Boy, has it been a while. I can’t believe October is already coming to an end. Soon, the holiday season will kick into full gear. Random note: As much as I dislike cold weather, my skin unnaturally clears up. Bring on the winter! Noteworthy: I am a newly employed graphic designer at a website company… [Read more…]

I try so hard to pretend that shopping doesn’t excite me. But it does. My mother brought me up to have a high tolerance for shopping. Every Sunday after church, we’d drive off to the shopping mall where she’d train my sister and I to look for good clothes at bargain values. I think we… [Read more…]

Things have been busy for me lately. Finding an internship these days is hard, not to mention finding paid work! All in all, it’s also difficult to remember to just kick it and have fun. I aim to give a more substantial update soon, but I must ask this very pressing question: Piggy bank or… [Read more…]

Bookstores have always been a favorite hang out of mine. I appreciate them all, big and small. Sometimes, I’ll go in to make myself feel more intellectual. But many times, I visit to simply indulge in the visual: tasty book covers on display, as if they were individual little posters that happened to cover pages… [Read more…]

… go away. Felt like making this the other day while at work. I drew the figure first and cut it out. Then I taped it to a blue background. 12″ x 16.5″ I love working with cray-pas! – On another note, I updated my website (Flash reader required). Check it out – it has… [Read more…]

There’s no beating around the bush on this one: lately, I’ve been intrigued by Dot Art markers. They are incredibly fun to use! Yet another medium found in grade school that I shouldn’t underestimate – in addition to crayons and washable markers. The weather has been getting better these days as spring is making its rounds… [Read more…]

A music band, Omega Code (not linked to any movie or academic study of prophetic concealed Biblical code) asked a bunch of great artists to design posters for their upcoming album, “Ω”. In addition, they decided to hold an open call for fan art, of course inspired by their music. Then I found out about… [Read more…]

Engineering school was a four-year block of time when I truly stepped away from my artistic identity. No one knew I could seriously draw until my senior year in college, when I began to consider the possibility of becoming a creative professional. Returning to my creative identity feels like stepping out of some sort of… [Read more…]

Did you know? I work part-time at a K-8 school in Manhattan. I help supervise the students who are enrolled in the afterschool program, whether it’s means serving snacks, enforcing playground rules or trying to resolve conflicts. People say I appear to be someone who is good with kids and I don’t disagree with this.… [Read more…]

One of my favorite colors to work with is a nice bold yellow. I don’t find the pale yellow/baby yellow color to be that appealing unless it’s for little children, babies and mildly tan women. At my current internship at Fresh Concentrate, I was assigned to create a logo for a Filipino culture/history school and… [Read more…]
