friday evening live

This past friday was a great one. This Semester I decided to find a way to do more service and just be more selfless.
So at the beginning of the semester, Nicole Wier posted a note on facebook, asking people to help her fulfill some positions for an after school program she works for, so i contacted her and i joined her and i was assigned to teach the sports class at this program, i did not know what to expect but nonetheless i was exited.
I was given the friday group and this kids are great, all of them so different and so full of energy. Let me introduce you



Devin, this kid can run faster than me, but i took him out on dodge ball








Luis, he reminds me a little bit of myself, one day he showed up with his pumas colored in green, white and red not for Italy but for Mexico, and for those that know me, something that I would be very likely to do as well




Randy, this kid will make you laugh until you pee your pants, i have seen him do it






Tanica & Madie, Tanica has such a strong personality combine with huge heart, a natural leader, and Madie is so sweet and always so mindful of others that she could establish peace through out the world.





Jonathan, this kid is always putting things in order, he always follows the rules







So there you go, this are my kids, the ones that makes my friday afternoon's complete, who would've thought that serving others is actually self service and i mean it in the cleanest way possible. haha

If it takes control

I was listening to the new CD i bought by the Kings of Convenience and i love the first line from the song Gold from the price of silver "if it takes control of your body and soul embrace it". It has such a strong meaning to me so i decided to do something with this line and illustrate it, i mean not exactly what was on my mind but attempt to do it.
So i wanted to show that the moment it takes control (whatever takes control), it changes your life, so i started with two colors in the left and then multiple colors in the right, the turning point was going to be a girl that i chose to draw in pencil, not solid but rather fuzzy because that thing that takes control is sometimes just like that, fuzzy or hard to understand, the black is just the contrast of it. I strongly recommend the album "Versus" by The Kings of Convenience, this Norwegian duo reminds me a little of simon and garfunkel, and this particular album has collaborations with different artists and it is the mix of previously released songs with new effects added to them or just completely new sounds to it.
