Mr Kern, whose real name is Mathias Liniado, (Buenos Aires, 1981) is a comic book artist, illustrator and graffiti artist.

He studied applied arts in Bordeaux and Barcelona (La Llotja School). Heir to influences as diverse as the underground comics of the 80s, surrealist painting, urban art or the work of Diego de Velázquez.
