Exemplary Crimes

2007-11-09T22:49:00.002+02:00

Some of unpublished illustrations I made for
Max Aub's Exemplary Crimes (written in 1956)

I’ve been dreaming of it for three whole years. And now, I was wearing it! A pale colored suit, as I always longed for. I had been saving for a long time in order to buy it, and now it was mine: with turn – ups in fashion, with a crease like razor, and hems which don’t fray… But this fucking old man, disgusting, stone-deaf , maybe unintentionally, dropped his cigarette butt on it and burned it: a ghastly, black hole, brown rounded. I killed him with a fork. It took him ages to die…

I killed him because he woke me up. I had gone to bed very late, and I was exhausted. "With a sword back lash, hop, his head fell on the earth" (Cervantes, Don Kihote, A, 37).

I am a school teacher. For ten years I’ve been serving in the Primary School of Tenansjingo. A lot of children passed from my hands. I believe that I am a good schoolteacher or, I believed so, till the moment Pantsjito Kontreras turned up. He didn’t pay any attention to me and wasn’t interesting in learning anything – he didn’t want to. Whatever I came up with was of no use: corporal punishments, moral punishments … - nothing happened. He was staring at me with insolence. I was begging him, I was hitting him – nothing. The other children began to jeer me. I lost my prestige, I lost my sleep, my appetite, until, one day, since I couldn’t take it anymore, but also to set an example, I hung him on the playground tree.

I was intending to kill myself, but my gun jammed. I swear: the second bullet was for me. What’s better than square your accounts straight? From this very window here, no one could escape from me. I remembered the good old times that I went hunting.

We were packed like sardines and this man was stinking like apig. Everything was stinking on him but most of all his feet.
I swear to you: it was unbearable. As if it this was not enough, his neckband was black and his scruff was grimy. And he was staring at me. Pure disgust! I was forced to move to another stand. Nah believe it or not: the guy came close! This is how the devil must stink; it seemed to me that I could see worms coming out from his mouth! Maybe I pushed him a little bit harder. Was it my fault that the truck wheels passed over him?

Holes

2007-09-14T19:46:00.000+03:00

I call these portraits "Paper Faces".
I first destroy faces found in old magazines,
cutting up in pieces,and then rearrange
those pieces creating the new faces,
adding some lines, little shapes and symbols.
I posted one of these portraits in Phirebrush's issue 51
