My pride, my humility

© 2006 Armando Salas. ------A very close person, my dearest friend, says I always underestimate myself. Well, I'm proud of my skills and huge work but I know my limits too :-))) I'm a perpetual student. ---A tribute to my pride: First image: "The World Encyclopedia of Cartoons" and "Atlas Español de la Cultura Popular - De la historieta y su uso". My name is in both encyclopedias and in Lambiek Comiclopedia (Amsterdam); this one is on-line. The strange sculpture (owl) is the CURUXA DE HONRA 2005 award (especial honour prize) given by Museum of Humor at Fene (Galiza - Spain). This award is dedicated to a long career as a cartoonist.--- Bottom image: Myself, holding the CURUXA, and the page of The World Encyclopedia of Cartoons, published by Chelsea House Publishers (Philadelphia) and printed in Hong-Kong! :-))).
