  • A small problem for Jan

    One year ago i saw a video explaining how an astronaut cuts his nails on space that the ISS commander did. After Janwatching the video i graved my «crazy ideas» notebook and thought of several methods to make clipping your nails in space less messy with tools and items that could be found on board of the space station. One of them seemed quite easy to build even at home so i did and tried if it was comfortable to use, turns out it was. Then i just left it a side and went to do other things until a month ago i thought i could do a short tale with it. So, I did the instructions and then a few drawings with a few short sentences an named the main character after a comic artist from my childhood, then i added a bad joke  and chosed a title and Tadaa! I had a new very short story.

  • El Saltador de universos

    El saltador de universosNo soy un mimo, aunque mi piel sea de color blanco neutro, mi sonrisa enorme y mi ropa extravagante.
    No tengo ningún nombre y a la vez tengo muchos.
    No soy de ningún sitio y a la vez soy de todas partes.
    Yo era un saltimbanqui, un vagabundo, un trota-caminos, acróbata, bailador de claqué y saltador de universos.
    Todos los universos están en el mismo lugar, para que te hagas una idea los universos son como las matrioskas solo que todas ocurriendo en el mismo tiempo y en el mismo espacio a la vez. Los saltadores de universos cambian de un universo a otro a cada salto que dan. La mayoría de la gente vive solo en un universo porque no pueden ver los otros aunque estén en el mismo espacio, de hecho la mayoría caminan cruzándose con versiones de ellos mismos en otros universos sin darse cuenta porque no pueden ver lo que pasa en los demás universos.

  • Tribute to Mordillo

    mordillo by cleef hangerOnce upon a time there was a little 4 years old kid  with a Samaniego’s fables book.

    The little fellow didn’t like the fables so much but the book was read again and again forward and backwards over the years until the hard covers were tattered and the book was given away to another kid when the kid was no longer a kid.

    What drew the attention of the little one were the pictures of the book, the colors where clear and clean instead of the flashy and overloaded that all the other children books were full off. The child got old but didn’t grew up and one day the old one while writing and painting thought ‘Where’s that book!?» but the book was no longer around since it was given away, but it didn’t mattered to the old fellow since now fairy tales and illustrations its what that one does all the time forwards and backwards and sometimes upwards! So, the old kid just draw the cover of that book in its own style and having fun and even when it wasn’t the best work of the child that didn’t grew up but got old it wasn’t a matter ‘cause another drawings will be made and one day, maybe another little kid will draw what the old kid draw once.
