Artist Jorge Lacera was born in Barranquilla, Colombia, and grew up in Miami, Florida drawing in sketchbooks, on napkins, on walls, and anywhere his parents would let him.
After graduating with honors from Ringling College of Art and Design, Jorge began working as a visual development and concept artist for major gaming studios and entertainment companies. He's now an Art Director!
As a big fan of pop culture, comics, and monster movies, Jorge rarely saw Latinx kids as the heroes or leads. He is committed to changing that, especially now that he has a son. He is a co-founder of #LatinxPitch (www.latinxpitch.com). In addition to his co-created books with Megan Lacera, Jorge is the illustrator of Xo, Exoplanet and the Fairy Tale Fixers series (both written by Deborah Underwood).
Jorge currently lives in Redwood Shores, California.
