This area was recently created, and on the shutters of the garages they put various murals of many themes so that the place would have "another air". There are writers, things from Galicia, etc.

On this occasion, a garage door painted with a mural is used by Abram to make a caricature of the Ourense comic artist David Rubín and a dragon from one of his illustrations.
The character with black and white colors and the dragon yellow, gold and green.
The orange background is according to the red façade.

"David Rubín (Ourense, 1977) is one of the most recognized Spanish cartoonists in recent years (in Spain, but also internationally). He is co-founder of the Polaqia collective, made up of cartoonists from Galicia. During his first years as a cartoonist, he published mainly in Galicia, in the fanzines Barsowia (Polaqia) and BD Banda , and in the children's magazine Golfiño (a supplement to the newspaper La Voz de Galicia ), and won a good handful of prizes in competitions. of comics from their autonomous community. Later, he also publishes short comics in a good list of national comic magazines (mainly, on a regular basis in Dos Veces Breve and Humo) and participates in various anthologies and collective books.
But Rubín is known above all for his three comic books: The Circus of Despair (2005), The Malay Bear Teahouse (2006) and Notebook of Storms (2008), all of them nominated (the second, also awarded) at the Salón del Barcelona comic, the most important in Spain, and all of them over a hundred pages long (176, 184 and 112). In another area, because they are short-lived monographs (by number of pages) and are commissioned, he has two comics on his resume for SM (2008-2009) and one for La Xunta de Galicia (2010).
Between 2011 and 2012, his last work to date was published in two volumes,El Héroe (Astiberri), his most ambitious and extensive work to date, with around 500 comic pages, in which he pays his particular homage to superhero comics by revising the myth of Heracles.
Professionally, Rubín studied graphic design at an Art School in his hometown, after which he went on to work in animation, which has been his main occupation (economically and professionally) for years, first in the Limaía animation studios and, above all, in Dygra afterwards (where he coincided with José Domingo, also a cartoonist). For Dygra he first worked as an animator, later doing storyboards, and finally co-directed the feature film The Spirit of the Forest.(2008) and was to co-direct the production company's next feature film ( Holy Night! ), but he definitively left the company at the beginning of 2010, which owed a group of workers (including Rubín) one year's salary.
As an illustrator, the works that have possibly had the most diffusion have been a cover for the On Madrid supplement of El País , the poster for the 2009 Barcelona Comic Fair, and the illustrated book Solomon Kane (Astiberri, 2010)."
