lobulo, we’d love to hear your story and how you got to where you are today both personally and as an artist.
I realised what I wanted to be when I grew up, while shopping with my mother at the supermarket. I would always make her pick the cereals for the picture on the cover, rather than for what was actually inside. Naturally, I ended up studying graphic design and marketing, learning that there’s much more to a computer than just playing pacman.
A variety of unique, creative collaborations, as well as more than ten years’ experience of working for various graphic design and marketing studios in Barcelona, have meant that I have filled the streets, and a few hard disks, with my designs, illustrations, editorial projects and concepts. Small or large, formal or informal, but always expressing emotions. Always sending out a message.
We’d love to hear more about your art. What do you do you do and why and what do you hope others will take away from your work?
It’s hard to describe your own work that’s why I’m going to use nice words from what people says about me. Patience is a virtue I never really learned – people dawdling at self-service ticket machines is the quickest-fire way to make my blood boil – so I’m all the more wowed by anyone who can boast it by the bucketload.
Lobulo Design, split between London and Barcelona, got a lot of viral attention for his paper-cut Darth-Vader-as-a-saint illustration and he’s just updated his website with some mighty impressive new stuff but the most eye-catching new piece is a tremendous book cover for Don Quijote as part of the 100 book covers to fight illiteracy campaign. A glorious abstract, technicolour piece that is a fitting accompaniment to such an iconic work and a nifty (yeah, I said nifty) making-of video to boot.
How can artists connect with other artists?
It’s a real fact, sometimes it can be very hard but the best tip is trying to collaborate with another artists, always nice to improve your own work and have different points of view.
Do you have any events or exhibitions coming up? Where would one go to see more of your work? How can people support you and your artwork?
