Ricardo Banguero

Illustrator

Cali, Colombia
I'm a professional illustrator from the land of delicious coffee. As a Graphic Designer, my academic training, talent, and labor have focused on the creation of practical ideas in visual art areas. I work with different techniques and styles, cartoons, portraits, children's books, and everything that can be imagined, before illustration I started my career as a graphic designer, working for the graphic design industry in Colombian agencies, nowadays I drive my job as a freelance illustrator working perfectly inside a team or individually.
