"I gave heaven to Altza Porru"

Argazkia: Dani Blanco

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 to turn around errors. Or at least to try to guess. I wanted to imagine the moment when you don't need all of that. I don't know if we come from that paradise world, but we have to go in that direction.

Give and receive. What have you given to Altza Porru and what have you taken from it?

Give to Altza Porru? An ecosystem of paradise in which the work of the garden does not work. No trash, clean, ecological, self-stocked... Paradise, it's not a little, right?
And he to me? Time to have some tertulias with Jakoba, the opportunity to work with great professionals and good people I like, the challenge to create and develop an eight-page script, to challenge myself… and with a little luck, the possibility to make presentations by Euskal Herria (ja, ja).

Where have you been more in the process of drawing this comic by looking for models, in the orchard or in the documentary animals of the BBC?

I have searched in that garden that I care (no), seeing how things take by themselves the tendency to balance, looking at nature and reflecting… and in the exchange between men and women. By the way, the BBC -- what is that?

To create all those word games you’ve used, you may have been among the books of Euskaltzaindia…

Euskaltzaindia? No, no, Jacob himself! I would turn to him whenever I had any doubts. And because it has two hours of fluidity with a question, it was enough to meet twice to complete the script. It's been the third leg of this work.

I didn’t know what the truth is that represents you in the book presentation… Marrubia? Potato?

Uix, those are things of Assisi! I don't know either! She says I’m a alberjina but… If there’s any more book, let’s see if they give me the opportunity to make portraits…

"The process of creating the book has been a constant holiday"

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... [+]

"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... [+]

Unai Iturriaga Zugaza Armur:
"The only similarity that bertsos have with drawing is the desire to smoke that they produce me."

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... [+]

Unai Gaztelumendi:
Have we ever had a president who knows how to plant leeks?

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... [+]

Durango Fair
The quote is on the ARGIA table.
If you come to the Durango Fair, a special gift awaits you at the ARGIA table: The Mordaza Act imposed on ARGIA the cover we brought this year, converted into a poster, in response to the fine. The strength of ARGIA to deal with this kind of aggression is people. That is why... [+]

"Before I met Jakobitas I was a Jacobean"

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... [+]

"In the orchard I've drawn almost all the comic book."

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,... [+]

Antton Olariaga Aranburu, Altza Porruz:
"We cartoonists are also horticultural."

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... [+]

"Humor is also a revolution, a plough of everyday life."

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... [+]

Working with historians

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... [+]


From the humor of the orchard, 'Altza Porru'

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... [+]
