okay so ive mentioned on my last post that i havent put much effort into trying to draw something or perhaps take time to do something because i wanted to… mostly it’s because i sort of needed to and wanted to at the same time. i think the last time i actually drew something was way back in college. I was going thru my stuff in the philippines and i came across a black tube that had tons of paper in it. opened it one by one, most of the stuff had drawings of planes and alot of them were about perspective. then i came across a colorful image. had a grade of A on it… OMG i cant believe that i had that in me. i don’t even remember drawing something like that. it was an exercise for our visualization class… ill share it later on. i need to get a frame for it. hihihi… an art piece found.

i work with a really talented pool of people… im the only one who isnt a fine arts graduate. all if not most of them have talents doing something… paige is crafty she likes making stuff, celphone holder, sewing a purse now trying to sew a dress, last week she made a journal… . Jen can sew a quilt in 2 hours, she crochets, bakes, makes pretty cards… louis does alot,from little journals made of old giftcards to origami boxes, then takes really beautiful pictures, then he makes lots of little knick-knacks, and i think he does alot of clay figurines… im not sure if its clay but they are figurines. min paints a lot she’s due for a show and tell this week, ive seen some of her work and they’re really awesome. tonya paints as well, and scrapbooks. anderson likes sports… hahahahha , sorry i dont know what anderson’s creative outlet is but he loves sports… he spends lots of time with his son that’s sports related. one season it’s basketball, next season it’s soccer. ooh, anderson makes perfect package mock ups, and he cuts almost perfect circles from foam core using just an xacto knife…then there’s renee who does everything…ive  degree in marketing. well 2 years of business management then 3 years in communication arts. that pretty much boils down to marketing. hihihi… here is a picture of our team

we were at target last weekend or was that a weekend before that, and i pretty much got inspired to buy some crayons and color pencils. then i bought more books in amazon. I remember jen saying to me well you need to make something now that you have all those books. she’s right… i keep buying all these books for inspiration and motivation to either start a hobby or make something nice… but i never end up doing anything about it. just flip the pages once i got them and then afterwards they just lay there and collect dust… maybe it’s about time i do something creative… outside of work.

anywho, here’s  a picture of my yellow collection. now i just need to go get me and neil a sketchbook. btw mickey and minnie were a present, i kinda did something to the package but it is still a W.I.P. =S

our manga selves…

manga (mäŋgə, maŋ-)

noun: a Japanese genre consisting of comic books and graphic novels, typically black-and-white and featuring stylized characters with large, round eyes

i just wanted to share and perhaps im a bit too late getting into this new fad of manga-sizing yourself… i dont have time to draw but i do wish i at least tried honing my manga skills growing up. i remember drawing these artforms as a kid (sailor moon and astroboy being some of them) but somehow i feel like ive left my hand drawing skills back in the philippines…

anywho, here is the website : www.faceyourmanga.com.  if you have time, you guys should give it a try. it’s fun :) neil and i tried making our manga’s on separate occasions hehehe here’s what we came up with…coincidence????
