Also feel free to view the online folio.
RATED NSFW FOR OBSCENE INACCURACY.
Drawn for a challenge. I don’t draw men at all since my hand is accustomed to doing gestures instead of shape figures or angles. This makes me want to facepalm but I learned a lot from this. Have to draw more.
The Click Initiative
After typhoon Ondoy ravaged the Philippines, we helped by preparing and donating food to the affected people. The people needed more help so we thought why not come up with a campaign empowering all the web users, since a lot of webusers were helping tweet and retweet call for aid and volunteers. Then my former partner in the Ad Agency Jao sent me a copy for a video idea… Then i asked helped from the usual suspects: Val, Team and Leandro and then we developed the site in a few days. :)What is it?
The Click Initiative
is a viral campaign
that gives an opportunity for the web user
to take part in a fund-raising effort
for the relief and rehabilitation of typhoon Ondoy victims
by way of influencing the future leaders of the Philippines
to donate a portion of their campaign money.
By simply viewing and spreading this video, we are hoping that our Presidential Candidates will soon take notice and immediately accept the online community’s petition.
I’m still hoping this isn’t the last photo we’d take on that staircase. But photos on your new ones will be just fine.
To spam my tumblr with my POUPEE ENTRIES will be a disaster and I hope that I won’t get carried away (must draw more instead). I admit it. I enjoy taking photos of trinkets and things!! It’s in my blood to be so giddy over shinies and pretties.

JULIA ESCANO, my constant muse is finally on tumblr. And I am absolutely SPAZZING and am SMITTEN. ♥ HEY JUUUULES~ I LOVE YOU!
I realized last week that in order to create the change I want to make, I need an incredible amount of power, influence, or money. And it scares me that I have suddenly found that need or rather I was forced into a circumstance that compels me to need.
I no longer have the privilege of waiting. I have to start reaching.
Oh wow! Suddenly there’s a huge surge of activity and I can’t thank everyone enough! All over 100 of you! I LOVE YOU!
I don’t have any new artwork right now because I’ve been bogged down with work, but I leave you guys with one of my fave photos as thanks. ♥ Till next time
Last weekend, an 18-year-old construction worker braved rampaging floods in the Philippines to save more than 30 people, but ended up sacrificing his life in a last trip to rescue a baby girl and her mother who were being swept away on a styrofoam box. Muelmar Magallanes GMH.
I cried when I wrote this in. I’m crying right now that it actually came out. May Muelmar rest in peace. I saw his mother on TV, and it was heartbreaking to see her mourn for her son, saying softly that honor meant nothing- she just wants her son back. The people he helped called him an angel. The Philippines will forever call him a hero.
I am truly amazed at people who can squeeze in painting or drawing sessions amidst drowning in 100% left-brain-work. I give myself excuses, “I’ve no time to paint because I’m busy with school work” though in a regular day, it’s either I’m working on something school-related or I’m wasting time doing useless things (ie. internet loitering). Despite having vacant hours, I still refuse to paint. I’m not sure if anyone else feels this way but I might have been incognizantly treating drawing or painting as a ritual (or maybe that’s what I call it to make this sound cool BUT!). I never produce works during a running semester and I wait until a non-art-related project completely ran its course, until I can sit down, breathe and pick up a brush. I feel that drawing, painting—or even doodling consumes so much energy. I never work when I’m sad or depressed because I know it will demand much more, much more gut, emotional toil, right-brainage and balls from me. I’ve almost nothing left. I am scared of it. And if you know what I feel, I am happy for you—constant painter, constant drawer—that you are bracing it.
You are such a beautiful spirit Val. That will never change and that will never leave you.
OH GOD. OH GOD. OH GOD. I MADE A POUPEE ACCOUNT. My inner fashion whore is coming out. If I were a skinny little thing instead of a voluptuous vase I’d be buying stuff left and right but instead I’m going to take it out on the internet.
I’ve loved Art Nouveau and Alphonse Mucha for almost a decade now. Finding this locket in the Rockwell Bazaar was instant GOLD.
