I am a creator of comics, prints, illustrations and graphic novels, all bursting with magical moments and vivid imagery. Inspired by Winsor McCay’s ‘Little Nemo’ and ‘Alice in Wonderland’, my elaborately twisted tales of surreal worlds are hauntingly inhabited by outlandish creations. I have always drawn and created magical characters and stories. After a successful career as a jazz tap dancer, singer and choreographer, I re-opened my inkpots and created an abundance of stories full of magic, surreal dream scenes and fairy tale themes

Born in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, Spain, June 5 1898; died near Granada, August 19 1936, García Lorca is one of Spain's most deeply appreciated and highly revered poets and dramatists. His murder by the Nationalists at the start of the Spanish civil war brought sudden international fame, accompanied by an excess of political rhetoric which led a later generation to question his merits; after the inevitable slump, his reputation has recovered (largely with a shift in interest to the less obvious works). He must now be bracketed with Machado as one of the two greatest poets Spain has produced in the 20th century, and he is certainly Spain's greatest dramatist since the Golden Age.
