Finally, it’s out and published a small piece Katia worked for “Literature for Life”. The assignment consisted on illustrating a short fictional story from Vivian McInerny.

Katia: “ I really loved the dark and decadent tone of the piece and talked about a topic that is very relevant and close to my heart: Emotional Orphans and Unappealing Children. The text is been given in several highschool classes to read as a discussion topic and I am very happy and proud to be able to help on such a matter! As an artist, the ending really appealed to me, I wanted even if it was a hard reality to have a bit of “strange hope” kind of a feeling, so I chose neon-bright colors and I tried to give it a peaceful atmosphere for the privacy of the characters. I hope you like it!”

Here some cool news! Finally, two of our very early projects here at the studio has seen the light this month!

Please let me introduce you "Cosas que pasan cuando llevas vida de Artista". This book was started by Katia Grifols, the year before she decided to start Glow in the Dark, so in essence was the book that started everything! It's an autobiography of how those terrible moments in life can bring you the best moments as well. A book that was painful and very rewarding at the same time, very honest and has a sense of humor. This book was sold to Planeta (Spain) about a year and a half ago out of a Pitch at the Salo del comic de Barcelona.

The next book we are very excited to be part of is "Yeguas". A book published by Ediciones Invisible that collects amazingly inspiring quotes by great feminas illustrated by amazingly talented feminas, where Katia Grifols was selected to be part of. Katia was given the assignment to illustrate Roxane Gay's quote and she was very excited given she really admires her work and personality.
