  2. brooklynrhapsody asked: I've noticed that you've used fish and other amphibious creatures in your artwork. Any particular reason?

    I like the way their faces look with those big eyes and rough skin. And creatures coming out of water seem cool to me.  I like incorporating anything thats big and dirty to contrast something small and cute, like crocodiles and chickens!

Paint it Black Series: 29/29 Charles George Esperanza An American artist, director, writer, composer and philanthropist from the South Bronx, NYC.  Charles has received much recognition for his work, such as the caldecott award he received for his first published children’s book “Red, Yellow, Blue and a little bit of White”, which also inspired the academy award winning film he directed by the same title.  Charles established a chain of schools in the Bronx which specialize in the visual and performing arts as well as academics.  The success of these schools greatly increased the overall academic status of the Bronx and helped Charles earn a nobel peace prize.  Charles’ first amusement park “Bodega Land” was opened in the Bronx in late 2025.  This theme park also serves as a museum, chronicling the important role The Bronx has played in American culture.  Today Charles lives in an elephant sanctuary in an undisclosed area.
