Mundo R is a Galician-Basque telephone company.Also, they have a strong presence in the north of Spain with telephone lines, internet connections and television channels. Besides, their headquarters are in A Coruña, our city. Furthermore, every year for their summer campaign they make a design for their building.

For this occasion, we worked closely with Alberto Taracido. Also, Taracido is a graphic designer and illustrator with a lot of imagination and creativity. On the other hand, he has so much imagination that we should have set limits for him. In conclusion, it was risky not to put limits on his work, but it was worth it; the result was spectacular.

Furthermore, he created a sculpture that hung from the building and pretended to pull it. It was very colourful and eye-catching. The result was a masterpiece and everyone in the city was fascinated by it. It’s something that doesn’t happen every day.

In short, it was a very interesting advertising campaign and Mundo R,  the client, trusted us completely. Here at Antaruxa Animation Studio we had fun and it was also inspiring to work with Alberto Taracido. We are looking forward to repeating a campaign like this one. We would also like to work again for R, Cable and Telecable Telecomunicaciones.

Nico against childhood cancer was started in November 2015 in Ourense, after Nicolás Leal Rodríguez, the protagonist of our story, returned from his intervention at the La Paz Hospital in Madrid.

Being selected as one of the 12 animation studios to create an illustration for a calendar as part of the solidarity campaign for the Nico Against Childhood Cancer organization was a true honor. Any contribution that can be made to such causes is always appreciated.

Our work involved illustrating the fight against an aggressive cancer cell with chains of Vitronectin. We didn’t fully understand its significance, but we knew it symbolized the heroic struggle that, unfortunately, many children have to go through, and that’s how we wanted to portray it.

The movement is led by: Nico’s mother (Ángeles Leal Freire) and aunts (Beatriz and Patricia Leal Freire). As an action dependent on the NEN Association whose main objective is to finance research projects against childhood cancer, and more specifically solid tumors. In addition, we are a movement supported by the NEN Association.

My name is Nico. I am a child from Ourense who wants to share my story with you. Since I am sure that if you know it you will realize how important childhood cancer research is. That if up to now you had not considered collaborating it is simply because no one had told you how important your involvement was. At 9 months I was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma estIII. My family became very sad and nervous and began to investigate.

Childhood cancer is rare. As well as the lack of interest from the pharmaceutical industry. Developmental cancer represents less than 1% of adult cancer.
