Me encanta Tom Gauld. Mucho. Tengo (casi) todos sus libros. (El último está en camino, ya llega). Me encanta zambullirme en sus ilustraciones y en su manera de ver las cosas. Esta extensa entrevista de Irene Velentzas es muy jugosa, acerca de cómo trabaja, cómo lee, cómo entiende la creatividad. 

Me guardo acá un par de subrayados:

Creating anything, I think all art is about thinking more carefully about what you’re doing that you do in everyday life and making something more carefully prepared. So, it is a sort of recipe for misgivings and overthinking and perfectionism. All of those things are sort of necessary – you kind of need to be aiming for perfection, but you also need to be forgiving that you’re not going to make it perfect. So, there’s a lot of crazy stuff that goes on in your head when you’re trying to make art. 

I like the fact that there’s a deadline, and I’ve really just got one day. If I don’t have a great idea, I have to take a mediocre idea, polish it as much as I can, and make it as presentable as I can. I like the finiteness of that, and the fact that if it’s not great then the next week I can just try to make it better and that sort of suits my personality in some way.

Pero vale la pena leerla, releerla y seguir leyendo sus libros, claro.
