Sir Mandy originally wanted Gerry to teach his kids how to draw. But he's too busy so he volunteered me instead :)

Finally, Dad's friends from HK (the one I toured San Pablo with last January 24-25) sent us our pics!

Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable fan art by my art sensei Ryan Orosco! Mikko loves this show!

Sound Booth



I'm supposed to build something like this. So far I guessed at some of the materials. Right now I'm at a point where I'm figuring out how to put the walls together to make it sound-sealed but at the same time easily disassembled :) My thanks to all those who texted back and tried to help me with my questions! ;D

nyehehehe! Wala lang. I saw this pic in the Filipino Freelancers website. Na-cute-an ako.

SO THERE! ;9

as for that anito fan art, i still have to draw the background and the villains surrounding them, rebels perhaps, but I think I'll enjoy drawing maranhigs more ;) And I'm still waiting for some friends in Anino Entertainment to send me their Tinio design because I still want to draw Tinio putting tattoos on Maya (ooooh!;). I hope it isn't too much trouble for them.

Woohoo! I got to visit Digitraxx! A most impressive sound recording booth located in Makati. Its owner Rico is very helpful, and offered to get the contractor's number for me so I could contact him and learn more about how to make and use diffusers and such.


And this time, I did NOT forget to buy Trakk #2. So wala na akong atraso kay Mico hehehe! Now, to stalk him until he autographs my copy! ;D I also bought the latest issue of Culture Crash, where I'm happy to find my name and indie mentioned along with Ariel Atienza as caricature artists of last sci fi con :)

As for Gabriela history, I guess I'll have to research on good ol' Google :p

Working on a strip called Riot Grrlz, layouting and coloring stage of Strip 4, panel 1, to be exact. The reason I got online now is to learn how to make wood grain in photoshop hehe! I hope to finish all 6 strips soon :) at least I got the revised scripts approved :)

I also have to work on 6 strips of Sandbox, same format as Riot Grrlz.

Dad finished building my light table! Wow! He's really fast :) I'm lucky to have a cool dad who loves woodworking. I'm hoping to have it placed in the third floor of our house, where I decided to have my workstation, because the PC is close to our bedroom(so we can Net for free on the off hours ;).

from Gary Mayoralgo's blog:


You are a silver dragon. The rarest kind of dragon.
YOu are noble yet avoid humans as much as
possible. You are the guardian of the
defensless and you rule the skies.


Which Dragon resides in your soul? (cool pictures!)

ooh! pareho kami ni padmeann! :D

wheeeeeee!

Still waiting to get plans. Still need to find a sound recording facility that uses foam as noise absorbers.

Ack! I forgot to buy Trakk 2! Mico! Sowy! Penge na lang compli copy hahahah! jk ;)

I dropped off 10 copies of "Jac Strips For YOU!!!" in Comic quest Megamall! Go buy 'em! ;D
5 copies colored (P50 each), 5 copies black and white (P30 each) :)

No reply from Claire :( will have to find Gabriela History somewhere else.

Wall climbed in Tandang Sora! I hope to bring wanwan there next week! Hope room is free that night so she can sleep in my dorm. Couldn't find Sound Creations tho :( not enough directions. Might get lost :p

i'm rushing to finish a fanart of Agila and Maya! Ack! Hope I finish them on time! So far I've finished Agila, but I wanted to draw Maya as Cathy cosplayed her :)

I also need office plans to build a small voice recording booth in it ;)

I also need to remember to buy Trakk 2, preferably with a Philip Tan cover, because it's drawn by Mico Suayan! Wheeeeeeee! Congrats pare! Habol na lang ako nyeheheh! And also drop off my indies for consignment, because people wanted to buy again. Wheee!

I also hope to meet up with Jawbreaker girl Claire Villacorta to get some Gabriela history/materials for a pin-up I'll be doing for Siglo 2 :)

Then in Tandang Sora I hope to wall climb again and also check out a sound booth that uses foam instead of gypsum board, called Sound Creations, owned by a Japanese guy named Shinji. I hope I can find it :p

wheeeeeeeee! beho and I are going to UPLB today because I'm researching about soundbooths. Afreelance gig involved building a small one to record voices without the noises, and he said the one in the devcom building (DZLB station) is the best :)

Found this from Camy's blog ;)
