Examining the core of personality with one word, such as "A Boy Named Truth". It has been said that the characters in René Capone's artwork look as if they are on a deeply personal quest for identity and their place in the world. This is still true ... only now that the characters are more comfortable in their skin, the road is not as treacherous and the destination no longer frightens them.
