about
headsOnBoards was born in 2006 as a personal project where I could develop my interest in old comics and graphics from the early years of 20th century trying to adapt them to present times and client assignments. My name is Gabriel Corbera. I live and work in Barcelona.
An so I Like:
Old Cartoonists: Schulz, John Stanley, Frank King, Elsie Segar, Tezuka- Present cartoonists: Seth, Kim Deitch or Chris Ware - And so: the old times - bad printing - naïf attitudes - banjo sound - folk music - damaged things - birds - unknown old men & women - Old movies - James Stewart - Irene Dunne - Jacques Tati - old Penguin book designs - vintage cards - 30's & 40's commercial art - mistakes - child doodles - scribbles- hats - pipes - churches - façades and windowsills - worn-out shoes - etc.
