A little painting in acrylics I did some years ago to illustrate the Holmes story. The animation is recent.

Breakfast of Champions

by Darío Mekler

"I tend to think of human beings as rubbery test tubes with chemical reactions boiling inside."

"So it's a great temptation for me, when I create a character for a novel, to say that he is the way he is because his wires broke down, or because of microscopic amounts of chemicals he ingested or didn't ingest that day."

Kurt Vonnegut

Slaughterhouse V

by Darío Mekler

“The most important thing I learnt on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present, and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just the way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever. When any Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in a bad condition in that particular moment, but that the same person is just fine in plenty of other moments.”
