Cartoonist and Painter

I've been an artist since as long as I can remember.

Hobbling in the pitch black darkness in the hallways of my house, feeling my way through it, trying to find my mother’s bedroom, never quitting until I could feel her smooth face with my hands. This little scenario happened every night as a child of 2 and half years old. I was supposed to sleep next my grandmother, but I wanted to sleep next to my mother. And what I figured out was that even though I couldn’t see her face, I could touch it to know that it’s not my mother.
