Vinícius Xavier is a multimedia artist who lives in São Paulo, draws comic strips for social networks, and works in the children's literature market. For 20 days in October, he will create 'caipiratober', his version for the traditional Inktober. He will be creating illustrations of imaginary rural scenes, with magical, folkloric elements and textures that remind us of country life. In this Live, he illustrates a children’s character in a countryside context whilst answering questions from the audience about illustration.
