“… Marla Cruz Linares created a magical scene full of music and laughter for the feature, A Vegetarian's Christmas Eve Pig Roast. I am obsessed with the energy of this illustration and would have loved to be invited to this Cuban Noche Buena Pig Roast in Miami. Marla captured the idea of the feature perfectly, and her composition and line work are so enticing.”
