Mofongo to share

What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
So far this year I've had a bit of everything: I drew a book, I've been putting things together for Grupo de Autoayuda de Dibujo, I published the comic “Tuna Cake”, and in general drawing a lot for an exhibition I had together with David Espinosa “El Dee” which was called “Comics will break your heart”. Just in August 2025 was the closing of the same within the space of Young Collectors in CDMX (the project that helped us make the expo exist) and then pop-up assembly within DOLOR LOCAL, an incredible art-graphics and publications bazaar in Guadalajara. I think this is the graphic art project I've dedicated the most time to in recent months, and where I've generated the most original work in a while.

What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on it?
In general, that exhibition and the comic are about doing more things, simply seeking to feel aligned with my work and my ideas and not relying on or seeking feedback from social media or the internet. I didn't actually publish much of the work I did this year on social media, partly because everything I do has lived largely on the internet for years, and I like the idea of ​​having things that don't exist: that only exist outside of that place, in a physical space.

What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
Identity, calm and re-connection.

Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
Ice Haven by Daniel Clowes, the 70s and 80s Muppet movies and the book How to write one song by Jeff Tweedy.

What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process? 
The most challenging, yet enjoyable, aspect of my latest work is reconnecting with analog and manual processes. I really enjoy going to my studio to draw and work things out with the materials and tools I have there.

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?
I go often to Beto Beto in CDMX, I suggest ordering the birria sandwich.

If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?
The film would be called Mofongo to share and the soundtrack would be the album Payola by Desaparecidos.

Recommend us an artist you follow who inspires you, and tell us what you like most about their work or their way of working.
I recommend the work of Raúl Pardo, someone who I think has a genuine, cool, and honest illustration style, and who I work and collaborate with constantly. I have the honor of being able to call him my friend, and I always think that the artists who inspire me the most outside of what I see in books and the internet are those with whom I've been able to work closely. All I know is because I draw alongside very talented and valuable people who contribute to me as an artist and as a human being. Raúl is undoubtedly one of those people.
