Enrique "Kike" Estrada is a cartoonist for a species that is endangered in Puerto Rico. It's the kind of cartoonist who seeks to make his drawings and comments humorous, yet poignant, about the events that occur in Puerto Rican society.
His work has been exhibited in Greece, Argentina, Serbia, Germany and the United States, plus Puerto Rico. He has published at least two comic books, but the best way to get your work is through its website www.planetakike.com .
He received me very kindly to talk about cartoons and the Internet at home, which has its graphic design studio and its own garden, where trying to get as much food as possible for your kitchen.
Kike started talking a little about how to choose the themes he develops in his drawings:
Kike Estrada
"Another increase in the water"
"Share ..."
"How many more?"
"My ballot"

He received me very kindly to talk about cartoons and the Internet at home, which has its graphic design studio and its own garden, where trying to get as much food as possible for your kitchen.
Kike started talking a little about how to choose the themes he develops in his drawings:
Kike EstradaKike Estrada (KE): Before I draw every day reacting to things that happened in Puerto Rico. [...] Well, since I do not draw that kind of thing. There is a moment where I thought that instead of doing it well I was doing was wrong because of the noise rather than part of the solutions. And then I left it as a bit of work. When I picked up now, then, drawing more than things that are very relevant in Puerto Rico, but I try not relevant to Puerto Ricans, that is, trying to work the issues rather than situations. [...] I know I would have a claim for specific draw of the day, but there is so much noise about these things, which add noise is unhealthy.But Kike was not always in the habit of drawing cartoons. His artistic work was occupied mostly with his work as a graphic designer and for a time did not produce cartoons:
"Another increase in the water"KE: Do you know when I came back to draw cartoons? I returned to drawing cartoons on the day you put the two planes on the Twin Towers. [...] I put the TV. When I saw that a second plane was giving a tower, I said, "You fucked up the world. The world changed today. " And that caused me anxiety so fucking hand, I started drawing. [...] I went crazy drawing. And from there I have not stopped.For a cartoonist who has a sense of humor, irony and satire that is Kike, and ability to find and highlight the ridiculousness of some of the issues affecting Puerto Ricans, the Internet has proven to be the perfect medium to expose their job. In an area where it is the only editor found freedom to express views that in another time or otherwise would have been almost impossible to express:
"Share ..."KE: As I am a graphic designer, there was a time where we begin to learn the Internet because the world had changed, and customers did before I had to press releases or things, because everyone now wanted to have a presence on the Internet. So we were learning about it. And I said, "Well, I'm going to do a page from my job." And it was really cool because it is not objectionable. I mean, I do what I want to do there, and I say what I mean here.However, Kike does not see himself as someone who knows the picture of the cartoon. According to him, his contribution to the cartoons lies less in the quality of his drawings, but rather on what is trying to say:
"How many more?"KE: I am a member of the Association of Cartoonists of [Puerto Rico]. There are some young brats who are virtuosos, hand [...] In my case, I'm not a virtuoso. I am solely as an artist sui generis . I do not draw well. I draw wrong. What happens is that I developed a way to draw bad I like how it looks.About being a cartoonist for newspapers and how they have been gradually disappearing, said:
KE: I think that newspapers have been doing without the services of the cartoonists because cartoonists can hurt you more than a photo.Kike sees the Internet as a resource that cartoonists should use more. For him, the Internet is of the best inventions that have been made. He marvels at the possibilities that this tool offers to users. Thanks to the Internet, you may continue the work of the cartoonist to the disappearance of space in traditional print newspapers. In addition, the Internet removes the filter through which all work has to happen in a traditional newspaper. But the benefits of the Internet are not limited to cartoonists:
"My ballot"KE: The Internet has been good because it has given voice to him who had no voice. How the hell I had been able to show my drawings if there were no Internet? Would a graphic package that no one had seen there because there was no outlet, the Internet gives you the output. And that's why you have to teach everyone the Internet. We must teach them to program pages and design their own things and then say the nonsense that they like to say, or do the geniuses that they like to do, but that people have the option to hold the Internet as the most accessible we have.
