Found these images from a couple of years back. These portraits were taken at an elderly home in Monterrey, Mexico. I was helping out with a project. Best-case scenario, we’ll reach old age sometime. Makes me wonder, what will it be like for me? For the people I love?

Mateo Pizarro

I recently discovered Mateo Pizarro’s fascinating drawings at the Heartego Gallery in San Pedro Garza García.  Check out Mateo’s work in his Behance page. If  you live in the area, I suggest you visit the Heartego gallery. Magnifying glasses are available to see the amazing miniature drawings. Pizarro’s work will be available in this gallery until January.
