Surreal Self-Portraits

I’d been trying to conceptualize my class exhibit’s poster for hours (which is due tomorrow), but found myself just stuck and experiencing design block.

Then it came; that itch to scratch for self-expression. And at a most inconvenient time!

I went with it anyway.

In short, today’s story is: I had a stroke of surrealism and just had to make these.

(yup, school deadlines can wait… T__T)

Hinahanap Kita // Carlos Castaño

“Bubutasin ko ang mga ulap para magbigay daan sa liwanag, para malaman mong hinahanap pa rin kita…”  ❤

One of my fave tracks off the MNL 143 Original Soundtrack. So much feels! I encourage you all to support this indie film as it continues to reach a wider audience, and purchase the original soundtrack when you get the chance!

Watch out for updates at their Twitter or Facebook Page.

***EDIT***
• MNL 143 will be showing in local theaters/SM Cinemas starting December 12, 2012!
• This track is now on Soundcloud!

Bright + Bold

It’s only just the 2nd week of the term and already things are so crazy. SO MUCH TO DO!

Anyway, the other night I was playing around, just thinking of a concept or art direction to use on my portfolio website. I came up with my  “Cheerleading Bananaman” character! Except this time I added the lashes, braces, and uh, skirt to sorta represent me, lol. I feel like I’m still at that stage where I’m still trying to concrete my art style, and true enough i doodle more but get too lazy to scan them after that. But for now, this will do– a combination of bright colors, bold typography, and line art! 😀 Stay tuned for my portfolio site which is undergoing coding right now 🙂

*Special mention to kuya Jayson for helping me figure out a glitch in the CSS code. I literally spent hours mulling over that!* 

Since it’s also my last term (i’m still not used to being called a “graduating” student!) a huge part of my portfolio class is the exhibition at the end of the term. That means… we’ll need to display exhibition-worthy works! I wanted to do more new stuff, and the one below is one that i’ve been working on– a double exposure portrait featuring the lovely Japanese piece, The Great Wave of Kanagawa 🙂 Whatever new stuff I’m working on will only be unveiled in the exhibition so I hope whoever’s reading this would get to go! It’ll be at Fully Booked Top Shelf, Bonifacio Global City.
