THE FLYING HEART

«Un corazón, una chica. El corazón vuela, la chica sufre. Una historia
cotidiana que no por conocida deja de conmover. Un libro para los buenos
y malos momentos sentimentales que rebosa imaginación, sentido del
humor, amor y lágrimas escrito e ilustrado con un personal y
sorprendente estilo por Amaya Uscola.» – Alvaro Sobrino

Back in 2006, working as a copywriter at an advertising agency, I wrote and illustrated this love story in my spare times, and it ended up being my first artist book.
For some reason this story came out my guts into English language, the one I use to express my feelings. The publisher, Alvaro Sobrino from Blur Ediciones and Visual, was also very open minded not asking me for a single change in the book.
Everything led to the distribution company Actar picking up my published little art book to show it at the best Museums and bookshops around the world. Yeah. So I was so lucky to see my book in the shops of great places such as Museo Reina Sofia (Madrid), Tate Modern (London), Chicago Arts Museum (Chicago), Centre Pompidou (Paris), Caixa Forum (Madrid) or Amazon.com
This book was also the spark for the publisher to decide beginning a new collection of many other lovely little books made by advertising creatives, in collaboration with Club de Creativos de España.
And such were the best awards my pride could ever get, and also a proof that exercising your creativity by working on those personal projects in which you believe, can really take you to very big places. Which rocks.

MEMORIAS DE PEZ

Un libro nacido de un proyecto artístico que ha durado nueve meses. Unas
memorias salidas de una cabeza llena de peces. Y con bastante mala
memoria. La historia de un día a día como el de cualquiera, donde igual
se piensa en el amor que en cambiar la batería del coche. O en si pasar
tiempo en Facebook es o no es confortable. Un libro para entretenerse y,
también, para aprender pequeñas cosas sobre una mínima parte de las
aproximadamente 30.000 especies de peces que existen. Un libro publicado
con muchas ganas y cariño, para quienes nunca olvidan la belleza que
existe en el mar.

AMOR DE PERRO

Amor de perro has been born of a fundraising project for Dogs Rescuing. All the portraits were done in exchange of donations to APA Lucha Animal. Dogs depicted are a mix of dogs in a home (the ones in inks and acrylics) and dogs who need a home (the ones depicted with photo-arts).

While fish talekd about routines and butterflies about romantic relationships, his time dogs talk about love and abandonment, sometimes being funny, sometimes not so much.

Third in a collection after «Hambre de Mariposas» (Uxplanet 2017) and
«Memorias de Pez» (Uxplanet 2015)

EVERYTHING REMINDS YOU OF ME. A fish memoir.

In the shape of an eye-catching graphic letter, the singular fishbow-headed character Peixe writes this visually disruptive memoir. A child who, suffering a loss he cańt possibly understand, embraces loneliness to surf the modern-life-tsunamis. At the same time, he navigates his inner sea where pain seem to be forever stuck, making his fish looking brain change with them . A story of self-examination, awareness and memory reshaping, where Peixe and the mermaid Maldiva show imagination and the power of will as the best tools to overcome fear when oblivion seems not possible. Because enduring our emotional memories might be just one more proof of the beauty of existence.This book took 6 years to be complete, and it is part of the artistic project World of Pez®, about memory and the sea.
