Does karma exist?


I don't know. I am actually quite skeptic but I'm about to become a believer. On the same day my bike was nicked I got a commission from The Barbican. Both things happened completely out of nowhere.

After having failed chasing the hoodie that grabbed my bike while I was sketching in Victoria Park I promised myself I'd leave London soon. However, shortly after I got home I saw the email from The Barbican. Why? They said it was the illustration about my dog they liked. Was it one last gift from Gomez? I don't know, but I'm immensely grateful.

My job is for Barbican website. I am illustrating memories posted by anonymous people for the promotion of an upcoming opera called After Life by Michel van der Aa. This one on the other hand, is actually my flatmate Yuki's memory. Hope you like it!

  1. brutal este dibujo. soy fan. en cuanto al karma, no lo sé, la verdad, pero cuando me mudé aqui al principio entraban un par de avispas al baño cada dia haciendome sufrir (fobia total a los insectos). un dia entraron alrededor de 30 avispas (medio muriendo, por un spray que echabamos) cuando me queria duchar y claro no pude, pero al volver de clase me encontré un billete de cinco libras en el suelo. not bad.

  2. gracias clara :)
    El karma da miedo cuando te toca la buena suerte sin que te haya pasado nada malo...
    Deberias pasarte un dia por la Wellcome Collection, cerca de Euston Station. Tienen cosas muy bizarras entre ellas cuadros españoles de milagros (muy dudosos).
    Tienen cosas desagradables, you're warned!
