When I started blogging my drawings I was working in small bound books (Moleskines), one drawing a day: bound drawings that somehow maintained a daily narrative, inseparable from their collective physical context. As time went on, the drawings became more complex and more enmeshed in an on-going thought process. They start one day and finish whenever they finish and I work in several sketchbooks at the same time, of various sizes. And the pages are now removable.
I work with internal (anatomy, a continuing fascination) and external (flux of experience and environment). And, over the last 10 years I’ve been experimenting with in-image captions, more and more in Spanish.

The rain stopped: we're sick, but we're going out. Sarandí Montevideo. (We both came down with truly evil colds the day after the mugging, and that with the aches and pains resulting from our struggle with the theif left us very low. We had to take to the street, at least briefly, just to show we still could.)
