You are cordially invited to Camille Ver’s solo exhibit at the prestigious Jumeirah Creekside Hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Witness as one of the Philippines’ fastest-rising abstractionists infuse the familiar forms of city and landscape with colorful and intense emotion.

I'm already aware of Mark's plans of going home for a vacation but I never really knew the specific date when he'll be back. It was just a day before his flight when he finally told me that he's coming home. And so we didn't really got to have any plans on how we'll spend his month-long vacation here in the Philippines.


Good thing there's Pinto Art Museum. :D Aside from my little talent when it comes to art, I also do have an eye and appreciation for it. I just never thought that Mark also have the same interest and appreciation for art as I did. He was actually the one who insisted that we come and visit this place. :)

Date of visit: March 18, 2014

Saw this in my drive while I was sorting out some files. I made this illustrations years back for a friend's wedding invitation. :)

Got this "Love Is..." quotes on the net and thought of making an illustration out of it. Drew it in a bond paper using pencil, outlined it with sign pen, scanned it, and then colored it in Photoshop. :)

And because today is Valentine's Day, I guess it's just very fitting for this post. :D

So, what is love?

Love is...


Love is...

I've already been awed at my cousin's artworks even before, so I immediately blocked my calendar when I got an invite for the opening reception of Identity last January 14.


Identity is an art exhibit housed in the Adamson University Art Gallery which features the works of the Oblika Art Group. I believe it's the 2nd exhibit of Oblika.

In a previous post, I already expressed how I really love drawing and sketching ever since I was a kid. And how I was able to draw in MS Paint, during my elementary years, even before stylus pens and digital drawing tablets were ever created.

Maybe most of you were thinking that I was just making up stories, but now I finally got proofs! :D Thanks to my mom, she was able to keep the hard copy of my digital masterpieces haha!

Copied and sketched this Betty Boop image from a stationery design. :) As a kid, I was fascinated by Betty's sexy body and wished to have curves like hers too haha!

Betty Boop

Also from a stationery, I got this Winnie the Pooh image. Yup I have a lot of different stationery designs. This was when I wasn't into Hello Kitties yet. :p

Winnie the Pooh

My dad always says that I have a good photographic memory. And these next ones are another proof. :p I did these without something to copy from.

This is one of my favorite cartoon characters when I was growing up. I remember wanting to finish my dinner immediately just to catch The Little Lulu Show in HBO. :p

Lulu and Amy

I also got fascinated with these cute Japanese furry balls. I always go home immediately after school just to watch Mojacko. And of course, there's no arguing who among the three I love the most. Mojari's just sooooo adorable! :D

Mojaru, Mojacko, and Mojari

Can you remember who this cartoon character is?

businessman

I'm sure you don't because I just made this one up haha! As a kid, it was how I envisioned what a businessman looked like hahaha! :p

Nice masterpieces huh?! Not bad for a 5th grader right? :p I also remember ending up sketching when I'm bored. Oh how I miss drawing! Hmmmm...maybe I should focus on my artistic side and pursue a different career?! Hahahah! :p

It may be unknown to all, but I really love drawing and sketching ever since I was a kid. I remember being able to draw in MS Paint even before stylus pens were ever created.

I also dream of becoming a world class painter. I have a few painting projects when I was a kid, which unfortunately I wasn't able to continue working on as time went by.

But nevertheless, my love for art didn't really go away. I end up doing some doodles and sketches whenever I get bored. And up to now, I always get fascinated whenever I see paintings. And this also holds true every time I see my cousin's works of art. :)

My cousin, Jestine, a Fine Arts student, really has a passion for art.

The Artist: Jestine John

Whenever he joins painting competitions, his works surely get the recognition. And most of the time, his winning pieces would always end up in the judges' hands. He's that good that his artworks are always being asked for by the judges and some teachers.

He may still be a neophyte artist, but his works are just superb! These are just a few of my cousin's creations which I soooooo LOVE! :)


This next one's my most favorite! :)


And another favorite, this one's the newest addition to Jestine's masterpieces, which now found its place on the wall in Mark's house. :)

Melting Mark :p

Good job Jestine!!! Keep it up!!!

It was a very rainy Saturday afternoon and I have no choice but to stay at home. I wanted to sleep but I just can't. I've got nothing to do so I just decided to draw. :)

I was thinking of what to draw when I saw my baby brother's Ice Age 3 stuffs and before I knew it, I was able to draw these:

Ice Age 3 - Sid

Ice Age 3 - Momma

Ice Age 3 - Diego

These are just a few of the things that I end up doing when boredom strikes.. :)
