Paco Mir

I was born in 57 and they immediately saw that I was male and that they would have to call me Francisco which was the traditional thing to do in the Mir branch of the family As a child I went through a stage of Currito to differentiate myself from my father who was called Curro and even a Currito de Oro which years later I took advantage of using the name as an alias of a character who was a bullfighter Finally everyone agreed and they called me Paco I was going to be a Fine Arts student although I really wanted to draw comic strips when I happened to stumble upon the performing arts and today after kicking stages around the world for almost 40 years creating eight works with Tricicle writing a lot winning two Max awards producing several television series creating advertising campaigns and adapting and directing with some success more than fifty theater zarzuela and opera titles I still have the feeling that I am in the show business by sheer chance I never stopped drawing just in case
