Fernando Vinyes. Barcelona in 1941-1999. From his father he inherited the love of drawing caricatures and writing. They also shared a love for the world of bullfighting, participating in radio and press gatherings: Diario 16, La Cope, TV3, TV1 Miramar, Canal Plus, Diario Ya and Diario de Barcelona. His bullfighting deck "De El Cordobés a Espartaco" is a monument to bullfighting. His 52 caricatures / cards are of great creative value. The jokers are Pedro Balañá Fort and Manolo Chopera. There was a second bullfighting deck published in 2004 by Egartorre - Libros, his caricatures are more modern than the previous one, one of the last ones Vinyes drew. Another of his hobbies was boxing, where he also worked as a journalist and cartoonist, but it was not as important as in bullfighting.
