Camilo A. Triana C.: Happy Holidays 2011 - 2012

Friends and colleagues, received a fraternal embrace this holiday season and New Year, I hope that those who devote themselves to the work of thinking through drawing or the drawing reflect (to look for a decent job as the old saying hehehe) what keep doing and getting better.
Do not forget the other, Jesus said, "do not do to anyone what you do not want done to yourself," in other words means treating the other as he deserves, like yourself.
I think I want them so much.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Theme in PORTOCARTO​ON 2012 : "The rich, the poor, the protester"

The times of "crisis" are not democratic.
Inequality increases, even if solidarity is not decreasing.
Only humor can bring order to the world!
Therein is the reason for the proposed theme for the PortoCartoon 2012:
“The rich, the poor, the protester”.
It is hoped a “Tsunan of indignation”?
Are we looking for new kinds of democracy?
We shall see.
But the clues are released to the excellence of the universal humour.
These are challenges for the cartoonists’ pencils.
*
The jury (chaired by George Wolinski) will choose the best works for PortoCartoon 2012!
The opportunity reinforces our wishes of a Happy New Year!
*
Come then storms of humour!
Be indignant dignifying the art!
Luís Humberto Marcos,
Director PortoCartoon
