This blog

I found my writing while publishing in an old blog (Ciudad del Pico). The site was active for about 10 years, from 2006 to 2016, and from then on it was no longer updated. I realized that what I had accumulated in there no longer fit what I wanted to create.

Circa 2015 I started to work on a graphic novel, which is still not ready, but can be partially read at http://abismos.com/en. By the end of 2018, I moved to another country and matured the idea of creating a new space and finally retire the old blog.

Ciudad Del Pico remained active until the end of 2019. I intend to re-edit some of its texts and poems to this new format, dryer, more grounded.

If you are interested in illustration, you can also find me at Behance, DeviantArt and Instagram.
