Yesterday

 
 

Full cover illustration for Yesterday, the first English translation of Ayer by Juan Emar. What a bizarre, wonderful novel. Yesterday takes place during one day; Emar regularly pauses for multiple pages to deconstruct a moment in time, including one in which an ostrich dodges a bite from a lion. A joy to illustrate.
