Skills you never knew you had....

[Julio]

I was going to post this a few month ago, But I hate putting personal shit out there.. but what the heck.


So, Have any of you ever discover a "talent" you never thought you had?

Me, no. But my 25 year old brother who is in Jail has.

I guess being in jail with nothing to do, not only you discover things you never knew you were capable of doing on top of other "shady" shit you learn while in jail I guess. He also learned how to Cut hair..

When I visit my brother, We always talk about weird shit, a few month ago he tells me . " Hey man, send me some pictures, magazines to keep me Busy. I have read the bible already and a few political books, but I want magazines with art in them"

I was like Art? Now you turning fruity and shit. He tells me, Nope, I can draw..

I was like yea right.. He said, no seriously.. and Im pretty good.. He shows me some stuff he had done.. I was blown away by them.. Im not art expert, but I was really taken back for a minute..

He then tells me, " I just didnt know I had this skills in me, When you have nothing to do in here besides working, reading the bibble, looking at walls and talking with your cellmate , you just put your mind to work.. "


So, thats where my question comes from.. Because I have never discovered anything..

I'm just amazed how us humans don't really use our brains to the fullest, I wish we were possible to do so.. or better yet put all the effort into it..


Here is a drawing he did.. I took this drawing and showed it to a couple of tattoo artist and a guy at the Flea market in doraville who does portrait paintings and they tell me the same thing, He def has skills and should pursue his artist skills once he gets better and comes out of jail.. ..

This is my brother, Never in my life seen him drawing.....
