Miriam Escobosa

Hi! My name is Míriam Escobosa Lázaro.

I was born in Sabadell (Barcelona, Spain) in 1982.

When I was a child, I spent most of my days drawing and colouring instead of playing with dolls or outside. I loved watching movies, cartoon series and drawing the characters after the episode. I also loved to play board or cards games and video games came later too.

All these memories make me think that I haven’t changed so much in all these years and my inner child is still here. I’ve never stopped drawing, but it wasn’t after having my first daughter, when I decided to get away from the design, art direction and design management to be a professional illustrator, what I wanted to be since I was a child: «When I grow up, I want to be a painter. But not a wall painter, a paintings artist», I used to say.

My style is a mix between the two big influences from my childhood: anime and animation (like Dr. Slump tv serial or Disney movies). I like the stories of unusual characters on fantastic worlds and I love to draw characters full of emotion and values expressing the joy, illusion and magic seen through the eyes of a child.

Most of my projects are digital but I also enjoy when the project fits in with traditional illustration and I can use watercolor and colored pencils.

I’m focused on children’s world but I also create book covers, comics, games, personal commissions, videogames and any interesting artistic collaboration to continue filling my life with colors.
