A young Florida gangster from the 80s sees a sleek middle-aged man from the 50s in an alley, a manic energy in his eye, and thinks:

''This boy is queer and crazy.

I'm going to fuck him tonight.''

“Xkokonché”

Mayan woman listening the song of a Xkokonché (Mockingbird).

“I know why all your songs are so sad, yes, I know

You’re singing the sufferings of Yucatán, sweet Mockingbird”

(“Dulce Xkokonché”, traditional song of Yucatan)

Our past as mayans is full of pains, slavery and suffering; but we’re still here. For our 500 hundred years of resistance.

“Satellite of Love”

I was sketching when my playlist started “Satellite of Love” by Lou Reed, so… yeah, this happened.

I like to share a couple of quotes from two of the four biographies of Lou Reed I’ve been reading for a very special project, ‘cause those are the ones to blame for the inspiration 🤭

“The studio lovefest, as well as the public displays of affection, prompted rumors that Reed and Bowie had fallen in love. True or not, it was a rumor perfectly suited to the times.” - Anthony DeCurtis (“Lou Reed: A Life”)

“‘David always went after the people he admired, that he thought he could learn something from’, says his then wife Angie Bowie. […] ‘I think there might have been something going on. I don’t know. Lou probable went after him; I believe that’, says Bettye who, like Angie, felt left out. ‘Lou kind of fall in love with him a little bit. He would fall in love with anybody that was really crazy about him.’” - Howard Sounes (“Notes from the Velvet Underground: The Life of Lou Reed”)

Ps. I’ll also leave the sketch, ‘cause I really love it, hehe 🙃

“Corona Civica” - Julius Caesar & Nicomedes IV

During his time in Bithynia, Julius Caesar received the “Corona Civica”, the highest honor a roman citizen could get, for saving the life of a fellow soldier risking his own. This was during the battle after the siege of Mitilene, while he was in a relationship with the king of Bithynia, Nicomedes IV. Caesar was sent to the king to get a Naval Fleet and ended living with him for three years, even when the battle was some months after we arrived… So this illustration came because I just love that part of History 🤭

The macedonian prince and the young athenian.

Originally I wanted to draw something about the fashion differences between de south and north of Ancient Greece but this came out 🤭🤣

I also wanted to draw young king Alexander II of Macedonia (brother of Philip II and uncle of Alexander the great) because I noticed that No one draws or speaks of him, and Amyntor (or Amintor) father of Hephaestion who is believed was from anthenian origin. So, I think that’s it.

Will it be a good idea work in a webcomic about Ancient Macedonia and the Argead Dynasty? 🤔
