Rafael Altamirano, aka Guero, was born in the small town of Tampico, Mexico on April 12th, 1978. Growing up, he always had a deep passion for drawing and art. He  began pulling in a good amount of experience from whatever source was available: television, magazines, comic books or newspapers.

 

    Moving to Chicago, Illinois at the age of 10, he realized that he had to pursue his dreams and do what he could to become a professional artist. 

 

    With an eye for detail and always striving to catch the eye with his style, whether traditional cartoons or more realistic illustrations or even the Japanese art of anime, his dynamic designs and playfully animated technique lend themselves perfectly to any medium that is available.
