There is a key figure of the latest milestones for Real Sociedad who does not dress short but also has creativity, quality and skill of his own. This is Champions level. This is the architect of San Sebastian Mikel Soro (1986), better known as Marrazketabar, which is part of some of the club hits that he describes and colors the club, from Barcelona, where he lives with his partner.
It all started as a hobby after my degree and no job, but for a few months now it’s his way of life. “Things got serious, yes,” he told MD. After all, he didn’t know if he would ever return to practice as an architect. At the moment, it is not known which house it is, but it has its own exhibition, and where and in the middle of the Anoeta stadium, in the Ernest Lluch Kultur Etxea. Since last Monday, the 12th, you can enjoy for free all the work of the club’s official cartoonist, designer of the amazing team bus and, of course, creator of the mascot of the moment: txurdin. “Silly you start to think and there are many drawings already during all these years,” he commented. He admitted to MD that several times he had sketches made of players who sounded and didn’t show up. “They don’t give me information, when I read you I started to do.” But he said he usually prefers to wait until he knows more about the player and he has something special, “like ‘no zuruno party’, the king Candle…”
It all started with ‘Txarly’
Soro recalls his first job, shortly after promotion, with the team heading for the Champions League. I made a caricature of carlos martinez. Looking at it now, the drawing is regular but I want to recognize it and that’s it, and the important thing is the message: ‘I’ll admit it, I’m left-handed’. I sent it to Zubieta and he loved it and I even sold them outside the stadium using a rope from lamp post to lamp post. It’s surreal because 10 years later I have an exhibition there”.
The other two works that stand out are the most different and amazing. On one hand, txurdin, which he was very proud of. “It makes me sick just looking at it. I didn’t think of him as a pet when I started drawing him. I thought that in Gipuzkoa, because of our situation, I would not flirt much. But if. I refined it a bit because the first drawing was less politically correct (laughs). Received and all is well. He still trolls Cristiano Ronaldo with Aitor Zabaleta Grada. I also liked that the kids came up with the name, it never crossed my mind and it was a perfect name”.
Then the bus, black. “We were looking for something wonderful, because Leipzig came with a cool company of bulls and they asked me for something like this. I told them, to see if it works, that txuri urdin will stand out more in black. And they liked it. Many times I proposed things to them with fear and they were more crazy than me”, he laughed.

Marrazketabar warned that he had great things done for the future “that cannot be revealed”, and he was also clear about what he wanted to do that he did not do. “I’m lucky to be in a good phase, with two titles. I would like to design a tifo in a European semifinal or final, and attend, of course”.
