A Basketball star wants to stop the resumption of games for society to focus on the important and relevant social issues.

"Gladiators" (2020) - Hand drawn digital illustration in celebration of Amanda Nuñez win, I put her alongside the champions of UFC that I like. I just forgot to put Silva and Chris Weidman though haha

Products of racism and unfounded character profiling.

Her musicality has evolved since then but with all her advancement not just in the music scene --or against it--(as she says so in her interviews) but also in her views and sentiments regarding society's issue as a very influential person at her young age is something to be admired and listened to.

Endangerment of the lives of wild animals has always been a global problem and the virus may have been nature's answer to our indifference.

Kinaadman (2020)
- literally translates to “Wisdom” in Filipino.
- It’s been last 2013 since I’ve done any more illustrations like this and it definitely has been a while. I’d like to think I’ve earned enough knowledge or wisdom from all the things that has happened– or has not happened in my life and even though it has had its ups and downs, I’m still appreciative of everything and still believe in the future of what is to come. Thanks for bearing with me.
Hope you’d like to see more?

giclee prints are available.

- This artwork is inspired by the Haiyan / Yolanda Typhoon in Ph, this is my message for the corrupt and those who refuse to help. Special hello to Janet and her friends.  

- A modernized approach to the Pied Piper fable. Citing influences from Japan's Suicide Club movie in which a rock band's music causes teenagers to commit suicide. My take isn't as dark as Suicide Club but the youthful frenzy and magical air of the flutist are still strong concepts presented.

Hi Tumblr I'm back, thanks to my Art Jam friends for pushing me to create illustrations again :) So..Tadaima? :)

- When people that are important to us have left the world physically, there is a certain part of them that remains with us in our hearts. They become immortal through our memories. Happy All Soul's Day! :)

- another project for the Magazine, this time for an article by Mr. Anthony Oposa Jr.

The cool people of Blu Print tapped me to create a spread illustrating the article on architectural living, working and playing in the extreme by Stephen Pimbley of Spark, an international design studio. Blu Print is always such a must read for those interested with architectural design and developments. The issue is out so buy your copies now! 

- On my travels abroad, I have learned the benefits of being respectful but straight forward. 

-If life is only meant to satisfy our earthly desires then this life is a meaningless pursuit but if we look at it from a heavenly perspective then we see things clearer.

First I made this thinking about the YOLO concept and the frailty of life and how we should make more of how little time we have, but I found out that's not how life should go. Because 'this' life is not 'it' yet.

- Fight back and learn to defend your self. Be strong and protect the ones you love. That is the way a man shows his affections and values in life.
