GAME ON!!!

6 HOURS LATER

MY STORY IS WORTH BEING TOLD TOO!

Here is an article that was given to me by a friend just published in The NY Times about the lack of children of color being represented in the children's book market or even the general book market as a whole. Publishers, literary agents and even bookstores talk a very good game of equality, but their actions don't say the same. We (meaning everyone; black, white, asian, latino, indian, etc.) have to fight for stories being told from all perspectives, because that brings awareness, understanding and ultimately connection with each other as a human race. It starts with the children! Click the link below and let's make change!

I had a dream that I flunked my final exam----------------------------

I studied 2 days straight with no sleep while I crammed--------------

I entered into the test feeling confident and ready------------------

I knew all the material and my mind was so steady--------------------

But It’s strange, cause I could remember only writing my name ----

Then I think I wrote the date next to it clear and plain----------------

After that it's a blur, as I looked at the questions all lined up---------

Next thing I knew the teacher woke me by saying "TIME'S UP!"---

Cosmic and the Galaxy Kids

This is a still from an animation I did about a group of super talented and skilled kids who were friends. They lived on an alien world that was sort of a futuristic medieval times. The group of friends were lead by a young boy named Cosmic and his sidekick Comet. There were Princesses, Kings, Queens and even an Arch Enemy in the form of a hideous bloated creature named Mr. Earl and his genius yet ultra-clumsy minion Blah. The animation project was never completed, but the storyline was pretty funny and refreshing. Maybe one day it will be revisited. Here is a view of the castle in which the sister princesses lived. Notice the twin moons in the sky, pretty fantastic!
