\"women<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m very honored to have been asked by Adobo Magazine<\/a> to draw in watercolor three of this year’s Women of Influence<\/em> for their March-April issue. As some of you already know, I was in the advertising industry\u00a0for almost a decade back in the ’90s so I felt a little nostalgic while working on this project. \u00a0\ud83d\ude0e \u00a0The lovely ladies I was assigned are\u00a0(from left to right)\u00a0Merlee Jayme (CEO of DM9JaymeSyfu), Lorna Tabuena (Co-owner of Film Pabrika), and Joanna Mojica (Managing Director of\u00a0Starcom Mediavest Group).<\/p>\n

The objective was to portray them in a manner best representative of their accomplishments and status.\u00a0Of the three women, I’ve only had the pleasure of meeting Merlee — a\u00a0creative director I’ve always\u00a0looked up to — long ago when we had lunch to\u00a0explore the possibility of me working with her in Saatchi. \ud83d\ude09 \u00a0I wanted to learn more about Ms. Tabuena and Ms. Mojica so it\u00a0helped a lot when Adobo’s Victor and Charisma sent me their interviews. It\u00a0struck me that these highly successful women were most proud of their accomplishments as mothers and wives, which is why I thought of making the portraits elegant\u00a0and\u00a0feminine, hence the flowers and light colors.<\/p>\n

There’s a closer view of\u00a0the illustrations in the Portfolio section<\/a>. Many thanks to Angel Guerrero of Adobo for this golden\u00a0opportunity.<\/p>\n

On another note, I’m thrilled to announce that I’m joining my first craft fair on Saturday, April 11 in Bonifacio Global City for\u00a0the BGC Art Mart. I honestly didn’t think I’d be able to join one this soon but my friend, Marita Alcazaren de Leon of Handmade Lemonade<\/a>, a veteran of these bazaars, convinced and encouraged me to try it out so I applied. I could’ve signed up for one whole weekend but I don’t trust my energy resources anymore. \ud83d\ude1b Here\u00a0are some of the items I’ll be selling —<\/p>\n
