A pleasure and a challenge in equal parts.

An illustrator of this level cannot have a generic website. Diego Latorre has worked for Marvel, DC Comics, Wildstorm, and MTV, and his work has such a powerful visual identity that any wrong design decision competes with the content rather than enhancing it. Therefore, the portfolio had to "disappear" so the illustration could shine.

The concept was radical: absolute black and white as a neutral state, with color activating only upon selecting an illustration or playing a video. The artwork rules
