Juan Diaz Canales
Juan Diaz Canales was born in Madrid in 1972. He began his career at 18 for the Spanish animation studio Lapiz Azul, where he met Juanjo Guarnido. After Guarnido moved to Paris, the two collaborated on the graphic novel series Blacksad, a 1950s noir written by Diaz Canales. He now balances scripting for comics and animation with television directing. Though Blacksad was his first published comics work, he has worked with several artists, including Antonio Lapone on the Eisner-nominated Gentlemind, co-written with his wife Teresa Valero.
Juanjo Guarnido was born in Granada, Spain, in 1967. After meeting Juan Diaz Canales at the Lapiz Azul animation studio, Guarnido moved to Paris in 1993 to join Walt Disney Studios, where he worked as an animator. While there, he began drawing his first graphic album, collaborating long-distance with Diaz Canales for the 2000 publication of Blacksad: Somewhere within the Shadows. The success of Blacksad has allowed Guarnido to undertake other projects, such as Sorcelleries with writer Teresa Valero and the best-selling Les Indes Fourbes with writer Alain Ayroles.
