About Retrazos
Hi, my name is Jaime G. Wong, I'm from Peru and I love to draw. Retrazos is my website. Here I publish my illustrations and webcomics.
This project begun in 2006 as a simple illustration blog inspired on an article on creativity by Kathy Sierra. It has been improving and changing with time.
Technical Details
Retrazos is hosted on a Joyent Shared Accelerator.
I programmed the CMS using Ruby on Rails and MySQL.
Other indispensable tools used to create Retrazos were Vim, Git, Mozilla Firefox, Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0, Strongspace and pizza.
PROTIP: You can browse entries by typing "k" and "j" to go backwards and forward, respectively.

Questions and Answers
Can I publish your comic/illustration in my blog/page/slide?
Yes, you can publish, print and copy my comics and illustrations freely as long as 1) You're not making money off it and 2) You put a link back to Retrazos.
Bonus points if you can add the Widget to your blog or web page!
If you have any question or want to ask permission to use the content in a commercial way, please contact me.
How do you create your drawings?
Unless mentioned otherwise, everything has been drawn digitally using a Wacom Intuos3 tablet and Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. I give thanks to God for giving me this wonderful skill.
What does "Retrazos" mean?
I was looking for an original name, so I made a wordplay from the spanish word Trazo, which means "stroke," as in a pencil stroke. The Re prefix implies repetition, as in "redo." It kinda means to make several strokes, which is what I do when I draw. I'm no great master which makes a piece of art with one or two pencil strokes.
Mind you, "Retrazos" is not a valid spanish word, just wordplay. It's similar to the real word "Retrasos," which means "delay."
What does your signature mean?
That's my chinese name, Wong Guó Fù, which means Rich Nation.
