Hi there. My name is Gabriel Madlangbayan. I am 13 years old and I go to da Vinci Middle School in Portland, Oregon. I was born and grew up in the Bronx (the hood) in New York with my loving family. We moved when I was nine and I was kind of upset. I learned to get past it and now I like living in Portland. I play video games like Halo and Call of Duty. I love to read about mysteries and monster books. I love to draw pictures and small comic strips. My capstone is 3D art. I am hoping to get into Benson Polytechnic High School next year. My favorite TV show is The Walking Dead. My favorite colors are black and turquoise.My plan for capstone was to make many beautiful pieces of art that are puppets of monsters. My theme is puppets. Mainly monster puppets, but there are some different ones. For most of the year I was uncertain of what I wanted to do for my capstone. About half way through, I finally figured it out by making a huge cardboard “Alien Head.” Now I am continuing to create new pieces out of cardboard. My favorite piece is called “Cartoon Demon.” It is a demon puppet with a cute cartoony feel. I hope you had fun reading about this and I hope you enjoy the artwork in the show.
