Self Portrait

My name is Ismael Álvarez, and I was born in May 12, 1978 (I am a Taurus), in Ayamonte, a little village (although I'd rather call it BIG TOWN for its increasing population...) in Huelva, Andalucia, (Spain). I am the son of Ismael and Francisca , a couple who married young, when she was 15 and he 17. A year later I came to life, SUPERISMAEL, haha. When I was just three years old (my brother Antonio was already born), work issues made my father move to Gandesa, a little town in Tarragona, Cataluña. We spent there about two years and had to move again, this time to the capital city of Tarragona where my second brother, Eduardo was born. We spent to more years among catalans and later on went to Alcalá de Henares, in Madrid. We didn't spend a year there, as we had to get our luggage ready again to go to a nearby little town (now considered as disctrict) called Barajas. And it is here, in Barajas, that I still live. I came to Barajas when I was 11 years old, and now I am 25, so if you count well you will figure out how long I have been living here. Right now I would not change this city for any other in the world. I adore Madrid; like the saying: from Madrid to Heaven. It fascinates me, and not only because of the city in itself , although it deserves its merits, but also the special people I have met, those that right now make a part of my life. Furthermore, even though it's true that since I was very small, a pencil has never been far from my hand, it's precisely in Madrid where I have developed little my little what you know regarding my work as comic illustrator, designer and drawer. I adore the world of comic in general, the world of erotism, and why not saying it, the world of pornography, as I am one of those who think that it is art, whatever way you look at it; I don't believe that the mere act of watching how people perform sex can be considered as something DEVIANT and DIRTY, on the contrary. This is why at my web site you will see I don't beat about the bush. When it comes to illustrating I do what I want and when I want, and if you don't like it, don't look at it. Sex is beautiful, dear people, let's see it the way it is...
