Artist's Comments

It is based on an awesome photo of William Albert Allard.
The boy is named Eduardo, i guess he was like 11 or 12 years old there(Peru). A taxi, by accident, has killed his sheeps. It dont sound great... but it was his job; be responsible for those sheeps, since he was very poor, i guess he lost his world there...

Its interesting, when i was painting him.. the mounth, it dont seems very much like sadness. Actually, i covered his eyes... and it seems to laugh.
Tears and laughs - Desperation

Nanquin pen(03, 05, 08)and watercolor(cottman) over Canson.

Yes... got to see the original photograph... the face of the boy is absurdly shocking.
Also the situation... a boy working like an adult and so...

If it helps anyhow.. the photograph was published in "national geografic" magazine, and the ppl(readers of the magazine) start to make donation for him.
