It was an honour to design invitations for a good friend's wedding. I knew that I wanted to do this for her when she first told me of the engagement; it's the least I could do for someone who was very special to me at one point in time.I've received mine today in the mail! It was nice getting the invitation in a normal way, especially considering I printed them myself. Hah! (Well, she and her

Let me show you the first prints I've done. Please click on the pictures for a detailed look.Suklay (Comb). This is my first ever woodcut. The relief was cut from pine plywood, using traditional woodcutting tools and a Dremel® powerdrill. My professor at the time appraised this block to around one thousand dollars. I was thrilled! I gave away the edition to some close friends for Christmas, while

Upon learning of a terrible tragedy that happened very recently, I knew I wanted to make something handmade for my friend/s who have lost so much. I did some research and have learned that red poppies symbolize grief during wartime. I figure this is the only appropriate place to start from.My first poppies turned out wrong. I've used red watercolor to intensify the center of the flowers...but it

The bountyhunter would have to wait. It's not as much because of ADD, it's just that I have so many projects in my head and I find it hard to focus on one thing before moving on to another.With this new project I revive my interest in the Sarimanok. Simply put, it's a mythical bird adorning the roofs or doors of the homes in Southern Philippines, where Islam is prevalent. The bird perches on a

Apparently my sad little misshapen phoenix decided to rise up a week behind. Better late than never, I suppose. I need to power up again. Good thing this current week's theme is delicious. I will post again soon.

Wind (my First Illustration Friday post)Typhoons are frequent back home, and schools only decide to suspend classes whenever the weather gods declare a Signal No. 2 or 3. Oftentimes this happens when the students are in school already. I remember having to walk home in my uniform, braving the harsh winds and at the same time trying to hold down my ankle-length skirt to stay where it should. One
