About Me


...Sir TeX WatsOn used to walk around the neighborhood wearing his bear mask. One day, He went to the park to feed his three little birds: Julius, Braulio and Margot Josephine. He sat on a bench, singing those funny songs he learned while spending some time at the local asylum. Suddenly, He saw Miss cLaRa bOw. She was wearing her wolf mask, her famous green scarf made out of leaves, and her red shoes. She sat on a bench at the other side of the park, holding her raven: Mauricio. Sir TeX WatsOn and Miss cLaRa bOw, looked at eachother for a while. Suddenly, Sir TeX WatsOn jumped out of his bench, and made the gorilla dance he invented, when he was a little boy. Miss cLaRa bOw smiled. She jumped out of her bench, and made the kangaroo dance she invented while taking ballet free style classes when she was a little girl. Sir TeX WatsOn smiled. Instantly, they became friends: they set their pets free and went out of the park for some lemonade. Now they both stretch their feathered wings and perch on tree branches; they spend time making music playlists and making scary drawings, waiting for more friends to enter their forest.
El Bosque is an art & music project by Sir TeX WaTsOn [Raymond Forbes] and Miss cLaRa bOw [Lorraine Rodríguez]: they make drawings, graphic art and music playlists for friend's parties.
*Note: El Bosque has no inconvenient with sharing their art, but if any of their friends would like to add a drawing to their accounts, they must ask for El Bosque's permission. Thank you! *Second note: TOM, THE MUSIC IS NOT OURS, NOT. It's from our playlists.
