View fullsize drawing, Ayo  12.06.15 I was in kindergarten and this teacher asked us to draw a child going to school. I accidentally drew two legs in one pant leg. My teacher took my drawing and told the

View fullsize home, Resa 24.06.15 This is the home I was born into and raised until I was 10. That’s a lilac tree in front and it’s in Long Beach, NY. I remember being asked by an adult, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I said I want to be a arti
View fullsize christmas, Kyle 25.06.15 Christmas was not about presents. My favourite time was when my parents went to sleep and I could walk into the lounge and see the lights on the tree. Even when we moved house we would always have the tree. I want to fi
View fullsize playhouse, Victoria 5.06.15 This is my playhouse that I used to play in when I was a kid all the way up to the age of probably 10 or 11. An adult could stand up in the middle, it was that big. I played in it almost everyday and it was in the ba

View fullsize bote bote, Tito 27.06.15 Bote bote is Spanish for “can can”. It’s a game we used to play in the summer time. It’s similar to hide and seek but involved kicking a can. My childhood was this. Not only because of the game but because it was summer
