Argentinian cartoonist, illustrator and comic book artist Lucas Nine was born in 1975 in Buenos Aires, where he studied Fine Arts and Cinema. His comics and illustrations have been published in numerous magazines and exhibited in shows in Argentina, Spain, Brazil and the Bologna Book Fair. His latest book El Circo Criollo, a revisitation of the Argentine popular circus tradition, was published by Ediciones del Eclipse in 2009. I am really impressed by the bold, spontaneous style and expressive brushwork of Lucas' illustrative work.

Still from Les Triolets
Lucas is the son of the multitalented and very imaginative artist Carlos Nine. The two collaborated in the production of Les Triolets. This wild animated short was shown at various international festivals, including Annecy and Castelli Animati. You can watch a compressed version of it here.
