It’s a diary for the visually inclined—a place where artists can most comfortably explore their personal thoughts, work out their visual needs, practice, maintain a visual history, and hopefully create the unpolished work that will eventually lead to amazing work for the world to see.

Born in Madrid, Fernando Vicente begins his career in the ’80′s, mixing illustration with painting.
