At The Heart of Serendra (Part 2)

I can’t believe we just finished painting the heart mural in Serendra. I’m grateful & honored to have been asked to redo our heart.  In case you missed it, you may read about the first abstract heart we painted last February here. I wish I took more photos but the most I could do was […]

I’ve been wanting to write my thoughts down since Saturday! In fact, I spent the whole weekend last week editing these photos and sending it to the people by Sunday morning just because I was so happy.  I didn’t want the moment to pass. Fellow new moms always ask me how I go about my

INK Illustration Masterclass at the Ayala Museum

Looking back at the past 7+ years that I’ve been blogging, I’m actually amused how much time I had on my hands to be able to create & upload stuff regularly. Hahaha.  These days, as a new mom, my hands are full as I juggle my different roles but I’m grateful nonetheless. By the way,

Letters & Colors Singapore / Manila

We just finished another sold out session of Letters & Colors. I’m still chuckling because the last thing I ever thought of when I started working with Abbey Sy is a collab.  We were always busy going about our deadlines together but we had very different styles and palettes. But I guess, we agree on

You Are Worthy of Your Dreams

From time to time, I would receive DM’s & e-mails about how I go about pricing my artworks & such. There has always been a great debate about whether creatives should accept pro bono work especially when they’re building their portfolio. As much as I’d like to preach, I can only speak from my own

Full Circle

I am trying to make a conscious effort of not starting this blog post (and every blog post this year) with “so much has changed in my life lately since Riley was born” but it has! Things just went into full circle this year and it’s as if motherhood is here to make me realize

This is one rare weekend where I don’t actually have an event or deadly deadline so I checked out the Ultimate Art Jam at SM Fairview this afternoon. 🙂   Also, I saw the lineup & I really wanted to see the JC Vargas create a watercolor piece.  I would only see his works online.

Watercolor Workshop for Kids the Ayala Museum

I can’t believe it’s really happening!  I’ve always wanted to collaborate with Ayala Museum for years now but I always thought it was a remote idea! The reason why I have so much respect for Ayala Museum is that despite all the rants I’ve been reading on TV & social media about our country, it

How to Paint on Your Denim

I always told myself that I will have my patterns printed so I can wear them.  These days, it’s challenging to squeeze in time for personal work with a full schedule.  So, I was just really happy to have been invited by Penshoppe to be one of the artists for their Denim Lab DIY Bar.

Mommy’s Birthday + Father’s Day

These days, I’m officially a member of the mombie (mom + zombie) society.  It means that when everyone’s asleep, I get to have some guilt-free me time.  I was supposed to blog last night but after putting my 20 pound 5 1/2 month baby to sleep, I just felt like my arms were made of

For the longest time, I noticed that I only have one color palette in mind & that is my own–vibrant bright colors or pastel hues.  My sister-in-law who works in the fashion industry would always tell me, “You can always combine colors as long as they belong to the same family”.   I think after
