Aglio & Olio

My Story

When I was around 6 to 8 I always loved creating Paintings, Music, Writing stories, and Crafting anything that had to do with your hands. But with a creative imagination, I created worlds as well as stories. Being diagnosed with type one diabetes was difficult at the age of 7, but my positivity never left. For 9 years controlled my diabetes, at 16 I wrote the first 3 scenes of Aglio And Olio's First Adventure, then spent 3 years going from one publishing house to another, then went by myself. At 19 my father, a friend, and I took my first trip to Europe crossing the Atlantic in a boat for 14 days arriving in Rome, Italy. then traveling around Europe, we ended up in Venice for 2 weeks and there I felt like the family I'd created had welcomed me with ideas and sciences because I was truly home.

The Illustrator

Gustavo Desimone lives in Argentina, finding his talent of choosing and creating scenes of abstract beauty and color was amazing the first manuscript I sent him he said it was the first time that he knew how the characters were going to look like it was like telepathy because my vision was his.
