Art girl… I-i love you

[caption id="attachment_464" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Sleeping Like A Marble Girl"][/caption] (Thanks to DidipusRex for the beautiful photo!) We had the exhibit opening for Frailty - the all-female exhibit I posted about before - last weekend. Some pics below, [caption id="attachment_433" align="alignnone" width="400" caption="Frailty Exhibit Opening"][/caption] ... and there are *tons* more via these links: one ...

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 ...

Gothic flavor, how I miss you.

UPDATE (Aug.26, 2008) Overhaul in progress. Please pardon the mess. Sorry for the silence. As you may have noticed, something went wrong with my blog's wordpress installation and I haven't had time to look into it -- I'm actually afraid that an overhaul might be necessary *shudders*. . I did make 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 ...

Put your lights on the tree (put them on the tree, put them on the tree)

A recent conversation I had with our friend Luis inspired me to ask you guys this question ((I've already asked a similar question to my friend network on Facebook and it's gotten a slew of fascinating responses.)): Can you name the top five songs you've recently discovered (or rediscovered) while ...

All that we are, all we do is here forever.

Just in case you heard rumors about it through the extremely tiny Metro Manila grapevine, please allow us to finally confirm that yes, it's true: Unitel Productions acquired the film rights to Arn's 2006 graphic novel "Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat". We couldn't announce it formally ((Although of course family ...

Baby can you hear the message I am sending?

I first became aware of Aussie rocker Ben Lee's music via the album "Breathing Tornados" 9 years ago ((aka the Claire Danes years)), way before Grey's Anatomy ladled out Catch My Disease for global consumption, and since then he was always one of the artists whose releases I would anticipate. ...

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 ...
