Each Mister Sister is born from a moment charged with emotion. Some stem from searing pain; others, from rage. Some arose from euphoria, others from anguish, others from despair. Others were completed amidst the weariness of a heavy, drawn-out patience, while others took shape to the rhythm of a song played a thousand times in a row. It was always an intense exercise of pencil against paper, ensuring the strokes conveyed nothing contrary to what I was feeling.

MISTER SISTER. <ESP>
Cada Mister Sister nace de un momento cargado de emoción. En algunos hay un dolor punzante; en otros, rabia. Algunos nacieron de la euforia, otros de la angustia, otros de la desesperación. Otros fueron terminados en el hastío de una paciencia pesada y otros funcionaron al ritmo de una canción que fue reproducida 1000 veces seguidas. Era siempre el ejercicio intenso del lápiz contra el papel y el cuidado de que los trazos no dijeran algo contrario a lo que sentía.
SWEET DREAMS, DEAD MEMORIES – MI VIDA LOCA by Jessica Edith Cerda.
Initially, this piece was brainstormed the last week of July 2023 and the pencil didn’t hit the paper till July 28 all the way till August 24, a little under a month of very well-used hours to get this pieced and framed, ready in time. I loved creating this piece and the emotions and memories that came with illustrating sweet dreams, dead memories.
