HUMANIMALS.
An urban bestiary
 
Sfhir (ilustration) and Almudena Ventura (text)
 
Humanimals. An urban bestiary proposes an ironic and dogmatic revision of the bestiaries that over the centuries have portrayed hybrid creatures that are the product of human creativity. The fascination that the human being has felt towards the beast man over the centuries is reflected in the collective imagination. The works play at creating a postmodern mythology in which chimerical beings contemplate us with the realism with which nightmares are impregnated.
Since time immemorial, the animal has intrigued and amazed men and women, and the fascination towards hybridization with the beast has been re ected in the collective imagination through compendia that became very popular in the Middle Ages, although its origin dates back far behind. In this case, the images and stories contained in this urban bestiary play to create a postmodern mythology in which chimerical beings contemplate us with the realism with which nightmares are impregnated.
Humanimals creates a universe of fantastic beings crystallized in a series of disconcerting drawings and stories that, like a gallery of horrors, blur the fine line that separates the portrait from the caricature. Monsters at the same time affable as Ovieja, Cabra Cadabra, Pérez Oso, Castizorro, Potro de Vallecas, Augusto Rodaballo and many others, are the result of a disturbing fusion, sometimes comic, that breaks the established codes claiming a reconciliation with bestiary, far from the traditional categorizations between beasts and human beings.

THE TWO HERREROS.
When Hollywood shone in the Gran Vía
 
THE TWO HERREROS.
When Hollywood shone in the Gran Vía
 
Enrique Herreros
 
It is an autobiographical book written in a humorous way with which to approach the biography of these two greats and wander through the history of cinema and advertising in our country.
The surname Herreros brings together everything that nobody has done in Spain in cinema advertising. The two, separately or hand in hand, knew how to shape a profession that had not yet been invented. In the 1930s, his father knew how to create the typography, icons and chromatic syntax with which the Spanish learned to read a cinema billboard on Madrid's Gran Vía. The son, after having successfully completed his doctorate at the paternal academy, knew how to play the right keys so that national pride would have the first Oscar of Start Again from his friend José Luis Garci.
In tandem, we were discovered and made famous by the greatest stars, directors, actors and actresses of the seventh artistic sequence. There are, unsurpassed, the posters that announced the premieres of the works of Granowsky, Pabst, Eisenstéin, René Clair, etc .; with us follow the images of Charlton Heston, Tyrone Power, Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrígida, Liz Taylor, George Hamilton ...
With the passion and love he has accustomed us to, now the ever-young Enrique Herreros vividly recalls the time when when an artistic launch achieved notoriety, it was commented on by the profession's mentiders: “This has been done by the two Herreros ”.
