Hello everyone! Hello to the half dozen of our old readers!, hello to you, fresh follower! These are Leon and Nelson writing to you. We’ve had a little blog affair running here a couple of years (de cuyo número no quiero acordarme) ago, starting with our bike trip from Paris to Rome and thereafter continuing […]
In Defense Of Stanisław, the Last King Of Poland
A nation that has allowed itself to be wiped off the map by anything other than sheer brute force must confront the shortcomings that brought this about if it wished to continue to think of itself as a nation […]. But the implications of such a confrontation were so complex and so unpleasant that it […]
Himmel & Erde
After no less than seven months of work I’ve completed my first book. This one’s a luxury item, no doubt. 28 woodcuts, all texts and titles set by hand, all printed and bound manually – taking the edition of 24 and adding the usual spoilage that’s just a tiny bit more or less than 1000 […]
A peek into the new studio
For a month now I’ve moved into a new studio. The previous one had been a spacious room occupied by at most 18 people, and while fortunately (and not inevitably) it’s always been pleasant company, a couple of times the vibes haven’t been the ones in favour of productive work. A lot depended on how […]

There’s a shop!
And now for but a quick announcement! Per popular request (and also my landlord’s insistence that I need to pay some rent) there’s now a shop on this site for all that stuff I’m making. Right now it’s all prints; if there’s demand for it, I shall provide some drawings as well. I don’t and won’t […]
Copy, cover, afterimage
Almost exactly one year ago I paid a visit to Amsterdam, taking the opportunity while still living a stone’s throw from the Netherlands, and just before moving to faraway Leipzig. A working trip, as usual, dedicating to checking out all the Rembrandts and Vincents. Of course I had planned to write extensive blogposts at the […]
To hell with “buttery consistency”
Sunday morning: Darn, my go-to bakeries are closed and I, breadless, have to resort to the chain around the corner. I know exactly what to expect there: Smooth, even, uniform loaves that are pretty much exactly like the one I’ve bought some weeks ago when it was fresh. The baker down the road, on the […]
Malloc Alone, a story of the Computer’s Memory
This week I didn’t have the chance to publish another blog post, because I was busy preparing an actual presentation of the contents I’ve been releasing recently here. I’m very proud to introduce you to this beautiful piece of education: Recommended if you’re just starting with computers and want to learn some important stuff about […]
Paris, the fourth
My fourth visit to Paris since this blog started with the first – and finally one from which I got a reasonable amount of drawings!
Living inside a story
Some time around 2010, give or take a year, I was on one of these family holidays with all the uncles around. Some treasure unearthed from grandpa’s eclectic bookshelf made the rounds. Someone had randomly taken the book out and after a few pages started reading a bunch of memorable passages out loud to the […]
