Reverting to old Blogger layout
A quick site update: I am reverting back to the old Blogger layout. As much as I love the Dynamic templates, I’ve noticed that version that I liked (Magazine) made my posts look a lot shorter than they really were. I guess there is a way for me to fix this on my own but I’m a bit hesitant to tinker with the HTML. (Also, HTML and CSS editing makes me want to punch my keyboard when I...
Diets, cats, and Sherlock
A quick art dump before I get distracted and completely forget to post these: I’ve been playing around with Sketchbook Pro lately and I’ve come to enjoy using it as a doodling app much better than Photoshop. I like the ease and natural feel to the preset brushes and how easy it is to create line weight with the custom inking brush I made. So here’s a bunch of crap I came up...

Going Analog: Art Markers
I’ve been struggling with a really bad cough for these past two weeks (among other problems) and I haven’t had much time and energy to update this blog as much as I’d like. Something I really wanted to share, though, is how I recently fell in love with art markers. It was during the storm Pedring, when my whole neighborhood had a power outage that lasted the whole day. If I...
Doodle of the Day: Clams look like...
Here’s a sketch I made that was inspired by my recent trip to Coron. It’s based on a snorkeling trip where I saw some giant clams nested in rocks and surrounded by corals. IRL, though, I was wearing a life vest, had no flippers, and was safely swimming on the surface of the water.
I’m thinking of going back to this sketch and painting it if I have enough time in the future as...
Trip to Coron
I finally had a proper vacation recently in Coron, Palawan, which would explain the recent inactivity on this blog. Normally I’d be tempted to write a tl;dr post of the entire trip but it’s way too early in the morning and my brain isn’t functioning at optimum levels yet. So instead, here are the highlights of my trip in bullet form: Read more » http://dlvr.it/1Dmzt9
Portraits: Marilyn
I was going around my old DA account when it occurred to me that I haven’t been painting portraits in a while, so I painted this one of Marilyn Monroe for practice. This went through several incarnations before I was satisfied with my initial sketch. Like I said on a previous post, I’m not really very good with likenesses, so excuse me if it doesn’t look exactly like her. I was...
Doodle of the Day: Zuko
Here’s some fan art of Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender, for old time’s sake. I used to do draw these guys a lot, and it’s a little surprising to see one of my artworks in the first page of search results for images of Zuko. I wanted to draw a pose that was a little more dynamic, but I think I might have made some anatomical errors along the way.
I was going to try adding...
Doodle of the Day: Sushi Cat
I haven’t been posting on this blog for a while so I’m a little surprised to how my average pageviews per day has gone up since I last checked. Not that it’s much, but it’s nice to know people are still visiting the site. I’ve been busy, as usual, with work, but I thought it’s about time I started drawing for myself again. Here’s something I drew just...

Jungle Explorer 1 of 4
This is the finished piece for the sketches I posted last week. The original intent for this piece was to have a fancy white border around the illustration to make it look like the background was fading into white, but I couldn’t get the result I wanted, so I decided to just keep the full background and get rid of the white border.
My client allowed me to post this up and offer it for...
It's Magic, Charlie Brown
Here’s something a little different from my usual Doodle of the Day posts. This is the poster I made for Committee GeekFight’s September game called _It’s Magic, Charlie Brown_. I’m not really very used to designing posters for events, so this piece is kind of like “discovering new art forms” for me. To be very honest, this was done quite haphazardly, seeing as...
Doodle of the Day: Moving
This is a doodle I made for posting at my old Deviant Art account to tell my watchers about my new one. It’s been several years since I’ve last been active on DA, so I felt it was better to have a fresh start. There are only a few doodles and pieces posted in the new one, but I will, hopefully, be able to fill it up with more art and doodles soon.
I’m really getting fond of...
