Ines: I don't know. Everyone asks me that, and they all think I'm foreign. "Where are you visiting from?" Once it was free day for Mexicans at the anthropology museum and they wouldn't let me in, and then my friend Emanuel wasn't helping at all telling them, "Don't believe her, I know she's from Belgium." I had to show them my ID. My grandparents were from different places around here, Tlacotalpan, Campeche, Mexico City… so I guess we must be from some old Spanish descend or something like that.My editor thinks you look like the old children in Akira. What do you think about that?
Haaaa that's so coooool I want to make myself into a giant toy of toys and scare people too gruhugrh.
It's like a giant horrible-smelling pudding with lots of sparkly colorful chips. Street markets everywhere, lots of people everywhere, and neighboorhoods in which you have extreme poverty on one side of the street, and right across, giant houses of extreme riches. It's horrible and beautiful at the same time. Everyone is lazy and we like to party all the time!!! And eat delicious things.What's your take on Speedy Gonzalez?
He's pretty stupid. Slowpoke Rodriguez knew what's up.
It was really nice, and whenever I go to the states I feel like I'm in an amusement park because everything is so signalized and clean. Everyone who works in food things is Mexican so I talked to them in Spanish, but they answered to me in English pretending they didn't know a thing. That was weird, I guess they felt bad I was there all touristy and they're there working their backs off in some shitty job…

…Aren't you going to ask me about my drawings?Fine! Tell me about your drawings!
I draw all the time with anything I have in hand and if I don't have any I go around looking for funny shapes in things. Right now I'm really into making books and booklet zine things.. and putting stickers in my drawings!
Aawhhhhhh I love cats! I love animals in general. Whenever I pass by a dog or cat I go all awwww, melting in cuteness stupidity. I reaaaally like them, I dont know why, though I would never have one. Having a pet is like a having a furry kid that will never grow up and you will always have to pick up his shit and hairs. So instead of having one I draw a lots of them!When will you dump your boyfriend, Roi, for me?
I don't think any time soon.Maybe we just kill him together and split the profits then, huh?
Thanks for the idea! Roi and I should be doing that to you instead.

Hehehe you think I make cute things…I think it's both. I draw about things I see everyday, and things I see in my dreams.I'd like to live in a hole in the ground with snow and visible stars at night, and few people, or maybe no people. An Arctic burrow with all the delicious South American fruits growing around, Oaxacan embroidered blankets, and Chiapan woollen animals that would talk.
They're our bastard kids. Roi sews them and we stuff them and paint them together. We have a lot of fun doing them and hanging around looking for textiles, buttons and whatever other shit we think we can put to them. We just bought this big colored numbers you can iron on and I'm so excited to try them!This is the comic we were maybe going to run yesterday but didn't.
