El mejor estado

Raymond M Escobedo

Refran: "Jalisco, the state of tequila 

 Where the land never dies alone"


Card Description: For my Loteria Card I wanted to share my thought on Jalisco and show just how amazing it is.  I chose Jalisco as a subject matter because I love Jalisco and just love everything about it.  The colors in the piece represent beauty and agave.  For me personally, this card represents beauty and where my family is from.  I want the audience to see just how beautiful it really is and see that Jalisco truly is the best state in Mexico.


Student Biography: My name is Raymond Escobedo AKA RayRay and I am a senior at Santa Maria High School. I live in Santa Maria, California with my mom, dad, and 2 sisters. My family is from Jalisco, Mexico. In my Loteria card, I chose to represent the state of Jalisco. What inspired me to draw my Loteria card was just Jalisco because I love it there it's a beautiful state and, in my eyes, the best state in all of Mexico. The artistic process was amazing because it felt good to draw and felt natural. I felt really passionate to make my Loteria card what it is. Life after high school will be to go straight to a 4-year university and major in Marketing then get my masters in Sports Marketing.
