The date is Nov. 01, 1996, Michael Jackson History Tour in India. The stage is set at Mumbai’s Shah Jee Raje Andheri Sports Complex, and there I am, singing and dancing along with Michael Jackson before a crowd of over 60000 people. I can hear the 150K Watt Sound, people cheering up our names; I am singing “Heal the world” along with Michael Jackson. The greatest performer ever live on earth.
Well, this is my dream and I have seen this hundred and thousand time since my college days. It’s still a dream, I never got a chance to meet Michael Jackson in person; ( Please don’t kill me to confuse you for a while) I know this dream is too big to turn into reality. last week I come across with a person who made this dream possible for me through his graphical skill. Let me tell you about my new friend Nilo.
Meet NILO EVANGELISTA
This 25 year old Filipino Graphic designer has immense talent, and he is really a master craftsman. He is Nilo Evagelista the man behind artistic work you see above. I met him through our common friend and blogger Amor. She awarded him with “The Kick Ass blogger award” last week. Thanks Amor for introducing me to such a great talent.
You can see show case of his capabilities at the following spots
You can also find him at these places
Its really a pleasure to watch how he turn a squirrel as Captain Squirrel, how an alien might look like or even a veggie kid. It’s interesting to know how it all get started
The journey begins when I was 3 years old and started to draw the basic, which means stick like people, sun with smiling face, a nipa house with a coconut tree beside and a mountain behind with clouds while birds are flying. This simple idea stop because something big happen. I was 5 years old and it is time to explore the world where children will learned and be guided. And then a blessing came, a group of Filipino-Catholic N.G.O. (None Government Organization) who are seeking for qualified student knock into our door. Their mission is to help children and support their studies financially. And the vision is to make them excel in their chosen field. This includes academics, sports, literature, music, arts, and stage play. Thank God they came in to my life, inspite of the educational support they also help me to enroll in a art organization to enhance my skills in drawing and painting.

What a great Honor! I am surprised… and the introduction is so overwhelming. Like what I said to my site, now is the time to pay back all the talent that I have to those who want it and it so nice to know that I gave you so much happiness for the graphics that I did.
Your Right———
“Happy are those who dream and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.” “To dream anything that you want to dream. That’s the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed.”
So never stop dreaming….
