Valentin Pujadas

Valentin Pujadas, also known as Dirty Pote, named himself after the “potes” he drew as a child — buddies, which meant plush toys. “Dirty” was the rock ’n’ roll half. Toy Story still gets a monthly screening.

Pujadas is an art director at an advertising firm and also works as a freelance illustrator. His expertise lies in layout and typography, which form the foundation of his creative domain. His artistic style is characterized by its vibrancy, playfulness, and dynamic energy, with a profusion of detail. His illustrations can also be found gracing the pages of books aimed at a teenage audience. One of his recent works, "Cliquer, c’est polluer," is a thought-provoking piece that educates the youth about the issue of digital pollution.
