Front: Fácil recordar el pobre escenario de una vida cargada de nostalgia por el bienestar de otro, extraños seres capaces de robar el aliento más considerado. Antes de estos dibujos mi existencia tranquila se tornaba cruda, directa, detestable dentro de los pobres entramados de mi cultura del hambre. Suelo conquistar la calle con los pies sudorosos y cansados de tanto deseo por conquistas pírricas.
