...regular slice...

Most of the time, 20 minutes is a good bargain...

Hey! That's my sword...

Most violated Daddy's rules:
1) Don't fight with your brother.
2) Don't eat on the bed.
3) Don't play in front of Daddy's TV.

Don't always blame the sugar...

One time Mommy yell at Mikko, "Hey! MIK-KELLL, will you please stop running...??, Mikkel yell back at her...

Color Test #5...

Testing Elnot's new coloring pencils... a bit hard but it can color... I missed my smooth crayola when I was in grade school.

Swollen lips, broken sounds...

When we were little boys, barrio fiesta was one of the most awaited time of the year. In my hidden barrio, fiesta could mean a lot of happenings - Flores de Mayo, dance parties, drinking sessions, amateur singing contests, lots of foods, lots of relatives and friends, people from other places, perya, sarswela, and many other interesting things. Most of them enjoyed by more matured folks, but us kids, we will patiently wait for the marching band, we will then follow behind, and there playing our own newly created instrument. Real fun.

I had wished I was born with longer legs...

The bigger boys always got the faster horse, ha ha ha, we also make the sound of the footsteps. I can almost imagine the real thing..., the slowing down footsteps followed by neigh mimicking shout then the bursting snorts... ha ha ha, crazy boys.

Be careful to smash my eyeglasses...

Go on, you can smash my eyeglasses but I could still see you to smash your ass. I can still remember the pride whenever I could make a perfect fit. Through these materials we can also do rings, whips, square balls, sun-hat, and many more...

Happy 2009 to everyone...

Happy New Year!! everyone..., do you have any new year's resolution to share? I've got a few things I want to accomplish for this year, one of them is to control my kasibaan.

Inaypo 2

... it's coming back, the urge to draw and paint portraits again. But how can I buy my time?

"Inaypo 2" 2002 (charcoal pencil on sketchpad)

...up in the sky, there it goes...

Chasing for my breakaway kite, I suddenly stop wondering whether the wind can bring it back...

Milang in color...

I promised I will try to portrait Milang in watercolor, but can't get the right time yet...

"Milang 2" (ballpoint pen > bond paper) < fill color

My chopper got another model...

I love to chop the garden, those leaves including the flowers...
These are some plants I remember we used to keep in our backyard:
1) Kataka-taka (Amazing)
2) Sampagita (Sampaguita)
3) Rosal (White Flower)
4) Santan (St. Anne)
5) Bugambilya (Bougainville)
6) Ulasiman-kumpol (Mah-)
7) Liryo (Lirio cguro)
8) many many more...
I used to whack them with my choppers...

Tita Fheg...

Elnot: "Wish you all the best, see you on Decembahr..."

Miko: "What mommy? What?" [What should I say?]

I might have tried to shoot down the moon...

Yeah, if given enough stones...

Imagine a stone bigger than your head catapulted into your face, you'll get surprised?! No need to imagine that, the poor bird won't have any chance to get surprised, mostly, body parts with involuntary muscles will just anyhow move on their own way, then full stop.

I didn't really use my slingshot to hit birds, but mostly to shoot down fruits, sinigwelas, kamatsili, caimito, guavas, santol, and many more. Then one day I shot my cousin on his neck, and that has ended my playing with it. Mother sequestered it then threw it on the rooftop and refused to buy another one for me.... it's actually quite a long story... :-)


"Tirador" (gel pen + color pencil > sketchbook)

The thought of flying always fascinates me....

Chopper... keep your legs out of the way. I've created more than once for myself... learned to create this toy from the bigger boys, and yes, I earned a lot of cuts on my hands. To create one, I needed two empty cans of Alaska Evap, water pail metal handle, copper wire, and a straight branch of coffee tree.

Less one green minded fellow...

"Sana'y maka-ipon ka pa ng maraming kalokohan at nang marami kang ma-i-share sa 'min sa muli nating pagkikita..."

He is Grissom a.k.a. Chris, our best ever IT security guy... he's a certified brutal green joker... he is leaving for a colder land...
All the best parekuy.

"Grissom" (fountain pen+color pecils > art paper)

Last time, I'm collecting FHM mags...

This was copied from a sexy magazine... please forgive the color.

"Sexy" (ballpen, watercolor > letter pad paper)

I also like manga, no, not hentai...

I think, I copied it from Condor Hero comics...

(watercolor, comics ink, pencil > letter pad paper)

My wife likes Winnie the Pooh and it's affecting me...

I get noticed because of my getting-bigger tummy, and now I'm trapped in between, Am I going to the gym or I'll just eat more. Both ways I'll get noticed, yeah which one, small-sized shirt or oversized jersey?? Either one is cool men.... ha ha ha.

"Color Test #4" (watercolor > printed downloaded disney page > bond paper)

Lettering...

Long time ago I like doing lettering with different font styles. I think it's the influence of tagalog comics that I always rent from a local junction store, they always have nice lettering of the story titles. This one was inserted inside my sketchbook and survived for you to see.
