The city #1

The first animation in the US is here:

It's inspired by the city of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

At the Inner Harbor

Inside the malls, the chess players don't share a word, and look like real enemies until the game is over. Then they laugh, talk, congratule the winner and just leave.

I love the Fudgery. They make giant bars of chocolate. But they also sing. They make giants bars of chocolate, they heat it, stir it up, make it jump in the air, while the guys and the girls sing soul classics like "Isn't she lovely?" or "I can see clearly now". 

I would love to see how do they hire people in that place.

Barnes & Nobles is similar to what Fnac used to be, a place to read and stay for a while with yourself.

The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore

I love to hear the children's thoughts at the Zoo. This one was beautiful, and the animals looked healthy, just like the one in Barcelona.

The Magic Soup!

Last friday I arrived home exhausted, hungry, and I found at my door a brown paper bag, with a tupperware, and this note. At the first moment I though "you're not eating this, are you?". But I'm travelling, I want adventures. And it was delicious. 

I'M ON THE CITY PAPER!

During my time in the US, the protests again the system are starting, little by little, and even if more than 700 people were arrested after the occupy of the Brooklyn Bridge in October, the continue. The protests take place in every city, and the people is camping on the main squares, like Wall Street in New York City, or the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, just like what happened in Spain last May.

I have a Visual Journalism class, very interesting because it helps me to visit the city in a different way. Our teacher, Shadra Strickland, decided to go to draw in the Baltimore Occupy, and take the thoughts and feelings of the people who were camping there.

The City Paper was interested in the movement and they decided to publish some of our drawings. I got 2, one in color, one b&w, and a small interview they made to me by phone. I'm improving my english, yeah!
