A few hours ago I found myself making the half year cleaning of my bedroom-studio. Thera was a time when it was a "quarterly cleaning" (or even a "montly cleaning") but the tedious nature of the cleaning process; take things out from their place, clean the dust, and put them in the right place again, combined with the growing responsabilities of the college student life style finally turned this activity in a "twice a year" activity. But, actually, I could reduce the time I spent making all of this if I could avoid leafing through every comic, manga, and book before placing them again.

So there I was, with "AKIR CLUB" trough my hands, reading a large series of questions made to Katsuhiro Otomo between 1982 and 1990. As every interview questionary, it was full of both stupid and interesting questions, so taking away the stupid ones, the interesting answers of Otomo about his life and his work just trapped me cause I felt like if had given some of his answers like sleeping as a priority after finishing an important work, hating stupid common things on tv, watching the missing movies on the free time, sleeping few hours per night... all indicates that the path to become a manga god is full of sleepless nights, fast food and sporadic free time.

In other time I also felt identified with Masashi Kishimoto when reading his biography and found that both, Kishimoto and me were and still are fans of Toriyama and Otomo, and so he wanted to write and draw an innovator and original story when he was young just like I am now with the same purpose. Some time ago I also reviewed R. Crumb's bio, and I can tell I found a couple of things in common, but maybe not the "better" ones... Anyway, all indicates I'm doing well, not as well as them of course, but... hey! I must take a look to Sergio Aragones's too!

In the other hand there are my deviant idols: Sandara, and Imaginism between others, whose works also encourage me to practice more and more so I can become a better artist, to all of them, (if you read this some day) Thank You.

Every artist has his own style, I have my own, so I don´t want to be better than anybody but the best in my own style!
