We spoke to artist Gary Baseman, limitless creator and father of a world that bears his signature. We could define him as an illustrator, until what he draws comes to life and can be touched, embraced and lived. That is why Gary Baseman not only illustrates or designs, he also creates an entire universe that surrounds him and those who follow him. Do not miss the interview in which he tells us more about himself, his projects and his way of life, always attached to a sketchbook: A universe in infinite formats Gary Baseman has spent his entire career showing his bittersweet view of life through his characters. Toby, Blackie the
Cat and many other characters that balance between animal and human personality are the inhabitants of that magical world that lives in the notebooks and in Gary's heart. One of the artist's greatest merits is that he has been able to transfer them from paper to a multitude jewelry retouching service of stages, always maintaining their essence and personality. Thus we have been able to see stuffed dolls of Toby and his friends, art installations about Blackie and the purr, books and even personalized clothing.
