About Me:
|
|
I'm Pavel Lujardo,
author and creator of Futurepig. I was born in 1968 and started drawing
comics at age 5. I published my comics professionally for the first time
in 1987.
I have done cartoons and
illustrations for several publications in the United States and Europe.
Currently I do mostly freelance jobs or work on my own projects.
I’m pretty much a traditional
artist. I still draw with pencil and pens. I use the computer to color
and add the text.
I don't have any formal education in Arts, except for what I have
taught to myself. I
love drawing and telling stories. I don’t make much money with my art,
but I feel paid when people read and enjoy my comics.

Pinton the Pig is a character
I created when I was a kid and have evolved along with me for most of my
life. For many years I have been imagining his adventures and putting
them on paper.... and more recently on the Internet.
Futurepig is always evolving.
I keep experimenting with new things, which may work or not. You may
notice sudden changes in the page design and layout. I try to improve
the quality of the comics and the web page and I rely on my reader’s
advice for that. If you have any suggestion or find errors in the site,
please let me know. I’m grateful for every criticism that helps me
improve.
If you want to leave me comments or feedback you can the
message board.

Interests: |
I'm interested in Art, books, History, ancient civilizations (Egypt,
Greece, Rome) Archaeology and Paleontology. I also try to keep up with
the latest advances in technology, especially everything related to
computers.
I must clarify; keeping up with technology doesn’t mean buying every
last I-Gadget that comes out. It’s about being informed, not jumping
into the consumerist bandwagon.
I always try to find time to read a book. Not just in electronic form
but also the real ones (the ones you can smell) Books are probably one
of the few material things in life I can be attached to. I prefer
non-fiction books about a variety of themes (from science to philosophy)
and fiction that has some substance. I have an interest in religions
because they play a very interesting role in human life, not because I
have faith in any particular one.My favorite
artist are
Salvador Dalí, Moebius, H. R. Giger, Syd Mead, Richard
Corben and Mike Mignola. I also enjoy
cooking, though only a brave few have eaten my
culinary creations. |

E-Mail Rules:
|
|
 |
Since Spam (those
annoying messages trying to sell me Viagra) is getting worse every day,
I had to set very strict filters in my E-Mail account. It is possible
that some good messages get unintentionally deleted along with the tons
of junk I receive every day.
To avoid this, put the word “comic” on the subject of your mail. This
will guarantee the message will not be deleted. It also will end the
message to my cell phone (though it won’t guarantee I will answer it instantly, since I can be in
the bathroom or something at the time) My
address is: pavelDELETETHIS@futurepig.com
You can also leave me comments on the
Message Board. |

I'm not taking
commissions at this moment.
I'm
not doing artwork for hire right now. My own projects take most of my
time.

I usually do illustrations to accompany
short stories in magazines. If you have a story or text you want illustrated, send me
short synopsis, or an extract of the story you want me to illustrate. For more complex
works, like groups of illustrations for a book, contact me by E-Mail.
In special cases, I may do illustrations free for small press
magazines and fanzines. I specially take interest in publications dedicated to the Cthulhu
Mythos, weird fiction and underground themes. If you think you have a project I may be interested
in collaborate, E-Mail me
with the details. I may also trade artwork for advertising space.

Usually, I only draw comics
with my own scripts and characters. However, you have a short script for
a comic you think will work fine with my style, E-Mail me with the
details.
If you are interested in one
of the comics currently posted in my page for your fanzine or
publications, send me E-Mail
