TFF: How did you go about illustrating “Between Scylla and Charybdis”?

Josep Lledó: It was very difficult to select a target to illustrate, because in a few words there are a lot of incredible creatures and transformations. But finally I drew a woman, proudly standing against all those visions of the patriarchy.

TFF: If you could curate a museum exhibit or display, what would it be?

JL: Oh, I would love some exhibition like the Salon des Refusés of Paris, with a lot of authors banned from the commercial or artistic tracks. Polemical, blamed, punished, countercultural…

TFF: How did you go about illustrating “Bridge”?

Josep Lledó: I have seen many trolls under bridges and I want to give my vision of that subject so I decided that this would be my drawing. I tried to make a different troll since the bridges are usually all the same

TFF: What is the spookiest corner of the city you live in?

JL: My whole city is a terrifying place, it's built on a wet and unhealthy swamp.

TFF: If you could teleport to any place in the world, where would you go right now?

JL: To the bathroom.

Micro-interview with Josep Lledò

Josep Lledó, illustrator of “Degenerate” in The Future Fire #60 answers a few micro-questions:

TFF: How did you go about illustrating “Degenerate”?

JL: The text was very metaphoric and bizarre. When I read it there immediately came to my mind the image of a figure who is self human, self “degenerated” human. The half-human image corresponds to a picture mounted on the Pioneer probes; that was because the text also suggested me something cosmic.

TFF: What is under your bed?

JL: Actually there are tons of fluff under my bed.

TFF: What else are you working on now?

JL: Despite what I really want, I'm a graphic designer more than an illustrator. I work on book covers, logos and posters, but I always make some time to draw weird stuff.
