Nico is a good friend of mine and a colleague who is a creative artist, puppeteer, creator, fashionista and in general, a very interesting person. Today we discuss about children books of Jairo Buitrago, Rafael Yockteng (Camino a casa), Shaun Tan, and David McKee (Not now, Bernard). Nico shared some observations about the hidden meaning behind illustrations and how illustrations complement texts. Even if children books are not your main interest, come and listen as we touch on some fine Latin American literature, as well as Nico's puppets, projects, his Colombian heritage, and he also shares some inspiring thoughts about what it means for him to be an artist. Enjoy! :-)
