Garavato

Most artists spend the early years of their careers fighting for recognition, striving to make their names known. But Colombian artist Tavo took a different path. In 2006, he stopped using his legal name, choosing instead to create art as GARAVATO. Since then, he has concealed his identity—no personal details, no photographs. Nothing to get in the way of his passions.

Some kids grow up on cartoons. Kory McGeehan grew up on skate deck graphics and photocopied show fliers.
