What Robert really seemed to crave, David thought, was forgiveness - penance. He told his brother he wanted to come back home. If anyone could understand him, Robert figured, it would be David. One day, Robert returned to Richmond and found David in their parents’ garage. He moved out but soon felt lonely, isolated and miserable. But even in a wheelchair he was rebellious, blowing insurance money on a lowrider and partying harder than ever. The priest also remarked that Robert was highly spiritual, a comment that surprised his family.ĭavid went back to college and Robert returned to his parents in Richmond. When David and their mother reached the hospital, a priest told her that Robert must have been pulled from the grave by a guardian angel. His right leg had to be amputated below the knee. Someone had hopped into a car and gunned it in Robert’s direction, pinning him between two cars. Robert and some friends had scuffled with a group of young men on the side of a desert road. One day in 1980, David got an urgent call from a hospital in Reno. Robert moved to Nevada to work in the Job Corps. He drew a comic strip for Lowrider magazine with characters familiar - for better or worse - to just about anyone growing up in Mexican American barrios. David enrolled at California College of the Arts in Oakland. The brothers were close, but their paths kept diverging. He got into fights, burglarized homes with his friends and landed in jail. His brother Robert, younger by a year, hung out with a rougher crowd. “I knew David was going to be an artist,” said his mother, Agnes. He asked his parents to take him out of a Roman Catholic school and enroll him in a public school because the latter had an art program. Gonzales, one of five boys in a family scraping by in a tough neighborhood, grew up intense, artistic and studious.
Sometimes, he bared his soul to a priest. He felt harried by a sense that time was slipping away, sounding curiously like someone stuck in his own plastic bubble. Oil paintings by Gonzales, often with religious themes, hang on the walls of his home - a reminder that the artist created the toy maker, not the other way around.

He wanted to hit the big time with an animated TV show - something that would really leave his imprint. Yet there has been a gnawing feeling of unfulfilled goals and unmet expectations. The Pasadena Museum of California Art is hosting an exhibit on his Homies, and Nintendo will soon release a Homies video game. His characters have adorned back-to-school folders, lunchboxes, breath mints and beach towels. Gonzales has been featured in national magazines, including Rolling Stone, and rubbed shoulders with celebrities. “I call this house ‘the house that the Homies built,’ ” he said. The 47-year-old Gonzales, now a father of three children in college, lives in an elegant two-story Spanish-style house overlooking San Francisco Bay, just down the road from the flinty central Richmond neighborhood where he grew up. Naturally, they then sold better than ever: more than 120 million to date. Gonzales was lambasted by police and prosecutors, who said the impish images exploited gang life for profit. Inspired by the homeboys he grew up with, they were sold, quarter by quarter, in gum ball machines in mostly Latino neighborhoods. His profile pictures usually contain of anime girls.Ten years ago, David Gonzales created a hit with “The Homies,” 2-inch plastic figurines depicting characters from the barrio, complete with bandannas and baggy pants. He has black curly hair and dark brown eyes, no one has seen his actual face, other than ellie-chan (an other server member who is in the same class (school) as him), he changes his profile picture frequently. Though, his music taste is pretty good and enjoyable. When listening to music with the other server members, he tries to find songs that others will most likely enjoy. The way to stay happy is to listen to "happy Japanese moosik", and that apparently works for him. He also likes Vocaloid/Utaus, and their songs.
Most of the time, he is extremely confused by the confusing world. Whyin enjoys Dating Sim games, but not the weird ones, he says.
The amount of sus cat gifs he has is amazing, and apparently he likes sharing them. He loves calling people (specifically Sax-19) gay or lesbian, for an unknown reason. When he is only talking to 1-2 people he usually changes topic extremely randomly. He also has a big love for cats, like Saxlamar/Sax-19, even though he owns a dog. He has a soft spot and it randomly "activates", at those times he acts soft and extremely kind. Sometimes it is obvious and sometimes it isn't. Sometimes he sounds very mad even though he is not at all, that's because of the way he talks. The way he words things are sort of "funny". He is considered as real life tsundere, he acts harsh but is deeply kind and caring.
