Tomás HijoTomás Hijo was born in Spain. He is an illustrator and a professor of illustration at the University of Salamanca in Spain. He has illustrated more than seventy books and written ten of them, most of which are related to legends and folklore, rom ancient legends to creepypasta, from medieval miracles to a brief history of magic.

With printmaking as his technique of choice, his works belong to private collections all around the world, including Guillermo del Toro's and Mike Mignola's. His work has been exhibited in many galleries through Europe and the United States. His interest in the works of H. P. Lovecraft led to the birth of Nictonomicon, a collection of prints that has attracted the interest of the most important people in the field.
