About
One day I found a thick manuscript at my doorstep. It was a large bulk of rough papers, all tied up with a cord like some kind of last century parcel. The manuscript was hand written with a very old-fashioned calligraphy, it was sometimes hard to understand the words, but there was something so compelling about it, that even though it was weird and a bit scary, I couldn't stop reading.
I have no idea who sent it. It was all singed by "your dear friend". For a very long time I suspected it was a very elaborate prank by someone around me. Then, after a while, I began to wonder whether the delivery man had made a mistake. But I kept receiving those parcels, and the stories in them started making more and more sense, until one day I finally understood what they were and what it meant. And just like my mysterious "dear friend" had put it, after I read all of it I knew Truth.
It all sounds very esoteric and weird I know, but that's just how I felt. It was so powerful in fact, that the stories written in those pages fueled my imagination and compelled me to illustrate the scenes and characters in them. Ever since I read them, I live in those pages. So I'll be making this my home.
I've taken it as my life mission to translate the manuscripts to English and digitalize them, and share them on the internet for anyone looking for something real. Something fun. Something sometimes crude and harsh, other times exciting and entertaining. This stories are Truth. So I'll share them with you. With whoever is willing to read them. The same way that my dear friend shared them with me.
You are welcome to join me. I may not be the best translator, or the best illustrator, but I trust you'll like my interpretation.
I hope I can give them justice.
