I tried to make the worst possible “Lolita” cover. Also, while I was on holiday I wasn’t able to draw but I’m back now!

I once sat in the and drew Nabokov's copy of Ulysses. When they brought it out to me it seemed to sparkle with life. It was so annotated that it was soft like a pillow. As you can see, he even inscribed the date of in pencil on the cover. Wonderful object.

Done with Lolita, it was crazy good and a really interesting read overall. There's a major slump early during Part 2 which is a bit of a pain in the ass to get through, but it recovers after a while and it ends excellently. Nabokov's prose is simply immaculate. Great stuff.

Incidentally, talk of deers reminds me...
Nabokov (The girl in my icon) isn't my fursona, Servas is

...I barely ever draw my deer, though, since I'm not really someone who represents myself a lot

Hoy hace 44 años que murió

Toca sugerir algo de este escritor en el ojo del huracán;
de la moral, la ética y la estética;
a causa de su tan importante como polémica novela, 'Lolita'(1955) que debe leerse para opinar, pero...
¡también tiene más cosas!

I think it is all a matter of love ;
The more you love a memory,
The stronger and stranger it becomes.
