This is the pure essence of 'don't judge a book by its cover'. The pages in this dudes story runs deep and his ability to communicate his experiences are well beyond what most humans can verbally contextualize. I don't have any tattoos, but I'm now a fan!

[@SuperAZPatriot]

This young man is articulate and very well spoken. I could not stop listening to him tell his story. Also in my opinion, he told many of our stories , (as far as our culture goes. ) Growing up in the early 60’s , when we entered public school, it always felt like we were expected to make a choice on how to identify ourselves We were only allowed to check one box- I always checked two American and Hispanic😂I have always stood my ground, I was proud to be both. Chuco has a very rare gift - he is an old soul and is very passionate about what he believes in. One thing for sure is he is on a completely different level. I’m definitely sharing this video and buying his book. Thank you for sharing his story- much respect.

What is Chucos book called? I wanna read more about this Chicano inspirational person, he has inspired me so much in my personal tattoo journey for real man.

[@TheArtistConnection]

I got the book of his website "chucomoreno95237.com" I'm not sure if it's still on there but you could probably email or DM to ask about it👍

[@DanielGarcia-ps7qm]

I’m trying to find the book you refer to in the interview but all that comes up are his sketchbooks. Does he have an actual biography released ? Thanks 🙏

[@TheArtistConnection]

I think it was a limited run. Your best bet would probably be commenting or DM’ing on his IG and ask about it🤙

[@DanielGarcia-ps7qm]

[@andyhoms2001]

This guy has to be close to 50. And not one gray hair... amazing !!! I'm guessing that we're roughly the same age. Same state. Same region...SoCal L.A. SFV. I'm jealous!

[@erickt2665]

He’s a norteño bro

[@maxone5288]

Some of these comments are too much lol.

[@letshavecoffee]

I noticed how he said he’s “California” but doesn’t mention which part…is he ashamed of being from up North?

[@geesup5214]

Obiosly not a norteño if he was a oldschool norteño he would have a mongolian stile hair .

[@booboowamericancholo2906]
