The other day I dreamed that discovered the secret of happiness. I felt full of life and at peace with myself.
My main desire was then tell everyone and extend my happiness. But trying to explain the secret, my lips remained sealed
could not make a sound.
I was very upset, scared
tried to scream with all my strength.
But my mouth would not open, and felt a sharp pain the force.
Then I saw my reflection in a pool near and understood. was a cruel joke ... Someone had sewn their mouths.
panic started to stop passers for help, but they all departed me scared.
thought I was a dangerous madman. A madman who sewed his mouth to prevent
extend his madness.
The strange cage
That he called me and unarmed
was opened by a master key before doors and keys,
unconcerned that some god on earth forgot.
With this key I could see how I
is actually a bunch of emotions and reactions that
forged by time and sculpted by repetition
joined each other forming a strange mesh.
A shaped mesh cage, called personality.
The master key also opened that strange cage
revealing the essence of my individuality. hoping to find the eternal witness, that one indivisible spirit that all of us.
But there was nothing ...
not just a memory in memory loneliness.
Fear of freedom
Is it safe, right? They are safe
walls behind which you live ...
But who are you hiding?. Because reality caves.
do you hide the pain? do you hide the pain? No, of course not. They do not scare you, make you feel alive .
are giving you an enemy they can blame. give you a reason to complain and hate.
why you live behind those walls? Whose you hide? "Love?, What happiness? No, they scare you, but do not shun, do not hide them.
only scare you, because you do out those walls behind which you hide.
Why fear the outside? Why do you lock? Why are you hiding? know the answer.
you afraid of freedom. you afraid to be free of yourself. you afraid to be free.
So you hide in a cage. To not feel free.
But freedom is with you in that cage, it not concealed. And though you look scary, she is there at your side. whispering: Is it safe , truth, the walls behind which you live?
Ediciones.Las Palmas de Gran Canaria 2007. JUAN LUIS
Here are some illustrations for "Diary of a visitor" , also written by Daniel Martin . This assignment came to me before the "Juan Luis Yaris" the hand of Daniel and Anroart Editions , although has seen the light earlier this year. The presentation of the story took place on January 10, 2008, the CEP Telde.
The book chronicles the adventures of Risco and Clip, the only two inhabitants of his planet. Are riscocliptianos, and this is the diary of one of them has their trip to Earth.
technique artwork is acrylic on cardboard. In some areas I used sand to give more attention to the characters.
YARIS. Produced Toyota City (Canary Islands) / Toyota City Peques. In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (2007)
Well, here are some samples of my first illustrations published. I made them for a story written by Daniel Martin Castilian and commissioned by Toyota City (Group Canarias). Was released in January 2007 and is intended, free of charge, to children who visit the facilities of Toyota City (Group Canarias). The truth is that we were given enough creative freedom to the writer like me, the only condition being that the protagonist of the story were a
Yaris peach. Even I had the opportunity to design the cover and layout the book. Whole great pleasure that it is unusual;) The line is made by hand and color it with Photoshop ... I gave one of my experiments, heh, heh.
The text tells the story of Hana and Yoyo, two brothers who live a great adventure with Juan Luis (the car), where they learn values \u200b\u200bsuch as generosity.
The labyrinth represents the drug world, a world where there output, only death can take you from it. The points are the drugs that you take to ward off the pain. The ghosts represent the personal tragedies of the addict. Chase the person and the sick, causing the person pain and anxiety.
Points / drugs are taken as something to defend / eat the tragedies / ghosts and try to get on with life.
Wellcome to my new blog. My intention is to show my illustration work and those interested / as saying about him. Although I am a bit of a disaster (those who know me know, heh, heh) I will try to keep it updated. Well, I hope you enjoy.
