Pancakes and Pin-ups.

"Why didn't I think of that?" idea of the week - scented jewelry mini-dessert charms from Pancake Meow ((how cute is that brand name?)). They don't only look astonishingly real, they smell real too ((of course I can only imagine how good they must smell from here on the other side ...

Find the outline, things will tell you their name.

Finally I can show you some stuff my Arn has been working on these past few weeks. These four albums from SonyBMG are just the first batch of a series of 2-in-1 cds that feature the music of 90s bands like Yano, Sugar Hiccup, Sandwich and Color it Red. Don't mistake ...

Today’s the day that all the world will see.

Guess what, this blog is turning 5 years old by the end of the month! To mark this milestone (well it is for me, anyway), I've decided to turn the substance factor up a notch and post more graphic design-related entries*. And by that I don't mean sitting idly and ...

More Andong, more projects…

Please please please buy my Arn's book Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat: now available at Comic Quest (Megamall, SM City North Edsa) and by now it should already be at National Book Store, Powerbooks, Fully Booked and Filbars. Less than a week after it's release, we were excited to have ...

Si Andong Agimat, andito na!

Hope you friends can support my dear hubby's new book. This is my Arn's take on the Filipino "superhero". Hope you enjoy it - I read it one sitting and give it 5/5 kittypoints (not just because he's my hubby mind you, I honestly think it's his best yet). :D Now ...

The schedules are not available on the site yet but the following films from the Philippines are slated to be ...

Si Andong Agimat, parating na.

Please mark your calendars, dear people! My Arn's new novel is coming out in April 2006. We sent out about 15 teaser ads, each one sporting a different character/design, to different sets of email addies and thanks to Technorati's watchlist feature, so far I've seen 7 of them pop up ...

Who are the people in your neighborhood?

Still on proud-wifey mode: my Arn designed and illustrated these Harajuku-style cartoon characters for a McDonald's Singapore ad campaign promoting seaweed shaker fries and teppanyaki burgers* conceptualized by our good friends Mike and Sheila dela Cuesta of LB Sing late last year. Since it's been 5 months already, I guess ...

I plug, WE plug

This is a week late but if you haven't seen it yet, please click here to read the Sunday Inquirer Magazine's feature on my Arn. (: And wouldn't you know it, today's issue of SIM has an article on my cousin's husband, director Lauren Dyogi. What a coinkydink! *** As recently announced, ...

Funny bunnies

If you have 30 seconds to spare, I suggest that you watch the bunnified blockbuster* films at Angry Alien. Yes, bunnified, as in starred in by bunnies. Can you tell what movies the bunnies are re-enacting? If , like me, you don't have the guts ever plan to to watch The ...

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".

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 ...
