I write books, I write for comic books, I give lectures... I live. And when the opportunity comes to do a picture, I do a picture.

I grew up in the north of Chile, and this is why there are a lot of religious symbols in my pictures, because the Catholic Church in Latin America is very strong. If I was born in Japan, I would speak about Buddhism, but I was born in South America.
