“Young cat, if you keep your eyes open enough, oh, the stuff you would learn. The most wonderful stuff.” - Dr. Seuss

Another year wiser…

So how have you been? Me? I was neck deep in work and more importantly, in offline life, since the last time I blogged: 1. Arn and I had new water pipes installed in our home. The original pipes were more than 20 years old and one of them had leaked, ...

More of my domestic adventures.

How very interesting - a knitted wedding! (I remember Nest telling me about this when we saw each other a few days ago.) Everything, from the bride's gown, wedding cake, flowers and confetti were knitted, and it all began with this invitation for contributions from knitters all over the UK. ...

Arn’s Mural, Tippi’s launch, etc

If you were in Megamall recently, you might have chanced upon this 6 ft x 4 ft mural of Level-Up's new game RF Online in the basement, next to Netopia. Uhm, I'm not a gamer so why am I posting it? Because my Arn illustrated it so am being a ...

Work and Play

While I occupied myself designing t-shirts and whatnot, Arn was busy creating a card game to accompany his latest book The Mythology Class Special Collected Edition. The game is now available for download (for FREE!) at the Myth Class website so please do give it a try. It's really ...

Random cool stuff.

"Building Stories" (or what a building might think if it can). Chris Ware fans (me included, natch) will be happy to know that he has an ongoing downloadable strip at the NYtimes Funny Pages. *** I would love to own everything they sell at Pixel Girl Shop. Check out these goodies: Origami ...

A word about rip-offs.

Frequent visitors know (and may already be tired of) how I've always raved about Japanese design, but I've been wanting to tell you about Yusuke Nakamura for quite sometime now. I "discovered" him via his eyecatching work on albums and dvds for the Asian Kung Fu Generation. Here's one of ...

Pardon my geek.

Thanks to the rah-rah from good pals Carlo and Terry, I'm now an InDesign convert -- a mere 12 hours after they convinced me to give it a try. This is actually a big deal because I've been a loyal Freehand user since the Aldus days. I only started enjoying ...

Andong Agimat Animated!

What happened since the last time I blogged here? Lots! LOL but I'm not here to talk about them right now since I only have time to share with you Arnold's latest project, an animated film starring his very own Andong Agimat! Arn's never animated before (except for the flip books ...

All’s well that ends well

I apologize for being in a bad mood today but a certain "Totally Creative Graphic Design Studio" totally ripped off one of my original artworks and is selling it on notepads, journals and other stationery in their store "Invitation House". Tsk. My original design, a low-res image of which has been ...

You make me want to tell all I know

My husband Arnold is working on his second short film called "Kaye for Komiks". It's basically about a boy and a girl who bonds over a shared love for the comics medium. The film is still a work in progress but he made a 1-minute teaser video so you can ...

I don’t have a reason, but I live like I do

In an alternate reality, the Eraserheads actually released an 8th final full-length album titled Waltz This Knee containing 8 new tracks by the Philippines' fab four. This is the album's wraparound sleeve that I designed: In this reality however, the revolutionary team of Uno Magazine invited me to illustrate a piece ...
