Octavio Jiménez

I was born in Mexico City on November 23, 1979. Between 1998 and 2002 I took a degree in Design and Visual Communication, with a specialization in Illustration, all this at the National School of Plastic Arts (ENAP) of the UNAM (the National University of Mexico). Currently and since 2000, I work and survive as a cartoonist, illustrator, infographer, and scientific illustrator, I assume myself as a graphic producer.

Since 2015 I am an active member of the Mexican Association of Illustrators (AMDI), creating and promoting initiatives.

In my secret identity, I design, illutrate and publish my own webcomic Mercado Negro Comics; Stories of self-defense, The issues under the heading Nuestros derechos serán justicia (Our rights will be justice) and Historia de México X (Mexican History X) are some of the narrative arcs that I have made under that seal. I currently live, work and occasionally sleep well in Iztapalapa, Mexico City.
