By chance, I bumped into the work of Austrian photographer Inge Morath. She joined Magnum Agency in the 50s. Morath was a brilliant artist, took photos of many celebrities and her street style approach fascinates me. I took one of her photos as the model for this drawing, both a homage to Mrs Morath but also of the style and atmosphere of the 1950s New York. You can get this one as a print from my shop <a href="https://www.luismendo.com/shop/nancy-runs" target="_blank">www.luismendo.com/shop/nancy-runs</a>

Fellow artists: this is how I set up my prints shop, helping my family back in Spain and avoiding (most of) big companies, while keeping quality high. ➽ luismendo.com/shop

My beloved one. On a yellow bed.
A ferret and the moon. You can see many in the streets of Tokyo, hunting for food at night.
Past July I went though yet another creative block. This was some of the thoughts that went through my mind.
View from the train on my way to my in-laws. Chiba, Japan.
This poor crow up on a tree had eaten something that got stuck in his throat. It was so sad to see him making squeaking sounds… he flew away so I couldn't do much to help him.
Winter scene, because it's coming close.
Putting out fires. The way I feel often.
Summer mornings, reading e-mails.
