The photos in the PHOTO GALLERY/FOTOS revealed to me what these excerpts suggest (specially Third Book): Little Egg or Huevito, has no eyes, mouth, legs, arms. I started to feel that the story of the book was talking to me in unexpected ways. I saw that the egg was representing the world of human beings with some physical or mental disabilities. At the end, our protagonist is born The egg has "a voice" and is capable of heroic acts. Or, his/her voice comes from actions that has no physical and visual representation. Blind or deaf people is one of our audiences. I am inspired by my friend, blind Mexican musician and artist, Maricarmen Grau Huescas. On the other hand, mythologies related to creation and identity are explored.

Art Note: Photoshop CONS: To be or not to be.
Reason 1 for hand painting:
Ten years ago I used PS for photos of another children's book. Again, using photos and drawing from them or painting with watercolor. The problem with PH is if not used often, you have to re-learn the program. I know now that aftern I print there are painting for photography that I can buy.
Art Note:
PROS Children can participate in the coloring. The photos can be B&W allowing people to add their own palette.
