Aside from my online (home-based) store, my products — art prints, postcards, etc — are now also available at two lovely stores in the Katipunan, Quezon City area. The first one is Hey Kessy who has been carrying my products since last year actually. I’va also held a couple of workshops there before and am having another one on July 2 — please see my previous post for details. 🙂

Hey Kessy has recently moved to a cozy space at the U.P. Town Center’s new Urban Turf section on the 2nd floor which is pretty awesome because it can now be easily accessed by mall-goers. They have a new section called After Nine Keeper which is a pop-up of goods by local artists and crafters including my friends Arlene Sy, Megan Dino, Tweed & Twine, Rubber Ducky Stamp Co., and more!

There you will also find these handmade notebooks below featuring my watercolor cat and girl illustrations. The notebooks are bound by an elastic string with tiny shrink plastic charms and the notebooks are designed in a way that the paper inside can be replaced / refilled. 🙂

Also in Katipunan, right across Ateneo is this wondrous place called Common Room which is essentially a pop-up containing artworks & crafts by around 60 local designers. I’m proud to have my products along with the many beautiful things stocked there. 🙂

So many wonderful photo-opps there too. When I hand-delivered this “Ang Nawawala” print, I couldn’t help but take a photo along with the LOVE Scrabble pillows by PopJunkLove. <3 Below is another photo I took just today and I love how it also shows the variety of goods you’ll find in-store.

Apart from Hey Kessy and Common Room,some of my cards can also be found at Prism Gallery in Makati. 🙂 They were part of an exhibit before but Prism decided to retain them in their collection so please do visit the gallery if you’re in the area.

Hi guys! I’ll be having another SHRINK PLASTIC WORKSHOP on July 2 (that’s a Saturday) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the new Hey Kessy shop in U.P. Town Center in Katipunan Quezon City, 2nd floor of the Urban Turf section. In this workshop you will learn how to turn your doodles into wearable and usable shrink art pendants, magnets, etc. Above and below are pics of some of my own doodles that I turned into shrink art. 🙂

Beginner crafters are absolutely welcome, by the way! Learners from age 12 and above (even way above ;)) are ideal because we will be using very hot equipment like a toaster oven and a heat gun. Please see the workshops page for more details or fill up this form to secure your slot!

Hey guys! I’m having a watercolor food illustration workshop at Prism Gallery in Makati on April 30 from 9am-12nn. Class fee, inclusive of materials and yummy snacks and food props (c/0 Chili Asylum!) is P2500.00.

This class is perfect for those of you who want to preserve or chronicle your favorite recipes in a fun way in your journals and sketchbooks.

If you’ve been checking my IG, haha yes all those tomato drawings were in preparation for this class! Prism Gallery’s Gold Tantoco asked me to hold a workshop there as far back as August of last year, but I already had classes lined up (and I can only handle one workshop every 2-3 months :P) so this actually took several months to plan. I’m glad it’s finally happening. 🙂

At first I couldn’t think of a theme (aside from portraits) to teach… and then the project with Chili Asylum popped up last January. That brought about the idea of a food illustration class with a twist and since I love Chili Asylum products, it was only fitting that they would be providing the snacks. (Thank you, Isi!)

The class is open to learners with basic skills in drawing and painting in watercolors. Don’t worry though if you haven’t painted in a while — we will review color theory and some general techniques in watercolor painting such as the wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry methods, among others.

Workshop kits will include a watercolor set, brushes, watercolor paper, a fineliner + a pencil and an eraser.

To sign up, please call Prism at 886-3947 or e-mail prismgalleryph@gmail.com (kindly put APRIL WORKSHOPS on the subject line.)

Hope to see you there!
