Reviews
A course by Samuel Castaño
Samuel Castaño is an illustrator and graphic designer from Medellín. And despite having lived in other parts of the world, that is where he really finds the inspiration to create his works.
He began doing illustrations for magazines, newspapers and other media, but it was thanks to a self-publication called "Imperfections" that he made the leap into the publishing world. In recent years he has worked for publishers in Colombia, Mexico and Spain, such as Penguin RH, Alfaguara, Tragaluz, Juventud, Ekaré, SM, A buen paso, Castillo, Norma, among others.
