Silkscreen attempt

Ok, so I didn't create the silk screen itself. I had someone else do it. But it really was a learning experience, trying to manage the process, how to unclog the screen, choosing the colors and what material to print on. In the end, the ugly prints were used at home. Realized the white pillow cases were a bit thin but they look really pretty!

More thoughts and drawings.

So maybe not everyday. I skipped a few days of sketching for myself to draw for other people and for school but then I have no need for excuses. I draw for pleasure and enjoyment. Hoping that I get to capture some skill I used before. So here are a few.

What does your child say about their teachers?

Wanting to put a few testimonials for the school website, I decided to add a little music and pictures. With a few chosen shots, a debate on the music to play and several revisions until it was satisfactory, this is what I came up with. My first video slideshow in a while. : )

Nothing beats a hand-written card.

I'm testing designs for note cards for future sale. I like the black and white feel of note cards, they're self-sealing too, having a little tab at the back. They still need work though, the "Thank you" cards look a little bare.

All illustrations are hand-drawn on my tablet. : )

Oh, if have any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear it.

Yey! Got an email the other day. People have read my book, my simple book. Hahahaha! I'm so happy! http://www.myebook.com/index.php?option=ebook&id=4624

Sepia me.

I don't really consider myself vain. But this photo is a rare shot of myself which I actually like. Thanks again to Lyra and Yasmin for taking this picture. : )

At the exhibit," In The Ocean Without A Boat Or A Paddle (Surrounded by Water) " at the Blanc Art Space. (http://blancartspace.multiply.com/) Showing support to my friend, Lyra Abueg Garcellano. Awesome paintings she made and I'm really happy for her! Mom, Gabbie and our friends came too and it was a blast! (Some pictures courtesy of Blanc) P.S. As of today, I heard her paintings got sold! Congratulations!!

I want to design a T-shirt

So I gave it a shot. I designed this for Inkfruit.com and will see how it goes. Inkfruit is a community of designers who publish t-shirt designs, people vote for it, and the highest number of votes of a certain design from people gets to have their shirt printed! Wheee! I don't think a lot of people will get this though. *smile*

Fabulous!! I want one!

Stick, bloody and jelly-like bookmarks for the bookworm in all of us! A great laptop jacket that comes with the same great design for cameras and photos! Look at these great things for sale at www.designboom.com! I saw them first at one of my fave sites www.toxel.com...check them out. And if you wanna show me some loooove...*eherm*.
