detail: Something’s Fishy… [2012]
Pencils
Just a teaser since the full image is going to be in an awesome possum anthology up for sale in this summer’s Komikon.

I feel slightly guilty for not arting out as much as I originally planned but I realize the break(/down) was needed to clarify why I do art in the first place. I’m more or less ok now.

I’ll be selling my comics along with something new and somewhat exclusive comic you can only get at the thing because I’m weird that way.
Hey kids let’s go! :D
And also, LOL “The Tilde Acuna”. Ikaw na tsong. Ikaw na. hahahaha

Other/wise Advice [2012]
Pencils, ink, paint
Advice my friend E gave me on my birthday. Made it to the top 2 best wishes of the year. Having a hard time complying to said advice (oops).
Also, yes, the subject looks like a gumdrop knight / clothed matryoshka doll from the future. HUZZAH. I had fun doing this, kids. 8)
Collabs + the desire to do more art
Managed to slither around work and scan this!
It’s the collab we did during James Jean Day (AKA last week, friday). It was done in various locations (Ateneo and Bonchon) and people passed the moley around.
The orange cosmic noodles are mine-
Jin did the blue flower
Denise’s is ze quirky wormy neck in green
Elie’s is the pink lady on the left
Tasha’s is the one telling you to follow your dreamz!
I added that orange bit at the bottom (felt gloomy the other day) + origami paper (so the thing didn’t look bare).
Hoo. Right now I should be catching up on pharmacology but since the night is pretty young, I’ll type type a bit. The thought’s a bit overdue but: I really, really want to do more art this year. I mean, yes, last year was brilliant given most of the writing I accomplished, but my artsy painterly side totally got neglected (testament to this is the archives section of this blog. Hello, one work per MONTH. Horrible). This is the problem with juggling a lot of things. I’m like a hydra who needs to chop off some extra heads before they end up biting each other off.
I’ve been drawing the past few days (posting some soon) and I keep goading Geo to work on our super mega overdue collab comic which should be no problem given its supposed 8 page limited glory but since we’re both med students (with an impending quiz next week!!!) who also happen to be perfectionist freaks… this is in art-limbo as of now. I tried suggesting another collab with another friend but I feel our enthusiasm levels for said project are inversely proportional so I don’t know how to deal with that right now :(
But hrrrr other people asides, I really need to start painting more again. And collabs- someone drag me into a collab that will yield rainbows and zombies and paper cranes et al! *scoots away*

I was skimming through my sketchbook the past few days and I realized I have a LOT of WIPs (like, 10+). This makes me sad T_T Thankfully, I’ve been drawing like whoa. I think listening to Florence + The Machine is also a factor.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3uptgg3Ss1qb10mlo1_500.jpg)
