the only wool artist in the world

that is how he describes himself. wolly-hewitt from brabados, “I am the only wool artist in the world, son of god, the master artist and creator” esteban met him when he arrived and asked him to draw puerto seguro for me as a christmas gift.




when we went to pick up the drawing he invited us to his cool little shack which served as a shoe repair place/art studio where he proudly showed off his portraits of bob marley, mandela, and obama, all made out of wool. what an episode, meeting this funny and cool man and his friend who is also an artist making all sorts of artifacts out of popsicle sticks; just another of the experiences we love of this trip: meeting and spending some time with the locals.
