—-Contest Closed—- Blog Giveaway winners have been announced here. Thank you so so much to everyone who joined. 🙂 ‘Til the next one! 🙂 —— Hi Guys! I’m really happy I’m back on my blogging console more regularly now! I’m also laughing at how I thought this was going to be a chill week when I’m […]
Just finished submitting a good chunk of pending work and September is the month where I can just chill & breathe. By that, I mean, I won’t be spending my nights working until 3am. :O I will still be busy every day and every weekend but I’m really happy that I can blog again!
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
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
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.
I promised myself that as soon as the adult coloring book Around the World with the Googly Gooeys hits bookstores, I’ll be doing a blog post about its lighter side–it being a silly & a talkative 60-page activity-filled title just like its owners. 😀 Around the World with the Googly Gooeys has been released last
How are you guys?? It seems like a week ago, we were just in Cebu for less than 24 hours for a workshop and now another week is about to end again! Wahhh. Also, if you caught us on Facebook live, the photos here were shot last May and it’s as if I slept, woke
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
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.
See you soon Cebu! We’re holding our first workshop with Rustan’s Fresh Card Holders on July 2. You may join us by: (1) paying only Php 299 for existing Rustan’s Fresh Card Holders. A slot is good for two workshop participants. 🙂 (2) becoming a Rustan’s Fresh Card Holder by accumulating Php 5,000.00 grocery receipts
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
I can’t believe that when I finally decided to work at home as a new mom, I became busier than usual. :O Last week was mostly spent taking photos and holding workshops. I’ll be sharing more photos soon. 🙂 Then again, I’m not really complaining. Maybe it helps that: (a) there’s a baby in the
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
I’m so happy that ever since Riley came, we now have more family pictures. The thing is, the hubby and I love taking photos so much that we often forget to have our photos taken. The hubby & I painted this 8 x 9 ft heart 7 weeks after I gave birht. Our little siopao
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
