Diego Jourdan

As of 2016, he is currently illustrating The Sunday Post's Fun Section comic-strips (which include Oor Wullie, The Broons, and Wee Harry), filling in for regular artist Peter Davidson when the occasion demands it.

In his free time, Diego is now pursuing his interest in art printmaking, taking part in exhibitions in Belgium's Sint Niklaas Museum and Japan's Tama Art University. During 2015, Diego took part in Japan's MI Lab Residency program, designed to teach "mokuhanga" (Japanese water-based woodcut printmaking technique) to foreign artists.

New comic projects, as of 2014, include inking Bob Weber Jr. on his strip Slylock Fox & Comics For Kids; and restoring and re-coloring vintage comic panels for online publication Last Kiss. Among his other recent restoration projects are books collecting selected works of Uruguayan comic creators Carlos María Federici (Detective Intergaláctico) and Geoffrey "Fola" Foladori (Fola: el hombre que fue una biblioteca), both published by Uruguayan comics convention Montevideo Comics.

During 2013, he worked for Tinkle magazine in India. Apart from the comics aforementioned comics projects, Jourdan continues to expand into other fields of illustration while working mainly for publishers in the UK.

Additional work Jourdan has recently done for Uruguay includes the cover of the children's science fiction graphic novel Crononautas, for GAS Comics, the same small print publisher he did the cover of GAS3K.1 (2011) for.

After working on short lived revamped runs of Ivy the Terrible in The Beano (2010) and Snooty & Scamp (Lord & Lauser) in Wendy (2011), Diego now finds himself involved in other projects for publisher DC Thomson, including promotional comics for the Lego City brand, and illustrations for WWE Kids Magazine.

Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, Diego moved to Santiago de Chile, Chile, in 1991, where he's lived ever since.
