illustrations Miguel Tanco
Badajoz (Spain)
He starts his life as a childrenÂ’s illustrator when he leaves the sunny city of Sevilla, in which university he studied, and cross the Atlantic Ocean to reach the Big Apple. He lives there a superhero life, working in an office during the daytime and transforming himself at night with a scarf, a hat and a coat -January in New York is very cold- to study illustration at School of Visual Arts.
There he meets other young and old superheroes. These last ones tell him their old battles and teach him how to throw himself into childrenÂ’s illustration world before learning to fly.
He has developed illustration workshops with the great superheroes Octavia Mónaco, Linda Wolfsgruber and Beatrice Alemagna. Currently he’s moved his superhero life to Milan.
Selected in the Mostra degli Ilustratori at Bologna ChildrenÂ’s Book Fair in 2010, the most prestigious exhibition of childrenÂ’s and young peopleÂ’s literature, heÂ’s also featured some editions in Andersen Magazine (Italy) and DPI Magazine (Taiwan).
Media: Mixed, acrylics, oil, watercolours, collage, monotype.
