As I have told you once, I was commercial illustrator in a past life. Even after we moved to Spain, twenty-five years ago, occasionally there were advertising commissions or assignments for institutional campaigns. Hence commercial work. I have experienced great pleasure, not at least for the preparatory phase. For example, the search for models and props, such as for the illustration for the Dutch beer brand Amstel.
The other picture shows the irrigation system for agriculture in the village of Paterna, where we used to live. This latter was an assignment for a calendar produced by a bank, the theme being Water in the Comunidad Valenciana.
I always did these jobs with satisfaction but the time pressure was often lethal, ever again fighting against deadlines. In that respect I am really glad that time in my life is far behind me now.
