When you're really deep in unfortunate situations, you could start thinking there's some supernatural force behind it, but that's a very, very dangerous trick.

It's a thing that can makes us feel like we have no control whatsoever in life. And sometimes it is real, sometimes we have no control.

But there are situations in which... we can actually react. Change our lifestyle, to be healthier. Change our mindset, to be more resilient.

It's not a curse, it's something much, much worse: the randomness and unpredictability of life, the consequences of the history of hundreds of years that unfolds now, in front of our eyes.

It's miserable and it's glorious. One flap of butterfly wings, one hurricane. We have always to remember that we're not the only people suffering in this world, that the net of our misfortune encompasses all the globe.

We're all going to die, and that's why we have TO LIVE, now, now, now. We have to write, to dance, to sing, we have to make so that our short lives were not in vain.

I can't touch you, but I want to put a hand on your shoulder, look you in the eyes.

«It's not a curse» I would say to you «It's the randomness of the World. And it's not your fault. I know, I know it's easier to think that it's your fault, for all the misfortune, but... it just isn't. You can't live scared forever. You have to live. There's only one of you, forever and ever, there won't be another one».

I can almost feel your tiredness. Is one and the same with mine. I'm feeling tired all the time, heavy head, heavy shoulders. Carrying the weight of a little World, but feeling like this training is not making me any stronger.

It's just momentary pain. We will become stronger, my friend. And if that's not enough... I am now lifting your curse.

Art is powerful magic. The most powerful you can imagine, my friend. I'm gonna lift your curse.

I charged this art with intention, and with the symbols that resonates with me and give me joy. Now breathe, unclench your jay, let your shoulders drop.

You are free from your curse.

Under the sea, under the sea... tears have no meaning.

There's a comic series that we're sketching in ballpoint pen, no previous pencil studies, it's just... a challenge. And this is the cover, yay! (The cover was sketched, and it's of a better quality than the pages, because it's the cover)

But it can be interesting to read, for y'all! It's 100% experimental, and it will have some weird stuff in it. We hope do you like deep sea fish!

(The novel is from the point of view of the humans! The comic from the point of view of the creature, Sangreal!)

A tiny Sangreal! We can't get enough of this guy! Working with his design is soothing, the contrasts between his colors & the various textures are so enjoyable to play with. Squeezing him like a fidget toy.
