Gato Leo is very real and was part of my life from pre-adolescence to the beginning of my adulthood. He was a very special kitty. “Almost human” (he would bark about that). His presence was more than mystical; it was a true door to other worlds.
Here the stories touch history together with the fantastic on the non-tactile; infra-red and ultra-violet of our times: their myths cross plastered while excerpts from their urban legends, ancestr-rituals. Real roads with the fantastic behind the wheel, 4×4 traction that is factual-sense-typic / fictional-scientific.
As a young man, making comics
– Leo here.
From the day he walked through the door
to the day he said “I’m going”
– Leo there.
It’s already decades, and it grows exponentially over through decades; bone echoing leaps. Creatures are sometimes buried and sometimes sleepless visitors in writings and drawings. Arguments, scripts; drawings, I drew them. I published them on comic platforms like Tapas and Webtoons. With love and readers: Bingo! And the pandemic came …why the hell did I talk about billionaires and despots? It was working, you know? Just being cute and ambidextrous with ideas. A year and a half of Censorship and Fear in Las Vegas later: I left the material off air indefinitely.
Insistent visits later. Now I’m organizing myself for I can produce and continue the myths of history with stories about Leo, and our universe.
And I need all the help I can get to be able to produce them!
I’m a working class artist. Dyslexus. With the sensuality questioned and disputed by academics around the cosmos. And any partnership or help, whether material or immaterial, is welcome!
Spread the word and support monetarily if you can. Anyone who enjoys reading with Leo and his universe and wants to continue reading future releases ; or if you simply wanna see authorial works taking their space and continuity in the world, free and wild as they should be ; I thank you!
