Liniers

Ricardo Liniers Siri is a cartoonist from Argentina better known simply as Liniers, one of his last names. He began his career publishing fanzines before making the leap to the national press with the comic strip Bonjour in the newspaper Página 12. Since 2002, he's been publishing comics strips daily in La Nación and on a weekly basis for El País in Spain.

He has published more than 30 books in 17 countries around the world. His illustrations have been featured in many formats, from album covers for Kevin Johansen, Andrés Calamaro, and Marcelo Ezquiaga to covers for the prestigious magazine The New Yorker. His work has also been displayed in countries such as Brazil, Peru, Spain, and the United States in the 2018 Society of Illustrators exhibit.

When he's not drawing comics, he collaborates on projects with other artists and friends, such as live painting at Kevin Johansen concerts and an illustrated stand up show with illustrator Alberto Montt. He also cofounded the publishing house Editorial Común with his wife Angie.

As a culmination of his career, he won the Eisner Award (the "Illustrators' Oscar") and the Inkpot Award at the 2018 Comic-Con held in California.
