Everyone has a story.

What makes an artist, an artist long after they've put down their tubes of paint, pastels, charcoal and clay? People have asked me what do I do? I tell them I am an artist. My medium has changed throughout the years. I've picked up the mouse and wacom pen after I've discarded my charcoal pencils. Using the computer I've created 3D animation, ads, audio-visual presentations, graphic novels, print ads, marketing collaterals and websites. For a time, my mind got tired of the technology and my hands turned to wireworks. I created wire-wrapped jewelry for a year to soothe the stress brought by keeping up with the times. Now I turn to another medium. Words. The human mind is my paint and this blog is my canvas. I shall take it to where I need to go...where I need to be, then I shall move on.

A Variation of the Seafood Chowder This is the first time I’ve done this. I had a lot of seafood stocked up in my freezer and I needed to free some space. Since I didn’t have the time to buy veggies to cook some chop suey (not to mention how tedious prep can be), I decided to make it easier on... https://ift.tt/2m8Q8ZJ Food Trip, chowder, mussels, scallops, seafood, shrimps, soup

Don’t you love it when friends can put sense in the craziness of this world? Thank you again .@gangmanila for this idea. This week’s cartoon for .@manilaspeak.

@gangmanila thank you for this topic.

Yes, Nicanor Faeldon, Director-General of the Bureau of Corrections has been relieved of his duties for now following the orders of the President (technically he did, he didn’t release former Calauan Mayor Antonio Sanchez, but that’s another issue). The next day he had a bright smile for the cameras and tells them he’s also relieved, emotionally, mentally, and yes, literally. This will be my next post for @manilaspeak . #Illustration #caricature #cartoon #drawing #art #comics #politics #procreatedrawing

They all ‘need’ to use the loo.

It is a beautifully pastel pink morning. Is it Friday yet?

I love cemeteries. Perhaps it is the stillness, the silence, or the feeling that time has stopped at least for those who have been buried there.

Albie is keeping the kittens warm on a chilly evening.

This kitten loves to climb trees. Perhaps I should call him monkey.

Simple lunch.

Feels like it didn’t rain for a week. Perfect weather to do the laundry and for some ice cream.

These donuts by Len Beltran are vegan and gluten free but not taste free. Not so sweet and truly delicious. #muicca

I love this work-from-home weather. Piping hot bowl of sinigang for dinner.

I have never tasted Marang before. It is one of the sweetest tasting fruits - a cross between an atis (sugar apple) and a langka (jackfruit).
