Lucas Gattoni
Sit down with Argentina-based letterer Lucas Gattoni as we discuss what the Lower Your Sights project means to him, his contribution to the anthology, and his thoughts on the unifying power of art.
Q: What does this project mean to you?
Lucas: As a creator from Argentina, it means a rare opportunity to contribute to a great pro-childhood cause, even from the distance.
Q: What is your contribution to Lower Your Sights? (Short Story, Pinup, Etc.)
Lucas: I lettered two short stories: A Toy’s Tale of War, and No Time to Grieve.
Q: In addition to supplying food and essential supplies, Voices of Children also provides art therapy to help kids cope and overcome the stress, anxiety, and trauma of living in war conditions. Do you believe art has the power to heal?
Lucas: I totally do! Especially true for little kids who might struggle to put those feelings into words, they can do so through art much more naturally.
