Leo |
| Whose work inspires you the most (Artistic influences, favorite illustrator): |
Dave McKean (Sandman), Yoshitaka Amano (The Sandman: The Dream Hunters), John Waterhouse, Fara Manuel, Bleps Carlos, Manix Abrera, Liz Raņola and my mother (when I was just four) |
| Favorite Children's books (and why): |
1) Wolves in the Walls - a book with an eerie feel, it is dark and serious, but the fact that it's a children's book made it my favorite. 2) Og Uhog - Og reminds me of my snotty classmate back in kindergarten. Og is really disgusting and that made the book one of my favorites. Hehe. 3)Peter Pan - Like Pan, I don't want the inevitable--to grow up. He's just fortunate because he has Neverland. |
| Reasons why you illustrate for kids: |
Kids are happy unprejudiced creatures. They look at the world with wide eyes. It's like everything fascinates them. They are eager to learn and discover new things, hence, the extreme curiosity. I would like to contribute to that and tickle their minds with my illustrations. |

mixing alcomaholic drinks |
