"Since I was young I have the habit of making barricades."
Vegetables buying in the supermarket, in the bar drinking small pines, listening to Su Ta Sagar… Isn’t it too much?
I find this way of life that we carry so fast exaggerated. Apparently, in the comic book, vegetables represent a chaotic world, but surely there's the life we've chosen, it's the reflection of our chaotic world.
You've drawn two parallel worlds around the orchard, interacting: the outside, the gardener, and the inside, the vegetables. Who controls whom?
There is a controlled lack of control or perhaps uncontrolled control. The reader will have to see this…
Have you looked a lot before you start drawing vegetables? To know your life so well…
Well, I've had the habit of making barricades since I was a kid, more than drawings. Therefore, the work of Altza Porru has made me quite easy. It is true, however, that I have also had to give a few laps in my head to thread and roll the story.
Have you learned anything about the vegetable garden with Altza Porru? Or was it already controlling the issue?
Of course I've learned! I like to make the work warmer and more humble, and I have certainly learned a lot from this Altza Porru project. I've had a vegetable garden before, yeah, and now I'm in urban vegetable gardens projects. I used to have a little connection with all of this, but it is true that I still have a lot to learn. I am a simple disciple in this matter.
Tipuliñe is the protagonist of your comic book. In the presentation of the authors your onion.
So Assisi may have seen me as a weeping, and that's why he's drawn my onion with his face. Or maybe it's because we're all very yin. The onion is very yin and according to the macrobiotics we should yanginize everyone...

In Altza Porru we’ve seen you as the owner of the Jakobian building, a superhero who becomes a walnut… Haven’t the cartoonists really bothered you?
I guess not. I already have friends to those cartoonists, and you know what happens to friends… What has happened with... [+]
Despite having participated in Altza Porru, you haven't made a full comic book story unlike the other cartoonists. Has Jakoba censored you?
I knew that Jacob intended to censor me, and so, with self-importance, I decided not to give myself that opportunity. And yes, it's true... [+]
Horticulture and politics have come together in your comic book. A bit surreal.
I heard Jacob say that whoever does not understand the garden is not a Basque cult. He turned my head around. One day, at ETB, they kicked off part of a Urkullu rally and I looked at their hands. It... [+]
Everything you know about the vegetable garden has been put into eight pages in Altza Porru. Did you not know much then?
Well, no. I know little and I also forget how little I know. I remember asking my mother how to sow the garlic and she responded. Two days later, I called... [+]
You've drawn a universe of permaculture, ecological orchards, biodynamics and zero junk philosophy. It's a paradise for Jakobit!
Yes, that is it! I love to imagine the natural tendency of nature to perfection when we don't intervene. Today, we always walk behind, inventing systems... [+]
Instead of talking about the vegetable garden, you have talked in your space of Altza Porru, Asisko…
Well, I'm a citizen, very nonsense, and as a family, I've never had anyone in my neighborhood in the hamlet. Now that I've made my life, I have a relationship with the earth,... [+]
What has been the experience of Altza Porru? Have you had to check the book Bizi Baratzea many times before you start drawing?
Good experience! I in the garden, the truth is that the experience is zero. Or rather zero negative! But I've learned a lot. The orchard has taught... [+]
It's up to you to introduce yourself to your compatriot Jakoba Errekondo in Altza Porru. Is it not a fat issue?
Yes, it was a small text, but it was a great responsibility. I felt the weight of responsibility over me, a cold sweat. In fact, it's the presentation of an important... [+]
With RISA TRAVIESA, I speak the comic book that tempted me by the edge of the towel. The garden seems made especially for those we love a lot, we enjoy its fruits but we do not practice. Eight street cartoonists have given the garden a complete imaginary and a sense of humor... [+]
Visitors were able to taste the seasonal products that approached the Ekonekazaritza Experimental Farm in Karabeleko on 16th. Jakoba Errekondo, in collaboration with eight Basque cartoonists and ARGIA, have found the right place to start the presentation of the book ‘Altza... [+]
As waiting for the first pea plant that the hortelan sowed, Jakobita awaits the new book. Date of departure. The best seller Bizi Baratzea bought the best seller at the Durango Fair and they ate it in their entirety in the coming weeks, they have come to all the presentations... [+]
