the essential thing for a cartoonist is information. The more information you have “laid down” in your head, the more options you will have to create… - Arístides Esteban Hernández Guerrero

I decided to do this because of a personal interest, and because I was totally convinced of what I had to do. The position of a professional here doesn’t greatly differ in economic status from that of any other productive activity, so it wasn’t something that would have a great effect on me. It is true that I won’t have the same degree of stability, but that’s the risk you take to do what you really want.

People often confuse jokes with humor, but my humor is very serious. I not only make people laugh, but also make people reflect and analyze.

Participation in international humor events has brought me many other influences. My work style includes a large dose of “esthetic vampirism,” in that I’ve absorbed a lot from a lot of different people. But I have a central axis, my major cartoon characters, who have been changing in their own right along with the changes in the type of humor that I happen to be doing.
