Lately I’m working on some cartoonish illustrations built with the excellent open source Inkscape. The reason why I chose this specific software is because its efficient tools allow to create vectors drawing directly within the program. The results are graphically smooth and highly customizable and give me the freedom to modify the picture while working on it.

The idea of Monsters of London sprout in my mind one afternoon I was sitting in a Pub. In the table next to mine there was a couple right in the middle of a painful breaking up. Painful for him, at least, a sweet chubby bloke wearing a yellow sweater; he was witnessing the disintegration of his love story with pure incredulity painted on his face. The scene was so sad, with the girl totally indifferent to the boy’s desperation and him, trying not to burst into tears right there, in front of everybody. I started to scribble on a notepad and I transformed the couple in two creatures and later, at home, I went through some of my old photos and put together my version of the scene, adding also a caption.

Led by his notorious phlegm, George welcomed Magda’s decision with moderate disappointment.

I really enjoy to translate everyday situations that draw my attention in cartoons. In my mind, these acetate monsters live among us but can’t be seen. They are from out of space, fallen on Earth for some mysterious cosmic event and learnt the art of disguise so well that only few people can actually detect them.
