Reunited With My Pencils (After more than a Month)

Wooh! Can’t believe it’s been more than a month since my last post. My apologies for not making any update. I’ve been very busy for the past weeks (new working place, new workmates, new lifestyle, new adjustments and many more changes).

Good thing I am back! Well despite of the busy schedule, the past month was still filled with new ideas and imaginative experiments in my art. I’ve done a bunch of new sketches and I will never let this post to be done by not sharing them to all of you.

Here’s a round-up of what happened to my sketching world for the time I’m away from this blog. (All artworks were done on the new sketchbook - in ink and colored pencil.)

“INTERNET & SOCIAL MEDIA TRANSFORMATION” | A Megatron (Transformers) inspired conceptual art of the how social media over the Internet have transformed over the years.

“THE BUTCHER & HIS SIDEKICK” | Fresh meat, anyone? The butcher is in town!

“CAPTIVE” | Another fantasy artwork interpreting the epic story on how the princess was captured by the evil dragon.

“MY CURSED HAND” | My ultimate weapon of mass destruction. Somebody asked me if they could use this as the back cover of the latest issue of the publication from my college alma mater. I hope it will be realized. *fingers’ X*

“MUSIC REGENERATION” | Reminds me with my favorite music playlist back home when I moved in to my new workplace.

“GRAVEYARD SHIFT” | Halloween is still very far but zombies are all over Manila throughout the year.

“HOW TO DIE” |  Life is short so don’t make it shorter.

“SOUL HUNT” | The mighty swordsman retires and all his hunted souls were set free.

“ARMS” | The wings of heaven meet the hands of hell.

Woah! Can’t believe I’ve been creating so many weird sketches for the past days. Thant’s all for now folks.

By the way I’m experimenting my craft in a new medium: watercolor. So far so good and I’m satisfied with the results. I’ll keep you posted as soon as possible. :)

The Google Plus Experience | Everyday Fine Art Themes

It is really undeniable that social media today is one of the most powerful tool not just to communicate but also to find new acquaintances across the globe with the same interests and passion.

It’s been almost four months since I started using Google Plus, the social networking site that some say will soon kill Facebook. One thing I like about G+ is the fact that I could get in touch with so many people worldwide that share the same interests with me. Some of them are even well-known and professionals in their fields.

I really enjoy meeting a lot of artists in G+. Some are photographers, painters, comic artists, illustrators and even web designers. One good trend I love about is the presence of different everyday themes sponsored by different artists. Here are some few themes I really like (Thanks to Daily Fine Art Themes for this list):
