Mauricio Buitrago

In school he developed his passion for cartooning at an early age. Soon after graduating from high school, he discovered his ability to bring to life his drawings through hand crafting cardboard and foam; this led him to design window displays for the local retail stores. Before long, he became well known and was engaged in several projects working on props for important events throughout the city. During that same period he was contacted by an editorial company from Miami, Florida, which needed cartoons and illustrations for their monthly publication, this was the platform for the beginning of a career in the U.S.
