Celebrating Quino's 90th birthday
Quino was an Argentine cartoonist who created the iconic comic strip Mafalda, providing a voice for Latin America in times of political instability and censorship.
Google reached out to me to create this Doodle. I wanted to portray Quino creating the memorable world we all knew through his strips. I went through his self portraits and got inspired by the way he used to represent himself: focused, drawing, at his desk with paper sheets, pencils and his lamp.
From the beginning I pictured this Doodle black and white. I thought it’ll be a way to quickly evoke Quino’s strips. I also wanted to include some Mafalda references for readers to discover in the final piece!
