There was a show of pictures I drew specially for the festival on the theme of "Drawing The Sailor - Variations and homages around a famous character"
Two views of the banner announcing the show.
We have been treated marvellously well by everybody at the festival. I dont have enough room to name everyone but I will mention some remarkable individuals. The man with the beard is Antonio Zurera, terrific artist, director of the festival and nice guy all round. The young lady without the beard is Carmen Ridaura, coordinator extraordinaire and magnificent organizer.
The usual suspects. Please note that the one with the cap has TWO glasses of booze in his hands.
Driving a bubble car with the hand brakes on (YES!) and guiding us around old Cordoba is the delectable Maria Marchessi. Great gal, brilliant cicerone and mother hen.
Last week I was in Cordoba, Spain, as a juror for Animacor 2007, the 
Carlos Varela and me but I think we may be "Bouvard & Pecuchet"
Joanna Quinn laughing politely at some inanity I must have said to her.
This photo was taken by the waiter at the moment of our deliberations. The two onlookers, in pink and green, are Maria Marchessi, our guide and mother hen, and darling Patricia Grillo, who was in for the ride.
Pedro Delgado has a disagreement with Joanna.
Here is a selection of photos of the jurors hard at work. We were quite pleased with our choice of winners. The first prize, for the best short, went to the outstanding Madame Tutli Putli, possibly one of the best animated films I have seen in years. For the rest of the winners please visit:
