Alfonso Font
Taxi: El laberinto del dragón
Cimoc #77
Norma, 1987
How would I define my style? My strengths?… Well, I don’t know how to define them. A kind of perpetual dissatisfaction with my work might be the definition. In response to my complaints about my own inadequacy, my old drawing teacher once told me: “Mr. Font, the day you are completely satisfied with your work will mean you have reached the maximum you are capable of, and you will no longer improve.” With that revealing phrase, he sentenced me to eternal torment, and also to a love for what I do: drawing.
