Yes, I'm with the generation who just turned quarter of a century. I met him as an illustrator when I was working with Xlibris Philippines as an Illustrations Coordinator. He's one of the few honest people I've met in there, so I just had to keep him as a friend. Anyway, I made him this, an image that carries two things he likes; a petite girl and a leather collar. Yes, don't worry, he's not a creep. He's far from that. He's also a very skilled artist, working with BullWitt Media for a TV series and other miscellaneous projects, so check out his work: <a href="http://theartofeumircarlofernandez.blogspot.com/">http://theartofeumircarlofernandez.blogspot.com/</a><br />

I've been trying to find beautiful faces to inspire me to draw, as usual. Just like my old days in Myspace, trying to find a beautiful face from perfection groups. <i>Jacqueline</i> is the only one who remains to inspire me even today. I've been through old films and random deviants in DA. So far I find very few that truly inspire me. These sketches are not very well done but I'm still putting it here. These are <span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span> portraits. These are images made from how I perceive these beautiful people. It's not very good yet.</div>

I never truly learned how to properly use watercolors but I've been using them since I can remember--smearing them all over the paper in thick undiluted pigments probably egotistically thinking I'm Van Gogh or Michaelangelo. I probably had the false notion of thinking that they're the same tubes used for oil painting. I was too young to know what they are exactly.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">I wasted too many tubes when I would draw and my mother would frustratingly just tell me how much mess I was making. As a child--I could not understand what "mess" was. All I knew what that, I was being as artistic as those artists I saw in our encyclopedia. Years past, eleven years really, till I learned to color how much pigment I have to use. My love for thick pigment can still be seen with these.</span></div>

Yes, those are the paintings of my younger years. I was around sixteen when I made those. I also learned to be impatient and invented to use my mother's hairdryer while I paint. I wasn't able to be patient enough to attend to detail so I simply use a really thick calligraphy brush to do everything. You can see how many thick strokes are in it. Also, I wasn't content of using only watercolor paint. I used acrylic, poster and even color pencils till my work became this big mash of mixed media. Some people loved it, I surely enjoyed mixing things up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<a href="http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs27/f/2008/087/0/d/__Higure_Shiro_2006___by_isnukwin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs27/f/2008/087/0/d/__Higure_Shiro_2006___by_isnukwin.jpg" width="126" /></a>Another year, and I learned more "techniques" now that I became friends with more artists. Also, my use of watercolor improved...a bit. I no longer use too much thick pigment but my fascination for color pencils enhanced as well. So there I was--proudly thinking I was a magician of mixed media on paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That year, I became obsessed with colors and deconstructing clothes to its most impossible shapes. I also emphasized more interest in ink so a lot of my watercolor works were inked. The pigments have become more transparent and I learned not use much of my mother's hairdryer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Copic markers were too expensive and scarce to find anywhere, so I learned to find a way to mimic the marker effect using watercolor thinking that they both came from the same concept of idea or "transparent coloring". In any case, I further did my best to study works with watercolor effect. It was also the year of my Kubo Tite obsessions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Then, one summer night--after pondering how far I could take that mixed media obsession of mine, I decided to be more patient, less egotistical and less experimental with my watercolor style. It took me two hours--no hairdryers and just a good use of my sister's scratch watercolor paper to create the painting I used to call "My Self-Portrait"--in a metaphorical sense, I guess.<br />

This is my favorite watercolor work. I attempted to make another watercolor color of this kind but I failed every time. Most of my watercolor works either look too stiff or too scattered now. </div>

In any case, my lack of expertise with this medium did not stop me to get myself published for the first time in 2007 when I made the cover for <span style="text-align: center;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Dr. Cho Han Kyu’s Manual on

Even though this technically was made with ink and watercolor on paper, as you can see, my use of pigment has improved. Even though I was unable to recreate the same style and technique I used for the "Metaphorical Self-Portrait", I was able to hone my watercolor skill through observing other self-taught watercolor artists. Hence, I have a very personal touch in my watercolor style. I do not claim that I am ever good at it. I still even do not know how to use watercolor properly. I simply enjoy using it as a medium.</div>
<br />
Here are some of my more recent or rather decent watercolor paintings. I apologize for the pixelated quality. I'm still looking for a way to have a better scan of them since most of my watercolor works have been given away.<br />

I've had experience in making logos before not of this type. The concept was to make it look sophisticated and young but should embody a brush of Filipino culture since it was for a Filipino restaurant. These were the first attempts--very cafe-like and they don't really embody the Filipino culture of a fun and happy eating. I was trying to put in the image concepts of a ladle, a candle, a plate and a fish. But they didn't work very well. One even resembles an already existing restaurant's logo. So I had to scratch out the idea. </span><br />

With my next attempt, I was suggested to use a brush to make it a little bit more informal and fun. This time, I let myself go and wrote the restaurant's name in my most spontaneous handwriting. I used two types of brush techniques; dry and wet. For the last image, I used an old fountain pen. They came out pretty good. I submitted this and later I discovered one was chosen but I didn't know which one.</div>

Fast forward to February 2013, I suddenly discovered that the restaurant was placed so near my office. Upon seeing the giant logo--I can't believe how beautiful it looks as a seven feet tall sculpture. Well, it's made of acrylic glass but still, seeing one's work being officially published like that can make anyone feel overwhelmed. I could almost say--I now know how a mother feels. And with this, I feel a happy sense of achievement.</div>

<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">Cheng Tju, one of the editors for Liquid City Volume Three I'm working with, asked me to show him sample comics. So I made this simple wordless comic. I had a meeting with his </span><i style="font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">mangaka</i><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;"> colleagues via Skype while he was in the Philippines for a talk he guested in Ateneo de Manila. A half hour interview with was made for his research on Southeast Asian Women Comic Artists which included the discussion on my comic style and concepts.</span></h5>
<h5 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper" data-ft="{"type":1,"tn":"K"}" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal; text-align: justify;">The idea for this wordless comic came from my personal beliefs as a child. I used to believe that every dark corner, empty room, hidden nook and some water puddles (the rarely seen ones) is a doorway to another world. We can be there anytime we want--unfortunately, we always miss the opportunity because we have been wired to ignore them.</span></h5>

<b><br />
</b> <b>“Fables for Japan”</b> is an anthology book of fiction, poems, sequential stories (comic books), and artwork. These are original works centered around the theme of Japanese folklore, fables, and myths. The book is available in [<a href="http://www.fables4japan.com/">link</a>] and all proceeds go the victims of the March 11th earthquake.</div>

I've been working with <a href="http://jason-minor.deviantart.com/">*jason-minor</a> aka Temujin on the second book for Fables for Japan. He's been very generous to extend deadlines for me. The artwork above is an illustration to one of the stories. The book cover was made by David Lloyd. The other illustrations I made for this book are below. And here's the download link for the books.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.fables4japan.com/p/store.html"><b>DOWNLOAD THE BOOKS HERE.</b></a><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
GET THE BOOK NOW! If you want to contribute even a little to the crisis the earthquake caused to Japan, I'd suggest this is your chance. And...If you're a sucker for artbooks and graphic novels made by some of the comic industry's most prolific artists, THIS IS YOUR BOOK.<br />
