One of them is a children’s story where the little ones in the family can recognise every emotion represented by a different art material.


One of the things that makes me happiest is when clients come back after our first project together. With Monica Ventura we illustrated and designed our first book, “Transformando el Silencio” – a guide full of art-therapy techniques to help parents and professionals support children with selective mutism.


This time I’ve had the huge privilege of having Mónica Ventura and @María Fernanda Monter trust us again to bring these two new books to life. Books that will help so many people manage emotions like anger, frustration, anxiety… and joy, among many others.


See you on November 10th!

Thank you so much ❤️

Next Monday we’re dropping not one… but TWO art-therapy books (and yeah, returning clients still make me happy)

· Improved accessibility: Great for dyslexia, ADHD, or visual impairments.

· Visual motivation: Sparks a mental break and keeps learners engaged.

· Reduced complexity: Turns abstract ideas into clear visuals.

This illustration popped into my head the other day while I was walking through Montreal, listening to one of my favorite podcasts, La Contrahistoria by the amazing Fernando Díaz Villanueva. The episode was about the Cosa Nostra. Here’s the link to that episode—once you start, you’ll get hooked and can jump to any topic that grabs you. They’re seriously addictive.


Back in my 20s, I spent a year taking evening history classes at the University of Barcelona while studying illustration and design at Escola Joso in the mornings. Illustration was always my true path, so by the second year, I focused solely on drawing, creating, and diving deep into visual storytelling.


It’s been a long, rewarding journey full of effort to get where we are today—and where we hope to go next. But history has always been a passion of mine. Lately, I’ve picked it up again—reading essays, listening to podcasts, and watching historical documentaries.


This conceptual piece is a few years old now—it was # 8 in the series—and I love it because it’s probably the most comic-book-style one I’ve done. The Godfather is one of my top three movies of all time, and I’m a huge fan of illustrations where yellow dominates.


Conceptual illustration by Alejandro Milà in Procreate: a classic mafioso in a white suit and hat, smoking a cigarette, casting a scythe-shaped death shadow on the ground. An orange fire hydrant sits at the shadow’s end. Mustard yellow background. Signed 'milà' in the lower-right corner.
