Morning.

Another day moving to the rhythm of responsibilities.

Like every day.

Never enough time to do everything I’d like.

Life.

My life.

Today I’m wearing a blue shirt and green pants.

I guess I’m feeling a little earthy today.

I’m constantly on YouTube.

I don’t really feel guilty about it.

Most of the time, I’m trying to learn something.

While I’m out making deliveries, I’ll listen to videos about art.

Writing.

Filmmaking.

Sometimes business.

Sometimes history.

And yes…

Sometimes I’ll go down the rabbit hole.

Aliens.

Ghosts.

The unexplained.

😂

Not everything has to be practical.

Sometimes curiosity is enough.

You only get one ride through this life.

You might as well keep learning while you’re moving.

Enjoy your cup of coffee.

Question

What’s something you’ve learned recently—not because you had to, but simply because you were curious?

Echoes of the Garage is my running record of rebuilding—structure, soul, and stubborn hope. I’m writing, illustrating, and hustling in LA, turning the everyday into story. If you’re learning to carry weight without losing yourself, you’re home here. Read more on the About page.

About Me

I’m Roberto Sanchez — illustrator, writer, and delivery driver in Los Angeles.

By day, I sell plastic bags out of a van across South Central.

By night, I draw, write, and build my life brick by brick.

I graduated from Cal State Long Beach in 2022 with a BFA in Illustration, but art has never been just school to me. It’s survival, reflection, and expression. My illustrations come slow — patience is part of the work.

I live and create out of a converted garage.

That small room became Echoes of the Garage — the place where I put words, drawings, and the pieces of a life I’m rebuilding one step at a time.

Here you’ll find journal entries, Hood Chronicles, and visual experiments that try to capture the absurd, the painful, and the human in everyday life.

This is where I put it all: drawings, words, and fragments of a life in motion.
