twenty-two; Jose, aluminum single speed with reversible rear hub


“I make choppy problems that my characters solve, like a tiny body that needs to open a huge door”
An eighteen year-old computer animator who never learned to illustrate figures, he’s starting from scratchpad.
His small hands draw his way into the giant gates of Art School aspirations, one community-college class at a time.
Uninformed of the storyboard he needed to follow to get into CalArts, he was just taking it frame by frame.
We chat the classics, waiting for his ride back to Richmond,
“There’s emotion in every move the 7-dwarves make.”
He’s starting to see the big picture.
