When I first sat down with Abbey in December 2014 for some supposed art session-turned-four-hours-of-talk, the last thing I had in mind was a collab workshop. To boot, I knew we had very different styles. As we went along with our projects, we both knew we were working with very different palettes. Also, I had […]
Wahh! Just like that April is over! After every event, I’m always thinking “Oh, I’ll upload these photos tomorrow” but it’s as if someone pressed the fast forward button. It even seems that Riley is growing twice as fast as I expected him to be! He has just tripled his birth weight! This is him
So I was busy taking care of Riley and adjusting to our new life with the baby. I was supposed to finish an artwork then on one fateful day, I got three text messages from Mansy, Alessa & Abbey asking me if I’d like to join them to talk about Design Week! I dropped everything
Whew! What a week. I was holding workshops & attending meetings and events the past 5 days. I promised myself I will take a day off. Well, what I meant by it was I’ll be spending more time with Riley & working (at lightning speed) while he sleeps. 😀 I opened my schedule to accommodate
Went to the SM Stationery Art Fest last Wednesday and I must say it’s like a dream come true for my younger self. When I was 6 years old, I would always spend time looking at stationery supplies before and after ballet & voice lessons. Haha. I remember in particular that aside from being an
Hello Everyone! I must say, I miss being able to blog & do comics regularly but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Riley is pretty much the center of our lives now. Some friends are even joking he’s our meme now & there might be no need for comics. Haha. “Haha! That’s so funny
I don’t know how many times I’ll start my blog posts with “What? It’s (insert month) already? I really thought that by March, I would be blogging regularly with comics. Another month is about to end and so far, I’m only able to do micro-blogging on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram. 🙂 Again, thank you for
Hello Guys! Oh my gosh. Time flies when you’re busy feeding and changing diapers! I can’t believe it’s March already! We’re still adjusting to our new life as parents. I would always laugh at the kind of life I had when we didn’t have kids. I felt that I didn’t have enough time then. Thank
When I started blogging almost 7 years ago, I never thought that one day, I’d actually have a post similar to this. Hahaha. 🙂 Back then, the hubby was still my boyfriend. So, if you’re reading this today & you somehow caught us on Tumblr, thank you & we’re sending you big virtual hugs. 🙂
Last Valentine’s Day, we were tasked to paint a huge heart in the middle of Serendra. Halfway through, here’s one of the sides with a bit of splatter. It reminded me of the chocolate drizzle I would see on desserts. To me, it looks like one giant candy heart. 🙂 You know what’s so awesome about
One of the things that I tried staying away from when I was pregnant were food that weren’t really entirely prohibited but recommended to be kept to a minimum such as tea, coffee, raw fish, raw egg, raw meat & cured meat. So, just imagine how awesome it was to have had my first cup
I never took sleep & water seriously until I became a mom. I didn’t know how much an hour or two of extra snooze time can bring back my sanity. Then, there’s water–the amount I drink determines how much food I can provide for my little Rye and the state of my health. Finally, omg…nicely drawn
The good news is that Pantone came out with an updated Pantone Extended Gamut Color Guide. It works the same way: the original CMYK has been made more efficient by adding Orange, Green & Purple. Now, you have an alternative instead of using mostly spot colors when you want a particular shade printed.
Hello guys! 🙂 Thank you so much to all those who already got a copy of our travel coloring book, Around the World with the Googly Gooeys. Thanks for tagging us in your photos and updating us with the supplies and where you got them. 🙂 Keep on posting them artworks with the #GGcoloringbook hashtag
Hello Guys! 🙂 How are ya? 🙂 Today, I’ve asked the help of my younger sister Trissia. While I love solid colors, she’s into gradients & shading. We both love doing digital art but if there’s a traditional medium that she’s been dabbling with for so many years now, they’re colored pencils. 🙂 When we
Well, this is it! I can’t believe I’m actually writing a blog post about our son Riley. These days, I’m always thinking “He’s here! He’s finally here!” But, days before I gave birth, after ten months of waiting, the thought of having a son was still an idea. I said I have yet to believe
Every morning, I wake up thinking that since there isn’t really much to do since I’m pretty much done with all the workshops, major events and exhibits. Then, the e-mails come trickling in, I discover that I have to devote so much time or errands while preparing for the baby and work on my last
Just in case I give birth in the coming days & you’re wondering how I was able to come up with a blog post, I’m writing this a day after Christmas. We had to attend 4 parties in a span of 24 hours. The next day, I wanted to do a quick workout in the
I always forget to bring my power bank. If I ever do, it’s the one that I forgot to charge! I thought was the only one then I ran a Twitter survey and got these results: Apparently, there’s a lot of us! *Whew!* Hehehe. I don’t know why I do this to myself. I’m also
So, Ponggo & I were talking the other day & we were thinking, what if the baby was born on Christmas eve or Christmas day? We were picking baby names and toying around with the idea of changing his second name to something else like Noel, Christian, Emmanuel and stuff? Then, we thought of names from Christmas songs like Rudolph, Daher, Prancer, Frosty (the snowman) or even Olaf as our friends suggested so at least it’s more updated thanks to the animated movie Frozen.
