I saw the odyssey. I saw the cyclops. I wanted to draw one. I remembered I already have have my “cyclop”.

I think I was almost thirteen, and it was the spring of 2001 when a guy in my class showed me proud his ink copy of the eye with skull by Escher. I think it was a few days (or maybe hours or even minutes) later than I drow for the fist time en eye in a mouth.
