John is an illustrator and painter from Colombia. He lives there with his wife Ana and two children, Avril and Ian. He is fortunate enough to work in his home studio, where he can share his passion for drawing and painting with his children while working on projects. He started drawing at an early age and when he was six years old, his parents enrolled him in his first painting, sculpture, and character design class. When not illustrating, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing soccer with friends, watching movies, reading, writing, and traveling. He has had the opportunity to bring to life Characters, Scenes, and diverse worlds in several articles in magazines and newspapers; funny ideas on children's books, and animation projects around the globe.
