Biography
I am Jairo Valverde, artist and illustrator born in Vigo, Galicia (Spain).
My style is Fantasy and Pin Up mainly focused in comic world to create cover arts, but also to portray mighty warrior women, naughty fairies or academic related work. I draw with traditional black and white pencils and then I add colours digitally.
My main references art great artists like Boris Vallejo, Julie Bell, Luis Royo and Frank Frazetta among others.
After end my studies I started working as illustrator, portraitist and ocassionally web designer. My first job as cover artist was for the spanish musician Jesús Díez when he published his symphonic metal album MONO NO AWARE (with high influences from japanese culture).
Together with other projects and the publishing of my first ARTBOOK I started receiving my first comic covers projects.
The adventure began when SLAB CITY COMICS commissioned me my first two covers featuring Vampirella; a character I usually draw today for my clients. From that moment on, I dedicate my whole time with heart and soul to the world of covers, creating exclusive illustrations for the most specialized publishers and comic shops of the business:
Slab City Comics, Penthouse Comics, TheNextArt, M House Comics, Bad Donut Comics, Cherry Fox Comics, ANs Playhouse, BooKoo Comics, SR Comics, , Supidlilmonkey Comics, The 616 Comics, Mad Love Comics, Calcha Comics...
Currently I work as freelance artist creating cover arts, private illustrations and other projects, as well as the honour to collect my works in amazing Artbooks. From this site you can get prints of my arts, to purchase original Artworks or commission a new art project for publishing or private. Contact me here or on my social media (links below).
