cartoonist (1979-1980) Spanish Readings

cartoons I drew up this post when I was 15 and a freshman in high school in CUM. At first I did in the corners of the notebook that was at hand, provided a pencil and no other purpose than not to survive the boredom in class. Soon after, when the occurrence has grown to become the project of portraying all the companions of the room 304, I was doing for groups of five or six pages of a school-history block prehistoric Century in the breeze .

As confirmed browsing the school memories of those years (of which retain almost all since 1970, when I entered primary school), the faces of teachers, students and employees of Marist schools gave to caricature endlessly ...

a child I had some facility to safely draw and I did the first by imitation My father, who had plenty of ease and strength to the stroke and its architect's drawing board has always had paper and pencils, but never went past the occasional hobby. The last time I did more or less continuously for several weeks was the beginning of 2000, perhaps again as a way of escape for the days beginning to plan a change in my life.

Once the cartoons achieved general approval, no doubt thanks to the flexibility and good humor of Jaime Castañeda, professor of the group, went over in ink and exposed at remainder of the course in a glass case at the entrance of the classroom. Among the portraits of students, slipped one's own Jimmy and other three or four teachers. The following year I repeated the operation with better results, but the owner then, universally known as Collet , the case (and in general anything having to do with creativity) did not make any grace. I kept the two groups of cartoons from the pages of one of the school memories.

Yo, I do not even remember his existence, I was surprised the first few weeks when they fell to the ground to open one of them in search of an old master image to illustrate an article. For better appreciation, next to each reference photo I put out the volume for the year 1979-1980.
