A scene from Matt de la Peña's book Mexican Whiteboy
At Ideate High I am reading Matt de la Peña's book Mexican Whiteboy with two other classmates. I did this drawing last night of an intense scene where Danny and his sister Julia meet their mother Wendy's boyfriend for the first time. He tells them she is moving for the summer to San Francisco to live with him and brother and sister are shocked. Randy lives on Russian Hill with a view out his window to Alcatraz. Danny refuses to go and wants to try to find his real Dad who is living in Mexico so he stays with cousins in National City. Julia decides to go to San Francisco but is heartbroken and they hold hands to comfort each other.

Life Drawing
This past Friday I had my first experience with life drawing at a workshop for our high school at San Diego City College with an amazing drawing teacher Wayne Hulgin. These are my quick 1 minute gesture drawings and one where we had a 10 minutes. It was fun and I want to do this again and learn more about the human figure.

Photoshop Draft #1
This Summer I am exploring use of Photoshop and want to show a composition I like. I made it by using elements I found and the software tools to combine found textures and images. I hope you like it.

MONSTER DISEASES
![]() |
At our school we did class reports on diseases and I learned a lot. Today I was thinking that diseases are like MONSTERS so decided to develop my own characters to go with them. My plan was to infect the MONSTERS with their own diseases-take that!
