The Tiger & the Lotus Trap
What you see is a work in progress. I can’t imagine how it’s going to end up full colored but I will be working on it extensively since it’s for a friend’s project that is due to launch this September. Hope you’d watch out for it!
Blooms & Bounds (pre-painting draft)

Mashup of stocks I drew as flourishes for a contest I failed to enter. All of the sudden I was asked to participate in an exhibition next Saturday so I had to drop the project. Will update once the posters are released :)
My clientelle obligations are gradually becoming less and less stressing and I finally found time to start drawing (THANK GOD). I’m slated to do a painting commission which I’m dying to start on. Along with that, I look forward to priming canvases for my own personal use by next week. That and I finally get to write up some stylesheets for my own personal sites and domains.
This here is a work in progress for a group exhibition that I hope would push through. Getting to work with my hands after days of coding in front of a monitor would be a great relief.

More from Dimasalang (vines? tenctacles?)
The flower vendors called them Mickey Mouse.
Got to go to Dimasalang, the flower street. I was on a mission to take references for a very important project. Though blossoms are such beautiful subjects, I’ve been better taken by the other curious shapes and textures I’ve seen there.
A drawing a drew several weeks back in a trip to Baguio with the most awesome art buddies ever. I am not too happy with how this turn out but I very much want to rehash it into the painting.
I have a fondness for themes like duality, the obscured and the notion of hidden selves. Before, it was a practice of mine to draw my feminine subjects with their eyes or general expressions obscured. Lately they have begun to take on more tangible forms. Despite this development, I grow tired of drawing people (gasp!). What has inspired me for the past few are actually trees and their varying structural formations. Nature is a used concept, but the romance of it will never die- at least that’s what I think! :D
even when the skies are gray. always.
Another old sketch post to break the silence.
I have new ones but they’re still waiting for ink :(
