Entrecomics reports on a Spanish project involving illustrative artists and cartoonists illustrating poems. They cite examples by Johan De Moor (above) and Joost Swarte, but (as far as I understand the text – I can do a wild guess when it comes to Spanish) there’s supposed to be a lot more.
I like this kind of endeavours. They bring good cartooning under the attention of different audiences, and they encourage cartoonists to do different things and stay creative.
