In addition, these sheets are also used as reference or inspiration material, so their themes and styles must be very varied.

Bio JONAS JORNA
DRAFTSMAN / ILLUSTRATOR GRAPHIC PRODUCT DESIGNER
I was born in 1978, in the city of Barcelona, where I lived until I was 20 years old. I'm currently based in Asturias (northern Spain) although I have lived long periods in cities such as Madrid or Bilbao. I speak Spanish and Catalan as native languages, fluently Italian, and understand English well. As a passionate about art and design, in general, I have been fortunate to be able to collaborate in numerous graphic and artistic projects of all kinds. My works have included comic, illustration, graphic design,
editorial design, tattoo design, and in recent years I have also created branding and corporate identity, decoration of commercial spaces, and even cake design. These concerns began to awaken in me since my early childhood. I was always heavily influenced by the artistic and subversive enviroment in which I grew up, due to my father
was a comic author, cover artist and filmmaker of the “underground� age, in the faraway 70/80s. Since then, I have been conducting a mixture of formal training with an unruled autodidact learning and experimentation process of all kind of artistic doctrines, being the works showed on this document, the most relevant of them
