Jorge Luis Gabotto - I am an Argentine illustrator and writer, I was born in a tourist city off the Atlantic coast, Mar Del Plata. I have always liked to narrate, and I did it whenever I had the opportunity, from telling a movie, singing a song or simply telling a joke. The comic, for me, is the concretion of many arts together, a stylistic peak that combines several languages for the narrative. The comic is drawing, a plastic expression evocative of techniques such as perspective, color management, the human figure, etc. And the comic is literature, narrative, climates, tensions and beauty in words. The comic is cinema, it is movement, it is lights and cameras that play roles from the reader-spectator complicity. Are a lot of things. I approach you with the intention of introducing you to something of my world, because by making stories it is impossible to get rid of ourselves.
