“It’s NEVER too late to follow your DREAMS!

I Am Human is about our shared humanity: about dreams, and the sometimes tumultuous and traumatic journeys it takes to realize them. Sometimes the greatest gifts in life are disguised as the hardest of lessons tucked inside the deepest of healings.

This story really began the first day I walked alone to school. I remember it vividly. I was terrified to walk another step. When I reached the end of my yard, I was completely frozen, paralyzed by fear. But I knew the only way that I was going to get out of this was to take another step.

In 2001, after years of addiction, being arrested became the next step toward salvation. It was a turning point in my life. I had to unravel to get back to myself.

Figure drawing became my path. This is the thing: art is largely an exercise in self-discovery, in re-discovering the world around you with new eyes. Join me as I learn to see life and salvation through art.

Filled with over 200 pages of color sketches and paintings

Praise for
I AM HUMAN

“Each One of Us has a Particular Magic, when we Believe and Act in our Highest Joy.” — 

“I Am Human” is Peter Bragino’s own (illustrated) UNLOK manual, divine nectar for artists and aesthetes alike, earned from years of searching, healing, and working on his own particular and abundant Magic. Peter’s work is his walk, and his eyes and hand conjure energies and personalities both sympathetic and strange, kind of like everyone I’ve cared to know, come to think of it. Sparkling and alive, these pages are the evidence of great power, persistence, and relationship with Self and the Divine. —  UNLOK

“An inspirational journey of perseverance, passion and personal lore. Pete sinks his teeth in to his ideas and DOES NOT LET GO!”

Douglas Einer Olsen, Director & Storyboard Artist

“I have to tell you, this book is great, it shows something crucial that we need in life: evolution. It’s cathartic for you all this and I’m glad you did it and stayed with it. It’s also a great snapshot of not only artistic growth, but spiritual growth as well.”

Matt Wolfe, Entertainment contributor at ABC radio

“I Am Human is a transparent look into an artists journey. You not only see a progression of artistry, but a transformation of the soul.”

“I laughed and cried and laughed even more. Peter’s book is transformational from the moment you dive in. The artistry of the sketches combined with Peter’s moving narrative bring you to a new place within yourself. Working at the subconscious level that is hard to put into words, the book helped me to connect into my humanness. I cannot wait to share this book with my friends, family and clients and for the discussions that will come as a result. Thank you Peter for pouring your heart and soul into this book and sharing it with the world.”
