Here's a recent portrait of Benjamin Franklin created for Readers Digest.
Based on excerpt of a book called 'Ben and I' in which the author tries to live his modern life based on Franklin's virtues.

Here's a little bird just created for the Spanish glue company Pritt (Henkel ES).
It forms part of a large project, designed by P.A.U Education called Educar, Pegar, Volar. (Educate, Glue, Fly), a Portal where school teachers can share everything about their art projects.
Pritt is sponsoring the Portal.
My involvement in the project is also conducting workshops for teachers in different Spanish cities and writing a guest column in their Blog.

A couple of years ago, my amigote, the great Barcelona illustrator Miguel Gallardo, published a comics book called Maria y Yo (Maria and I) about his lovely autistic daughter Maria. The book is wonderfully effective: funny, touching and enlightening and received great praise in Spain, as well as the Catalan National Prize for Comics (in Spain and Catalunya they love giving prizes!).
The book was now made into a no less great documentary film by Felix Fernandez de Castro which opened last week.
Below are some pages from the book, a link to it, as well as the trailer for the film. No English subtitles anywhere but you will get the feel of it.

A big part of the movie and book centers on the contrast between Maria and the so called  "normal" tourists in a resort in the Gran Canaria Island.

UPDATE:
It turns out Miguel has some pages translated to English. Here there are!
