While in Spain last week, I had the opportunity to talk about sketching in Seattle to more than 400 journalists gathered in Huesca for the XI Digital Journalism Conference, a one-of-a-kind event launched by local tech journalist Fernando García Mongay in 2000 to discuss the future of journalism in the digital era.

Huesca is a 50,000-population city about an hour away from top-notch ski resorts in the Pyrenees. They're bidding to host the winter Olympic games in 2022 in partnership with the nearby cities of Jaca and Zaragoza. Unfortunately, I only had a few hours to stroll around its peaceful streets before heading back to Barcelona to catch a plane to Seattle.

I'll have to come back for more sketches! At the conference, I participated in a panel about illustrated journalism with fellow artists João Catarino and Enrique Flores. Broadcast journalist Sergio Fernández-Vizarra --shown in the sketch-- interviewed me for Cadena SER and I also talked to journalist Rosa Jiménez Cano for the digital edition of El País -- my serious look on the photo doesn't reflect at all what a great time I had in Huesca.
