drawing Nostalgia

I started doing cartoons when I was about 11 or 12 years, and then I thought my future was drawing final. Squared because notebooks bought them I was faster and orderly draw cartoons, draw and kept for nights. I became well known for the characters in my comics for those school years, in Talcahuano.

One day in 1992 came Werlinger Nielsen, one of my classmates who shared the artistic taste (what will become of him?) To congratulate me for having published a cartoon in the children's supplement of the newspaper El Sur, La Ronda de los Sapos, coming out on Sundays. I looked at him with a surprised face and said outright that he had not brought anything to the newspaper. Shortly thereafter, the "Pilsen" arrived with a newspaper clipping. It was like a punch in the stomach: in fact it was a strip of three or four vignettes with characters clearly and suspiciously similar to my story and had not drawn me. I felt robbed.

Soon I made the appropriate inquiries and went to Santiago to do what he had to do: register the intellectual property of my characters in my name. I returned to the Bio-Bio, and substantial evidence of ownership in my hands, as it was not so much the paper stating that Law No. 17,336 I covered in cases of plagiarism, as if it was the sheer amount of comics that brought ended , and started to talk personally nothing more and nothing less than the Editor of Diario El Sur, which was then a Mr. called Marcelo Sandoval. Stunned, I was right in my deep feeling of having been stolen, he gave me the name of the plagiarist, that this was another partner in the same classroom was very quiet and had everything, and in return he invited me to publish in La Ronda de los Sapos my own drawings. Published comics, stories and even on occasion the cover drawing of the supplement. While both mono stopped publishing me because, according to Mr. Sandoval told me himself, the official artist would have been spent to bring (¿?).

I continued with my comics until 1995. Upon entering high school turned around in my style and I got into the human figure and illustration in graphic novels from 80 to 200 pages, as usual. By the way, greatly improved the technique of drawing, but my old characters fell almost into oblivion. Until now.

The above drawing I did a few days using only the very basic Windows Paint program. I'm quite older, but retain the enthusiasm, imagination and love for my work as a kid. I hope to have the time to get to scratch and get a good product.
