His head was always full of birds. As time went by, they reproduced, and along came a lot of different kinds of creatures, making a great noise—squawks, grunts and screams… so he decided to transfer them into paper to silence them. He keeps a deal with his drawings: they live thanks to him and he lives from them. Because of this symbiosis, more than thirty illustrated books behind him stand up for him to testify that his thing in life is drawing. Day by day, and every other night, he continues to perfect spiral and rectilinear shapes to keep fit without losing shape. Watercolor fights a great battle with the marker to have a leading role on its cardboard.

"A hymn to freedom, to the pursuit of happiness, to the importance of chasing our dreams, to the courage to follow, and to equality." —Apegoyliteratura
