Miguel Gallardo's "Maria and Me" being made into a documentary movie

"Maria and Me," Miguel Gallardo's book about his autistic daughter Maria, is being made into a documentary movie by director Felix Fernandez de Castro. TVE and Bausan are producing the film for the movies and television. The film will have some animated parts that Miguel and his girlfriend are creating. Miguel and Maria began filming this month in the Canary Islands, and production will continue all year. Miguel says that the first shoot was fantastic. The director has some good ideas, and Maria did well during it. They shot the first scenes at a resort for German tourists, including using an underwater camera to capture them swimming in the pool. They are now travelling to Las Palmas to film at Maria's school and home.

In related news, Miguel has won the comic award from the Professional Association of Illustrators of Catalonia for "Maria and Me." He also has a solo exhibition of his cartoon career starting May 26 at the Galeria Victor Saavedra in Barcelona. "6 in One" includes 120 pieces and coincides with the International Comic Festival.

Tatsuro Kiuchi Wins Two Bronze Medals

The 3x3 Pro Show has awarded two Bronze Medals in the Editorial category to Tatsuro Kiuchi. His entries had more than a majority of the judges' votes as well as one or more judges listing them as their favorites. The two entries are "Traveling with Four-legged Friends" and "Golf Orphans." "Traveling" was a rejected sketch for a New York Times article since it was similar to another illustration they had used in the past, but was published by Kadokawa in Japan as a magazine cover. The final New York Times piece was of a cat in a suitcase, also selected for the 3x3 annual. "Golf Orphans" was from a Golf for Women article about parents who are always golfing on the weekends, so the only chance the daughters have to see them is when they are at the pool near the golf course. Tatsuro also had five images selected from the Starbucks "Pass the Cheer" advertising campaign.

Greg Clarke had the cover of the New York Times Book Review chosen. Miguel Gallardo had entries selected from three different categories: the cover of Maria and Me, illustrations from Java Junkie, and "Anger" published by Magazine-La Vanguardia. Images from Get Ready: The Los Angeles Earthquake Sourcebook by Paul Rogers were honored in the book series category.

Heflinreps congratulates all our artists whose illustrations were selected for the annual. There were over 4,000 entries, with only 200 images selected by the judges.
