Señor Salme is a freelance illustrator working and living in Málaga, Spain, whose clients include Apple, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Wired Magazine, The New Yorker, The Guardian, Variety, The Wire, and more.
Despite exhibiting a rather shameless submission to his old Wacom tablet, Señor Salme cultivates a thorough and unrequited love for good brushes and the thick smell of ink.
His drawings are influenced by an inconsistent blend of comic books, popular culture, symbolist painters and mythology.
Apart from illustration, he is also fond (though in a somewhat faked way) of Soviet science-fiction films, second-hand books containing handwritten notes by their previous owners, and a musical genre he likes to call nerdie music, which may have little relation with what other people are refering to when using this tag.
