Pink Passion

Story and artwork from Arey Ricardo Gutarra Inga

My story: I draw since I was a child, I painted walls, Funny story recovering my sketchbook bc I was drawing at class. I draw since I have memory. I used to draw every place and every moment I even drew on the walls with crayons and colour pencils. Drawing has always been with me. I remember that one day – at school – I was drawing in my sketchbook during the class and my teacher saw me, so she took my sketchbook. I felt bad that moment, but I need to recover My Precious. That day, when I finished all my classes, I waited for my teacher to go somewhere so I could take my sketch. The teacher went to the bathroom, so I quickly and as silent, as I could, I went to the teacher’s desk, took my sketchbook and ran away as fast as possible. That was exciting and a little bit dangerous, but I recovered what I wanted.

The Face Tells A Story

Story and artwork from Charles Gilliam

My name is Charles Gilliam, but everyone calls me “Chuck.” I grew up in the Air Force. We averaged moving every 26 months. While that might sound rough I loved it. New people, new places, new things to see and experience. It was a great life, for me. And through it all, art held a special place for me. My Mom and Dad supported my art endeavors, providing me with the materials I needed to create images of the places we went and the people we saw.
