So it’s the end of the month, and it’s time to reflect a bit. In other words, reflecting on manga that we read this month and revealing that it was amazing. Let’s just say Justin continues to find absolutely weird manga on his reading list though and call it a day. Basara Justin: Despite all ... Read more

I had a lot of deadlines lately, so I haven't been able to show many sketches of late. I'm also busy writing, which doesn't make for pretty pictures either. Sorry :) Here's my little dog friend as a consolation prize.
To recover my mojo, I signed up for an online painting class by Mati Rose McDonough. It's been so fun and the perfect excuse to just play. Here's one of the paintings I've been working on this week.
Small detail of a work in progress. |
And here's some pics from my garden. Happy summer!

A rare day-off for Lincoln's Birthday, the big kids all gone to friends' houses, and a little sunshine on the front patio means that my littlest can have fun playing out front while mom updates things on the laptop.
Spring flowers have already arrived. |
Anyway, didn't I say I might just tweak the painting a little? Well, that wasn't exactly true. When it came down to it, I think I tweaked it a lot. Of course, it may not look different but, with a little close observation, one might notice differences. Frankly, I became frustrated with the 2 flowers on the right - they became rather muddled by overworking with to many colors - I even completely painted out the bottom one and started over.
I think it's done - but I'm still not happy with the leaf - I'll just tweak it a little... |
Light was an interesting challenge as I had a changing light source (a south-facing window) to my left which caused moving shadows and a secondary interior light overhead/right which created shadows of its own. I realized that I was giving conflicting information with cast shadows of the flower petals on both sides of the vase/creamer, but I liked the shapes and decided to keep them. And that's what was truly liberating about this project compared with the first one which was much more dependent on observation. For this one, I gave myself permission to use more artistic license and mostly responded to what was happening on the paper. Besides liking the shapes of some of the shadows, I also liked the orange from the flowers reflected on the porcelain surface - it wasn't nearly as pronounced in real life, but I liked it in the painting.
I still have dreams of one do doing a "quick" little still life that captures its essence with a minimum of strokes... (sigh)

Another exercise from my excellent e-course, The Art & Business of Surface Pattern Design, that I struggled to complete. The class is really challenging me which I consider absolutely brilliant even if I don't live up to my own expectations. But I'm certainly learning tons.
Remember my Playful Geometrics Giftwrap Collection from a couple of posts ago? Well, not only have I created a mockup presentation for it, but added gift tags and a square greeting card. Of course, this is when my printer decided to play up and print out the most dreadful smudges ... I finally found a way to work around that ... but I now have to learn more about gift-wrapping as, honestly, I've just hidden all the dreadful mistakes I've made! I'm not going to go anywhere near mentioning my lack of photographic skills. All now on my lengthy to do list.
Anyway, here are the results:
Here's the mockup page for the Gift Tags:
And here's the one for the Greeting Card:
Phew. I'm exhausted! Taking a tea break before getting back to work on my next piece. Cheers!

Last year I illustrated a picture book titled, A Caring Deed For Becky for Featherweight Press. It was written by Susan Wigden.
I've spelled her name "Widgen" incorrectly at least a thousand times, but that's neither here nor there.
In any case, Susan is currently making the rounds with the book and I thought I'd post a video of a school reading she did earlier this year.
Want a copy? Of course you do.

As always, Thanksgiving, was a time for being grateful for all the wonderful blessings that’ve been presented to us this year and all the years before…to get together with family and friends…followed by a slight feeling of regret that I may have ate a little too much. But nonetheless it was a great weekend. Our turkey?
Rave reviews about our very first turkey! So awesome. Thank goodness for the internet and showing us the perfect way to brine this massive bird. It was deeeelicious, we’ll definitely be sticking with this recipe for the future. Even my niece Chloe grabbed a second helping and her mom said she didn’t like turkey. As of yesterday, we are officially out of leftovers. YAY!
Hope everyone had a great start to the holidays as well!

"Aster" - Flower of September |
First thing's first...
The new Flower of the Month fairy for September is finished! It's been finished for a few weeks (sorry for my delay in posting). I have started November, she should be out by the end of September, if not the first week of October.
My Mama |
She's a constant source of inspiration for me in the women I wish to show having courage and maturity. Plus, she has long gorgeous black hair. That inspires me EVERY time. :)

A Painting for Halloween
I don't normally paint for Halloween. It's been years since I even had the desire to. Now...that's not saying I don't like Halloween, but my work tends to be something that could be used year round. I like that. But I do so love a good mask, so I thought I'd paint one. :)
Here's the work in progress. She's pretty small; a 4x6 painting. Something quick but elegant. I have always wanted to throw a Masquerade Ball, hopefully someday I will. But until then, I must live through my paintings.
I hope to have her finished by the end of the week. If not, I'll go crazy! Not quite sure what to call her yet...
Have you ever been to a Masquerade Ball? If so, was it as much fun as they look? I want to know!

A de-lish treat for any occasion!
Even after a hefty meaty meal such as the ones a large Filipino family gathering are known for, there’s always room for flan. I don’t know about any other Filipino household but in my family it’s not party without Tita’s (insert auntie’s nickname here)‘s Flan. And people almost always seem to be surprised when the plate of Leche Flan comes out as the echos of “OoHs” and “WaaaoooWs “hover around this little plate of goodness as if no one was expecting Tita (insert auntie’s nickname here) to come over with this dish…even if she’d been bringing Leche Flan over for like umpteenth plus years now.
Here’s a quick little illustrated instruction on how Leche Flan is generally made. I’ve personally never made Leche Flan before. And to avoid any aunties assuming I’m trying to grand stand their signature dish…I don’t think I’ll ever be attempting to make one anytime soon either. But if you have a go at it let me know!
HAPPY MONDAY!
