Davao Street Art

For the eyes of other people, these marks may seem to be just mere form of vandalism: filthy and frowned upon. But not for me. I’ve always admired these colorful strokes made along the walls of McArthur Highway, Matina, Davao City. I never missed eyeing at these beautiful works each time I pass by it.
The graffiti on the walls have actually evolved, it’s getting more artsy and beautiful as time passes. And it was only the other day that I finally got the chance to walk along. :)

A part of the old wall:

This is how the walls look now:

I got some spray paint here, I wish one day I’d be able to paint one of these walls.

Wait, is this even legal?

So, I decided to vector my favorite vampire of all time: Damon Salvatore. I’m not really into vampires, especially those sparkling ones. But this, this heartless savage vampire just got me off my feet. :)

I simply love his character. He’s a real badass. And I simply love the way he smiles and the way he stares at (me) haha. I love his beautiful eyes and his messy hair. ♥♥♥'

Took me 4 days to finish this, at around 12+ hours. It’s all worth it :)

In My Mail: Punchdrunk Panda Boat Shoes

My Nintedo X Sega Boat Shoes that I ordered from Puncdrunk Panda arrived today!

 I love their eco-friendly bag. But I love my new shoes more!

This adorable pair is very comfy. It’s quirky, fun, and it’s not like any other boat shoes.

Finally, I got time to blog, and of course do my very first vector project for 2012! Yey for me! This is Yuan Gabriel, my friend Cassey’s son. And he just turned 3 yesterday, January 14, 2012.

 Smart and cute kid. Deserves to be vectored. xD

Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012

2011 was a blur. Everything went so quickly. And I am so thankful for a lot of things that happened to me this year. 2011 has been so good to me. I may have lost some but I gained more.  

For this year, I am so thankful …

that I lost my job and got a better one (with a better pay, of course);

for the numerous design contests I’ve won;

that I was able to battle procrastination, hence, I was able to create this blog and my design portfolio;

for my friends who have been there for me through thick and thin, and gave me the best laughs ever;

for the mommies I have found online with the same interest that became my friends and to whom I have found a new family;

for the gift of family;

for my son who never fails to make me smile;

and for everyone that made my ordinary year, extra-ordinarily special.

I won’t be making any more New Year’s Resolution, because I know I will never be able to achieve one. So this year, there will be no plans, resolutions, promises, goals, wishes, or whatnot… everything’s going to be spontaneous. Whatever will be, will be.

Hello 2012, I am so ready now. Bring it on!

P.S. More clients please… :)
