Kareene Zerefos is a London-based Australian artist. She describes her work as “whimsical illustrative work with a sense of isolation and bittersweet nostalgia” that is caused by “a yearning to escape to a world of make believe”. What I love most about her style is the unfinished look that her works have. The characters she paints look more alive to me that way. Her series of children’s portraits entitled From the Menagerie is my favorite from her. According to the artist, the series is about “exploring the connection between child and animal, and some- what the escapist desire to ‘run away and join the circus’”.

Blair, Miette and I attended ManikaManila’s Summer meet last Saturday. It was held in Constantine Place in BF Resort Village, Las Piñas. We had the place reserved, so we had the entire location by ourselves. It was nice to be in a meet in a more private setting. Even if there weren’t as many attendees compared to previous meets, it was just as fun. :) I took lots of photos again, so I hope you enjoy the spam!

Dolly Diptych Week 15: Discovery

This is probably my second or third-to-the-last batch of photos from my trip to Subic last March. This time, I chose photos with angles that I wouldn’t normally choose for diptychs. I kinda like it.

See more photos in the blog post!

Cakes & Death - A Photostory by 1magichour

Death Note and BJDs are two of my favorite things. When I saw this ridiculously cute photo set at 1magichour’s livejournal featuring a chibi-fied version of my favorite character, L, I fell in love! It’s a pretty popular set in the hobby already, but I just had to share it in my blog anyway. :D

See the rest of the photo set on my blog

It’s another busy workweek in the office, so unfortunately, I don’t think I can come up with original content. It’s meme time again! Feel free to answer it yourself. Tell your friends! :)

There’s been a bag meme going around for a long time, but I haven’t been bothered to do one until I saw my friends Nix, Trisha and Lala do it. So being the occasional sheep that I am, I thought why the heck not? XD

Dolly Diptych Week 13: From a Distance

These are some of my most favorite shots of Blair from my Subic trip last month. The lighting was perfect that day. I didn’t even have to edit these photos at all! I hope you like them as much as I do. ♥

I love how mysterious and hauntingly beautiful these portraits by Jon Duenas are. It makes you wonder who these women are and what they’re thinking of. There’s not a lot of expression in their silhouettes, but the placement of the landscape elements on their bodies and faces is more than enough to the viewer a sense of what they’re feeling.

Surprise! Miette has arrived! Betcha very few she was coming. Miette means “sweet little thing” in French (or at least that’s what Google says), and I think the name’s perfect for her. I plan on turning her into a decora/fruits/fairy kei baby. She’ll be spoiled with all things cute and sweet. Teehe~! :3

Theme Thursday: Galaxies & Nebulae

I’ve been obsessed with all things outer space ever since I laid my hands on my very first astronomy book (which was around 6 years old, I think?). It’s so fascinating; it makes you asks all sorts of questions. The photos of the universe telescopes provide are so beautiful and awe-inspiring, too, especially photos of galaxies and nebulae. I can’t help but stare at them. * u * Here are some of my favorite photos captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. I decided not to make a mosaic this time, since these photos are much better viewed in their full glory.
