There’s a photo pinned to the inside of my house’s door that my girl put there, of what I imagine is an inner view of Casa Batlló.

I’ve never been there, as it is in Barcelona and I’ve never been to Barcelona. But the weird and wonderful arrange of tiles and shades of blue twisting on those warped balconies made me think not only the amazing places I don’t know, but also the creativity you can put in anything you do. That house is the work of Gaudí, but if you can do something that looks like that out of a house, imagine what you could do with a blank sheet of paper.

So this is the was I begin my 2012. Good luck!

May the warmth of our desires keep us happy and in company of those who fuel them.

This is one of the last illustrations of 2011. Inspired by the colors and themes of CIPPEC’s publications, I felt like trying something in that simple and bold style, which was intended to sum up and empower the text, which is usually long form and articulated.
