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 ...

Hello again, it’s me.

Wow, in four days it will be a year since I last updated this blog! Where did the time go? I don't even know what to write about here anymore. *sheepish grin* There are actually TWO things that prompted me to post an update. 1) A conversation I had with my friend ...

A lot goes on but nothing happens.

Okay, that's not entirely true ((the subject heading, I mean. It's a song lyric like always)) -- a lot has happened since my last update. I've quite forgotten how to write blog posts so allow me to do it in bullets. * My husband Arnold Arre is Powerbooks' Author of ...

You made me like it more and more

My husband Arnold's latest graphic novel, Martial Law Babies will finally be out in stores next week. Hope you can check out the fully-packed site which features a synopsis, preview pages, online ordering info (coming soon), and notes by Arn on how he came up with the idea to write ...

Hooray hooray, I’m your silver lining

Finally -- a cleaner, fresher, more "grown-up" look ((Well I am 36 y.o. after all)). And best of all, look at all that space! I got so used to my last layout's narrow posting area that I can't get over how roomy this is. :) But what exactly happened, you ...

They’re watching you watching you watching you watching you

(We interrupt this blogging silence with a short plug for my hubby's latest comic effort) Meet Iris Able, the smartest kid in MacGuffin Plains. She has an encyclopedic knowledge about science, technology and math that it seems she has the entire internet in her head. But because she keeps to herself ...

It can be something to do on a bright afternoon

I was on a roll so I just *had to* make a few more: . "Summer's Child"; "Preppy in Pink" . "Scooter Sister"; "Lazy Daisy" . "Easy Breezy"; "Pup Princess" . They're already at my Cafepress and Printfection stores and it would mean a lot to me if you could help spread the word about them. :) . On Cafepress ...

And I feel so free, yeah I feel alright.

Last week when I was organizing my workspace, I found some of my raggedy old sketchbooks ((Back from when I was a college freshman so hello, that was 20 years ago!)) and suddenly got a burst of inspiration to pick up a pencil and draw for no specific reason -- ...

They’re just paper cuts, I’ll sellotape them up.

Because I have a new efficient workspace, I thought of giving my nearly two-year-old yet never-been-used Print Gocco a whirl today. . Finally! It's been sitting inside that box for too long. These pics were taken in October 2006. . I bought my Print Gocco PG-5 at the Shibuya Tokyu Hands in 2006 for ...

In this room, in this room of mine.

I've been wanting to do a home office makeover ((Whatever for did I watch all those episodes of Merge, Clean House, and Design Remix when we still had the Lifestyle channel?)) for the longest time, and it was last month's termite invasion that pushed me to finally do it. I'll ...

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 ...
