"Welcome to the World" features the work of renowned graphic artist Miguel Brieva (Seville, 1974), who is a cartoonist and musician known for cultivating multiple genres combining text and image: comics, graphic humor, illustration, animation, visual poetry, and sketches. Although Brieva's work addresses a wide variety of themes, unifying concerns include ecocriticism, the ways the mass media shapes people's imaginations, and the social and environmental consequences of consumer society.
