Liniers is currently living in Vermont palling around CCS where he continues to work and lives with his family. He published ten volumes of Macanudo, his newspaper comic in Argentina, in Spanish. The first three are also available in English (Enchanged Lion Books). He has published two other children’s books through TOON Books, with editions in both Spanish and English: Written and Drawn by Henrietta (2015) and The Big Wet Balloon (2013).
MOCCA is a 2-day comics fest in Manhattan hosted by the Society of Illustrators. The fest draws over 7,000 attendees and includes over 400 exhibitors. Liniers is a charming cartoonist, learning about public speaking when he began to paint comics live on stage while a friend of his played music.
