After a few months off personal projects, I’m back with a new illustration! It’s a sailor wrapped in memories, with waves, a ship, and dreamy figures.

Shane Gillis is one of the best comedians today, and although he’s a bit far from me, I look forward to the day I can go see a live show and laugh in person, not just through a screen.
The comedians I connect with the most and admire are those who dance on the edge of humor’s boundaries.
During these months when I haven’t stopped working, one needs to unwind, and laughing is one of the most effective ways to release all the stress that builds up. This drawing tribute is my way of thanking him.
When I started drawing professionally, one of the things I struggled with—and still find a bit challenging, though less so—was doing caricatures of people. I’ve always envied those great illustrators and artists who take one look at your face and, with a few exaggerated strokes, manage to nail the portrait perfectly.
God didn’t lead me down the path of caricature, but every now and then I like to practice to refine my style and, in the process, pay tribute to the figures I admire most.
