Me da pena ver mi perfil vacío, así que aquí hay un fragmento del libro que me estoy leyendo ahora mismo (Beautiful World, Where Are You) y lo último que he dibujado (un Soos chulísimo)
Fragmento de la novela Beautiful World, Where Are You (de Sally Rooney, en inglés). Habla de la ciudad de Dublín de la siguiente manera: One of the problems is that Dublin is, and I mean literally and topographically, flat - so that everything has to take place on a single plane. Other cities have metro systems, which add depth, and steep hills or skyscrapers for height, but Dublin has only short squat grey buildings and trams that run along the street. And it has no courtyards or roof gardens like continental cities, which at least break up the surface - if not vertically, then conceptually. Have you thought about it this way before? Maybe even if you haven't, you've noticed it at some subconscious level. It's hard to go very far up in Dublin or very low down, hard to lose yourself or other people, or to gain a sense of perspective. You might think it's a democratic way to organise a city - so that everything happens face to face, I mean, on equal footing. true, no one is looking down on you all from a height. But it gives the sky a position of total dominance. Nowhere is the sky meaningfully punctuated or broken up by anything at all. Boceto del personaje Soos, de la serie animada Gravity Falls, vistiendo una de las chaquetas "Question Mark" de Moschino.
