Reviews
A course by Javier Casas "Moscko"
Javier Casas, better known as "Moscko", studied graphic design at the Jorge Tadeo Lozano University in Bogotá (Colombia). Since he has memory he draws and never lost his habit. During his academic training as a designer he always had a particular interest in illustration as a language or communication element.
Since 2010 he works in his own studio creating creative strategies through design, illustration and painting for companies, agencies, magazines, studios, digital media and videogames. His academic training has given him an interpretation and personal appropriation of the image, about which he tries to leave his mark. Currently, more than a graphic designer, illustrator or artist, he defines himself as a creator of visual dreams.

I absolutely loved all of the experimental techniques shared in this course and what I found especially useful were the tips on high quality giclée printing. Highly recommended.!
