Be-the-real-me

Born and raised in Bogota, Colombia, Ernesto graduated as a Bachelor of Fine Arts in the Emily Carr University class of 2017. His illustrator debut Chins and Elbows and Knees by Canadian author Marilyn Browning became available in 2020 for online purchase. He is presently collaborating as part of Unspeakable Text—a comic anthology series by New York-based writer Ryan Haack.

Ernesto’s approach towards art and storytelling takes inspiration from both Western and Eastern cultures. His other projects include an original story under the working title of ‘Seigi no Heishi’, and the illustrated adaptation of Los Segundos Dias. The latter being a short story by Colombian-based creative copywriter Daniel Carreno Leon.
