The style of a legend

This particular style is an offshoot from my book Naku, Nakuu, Nakuuu! The stories are legends, one of my favorite genre to illustrate. Ethnic textiles, patterns, fabric, and costumes inspired me to produce this. I can't wait to finish this book for Lampara. I hope to finish it soon!

"When I was Seven" was a mini Ang INK group exhibit at the Gallery 7, now moved to The Chocolate Kiss along Roces Avenue corner Sct. Tobias in Quezon City. After visiting at the Tala Gallery along Sct. De Guia along Tomas Morato for Ang INK's Annual Exhibit, please drop by and enjoy these nice art and good food at The Chocolate Kiss.

Enjoy!

Here's the original post and the story when I was seven years old.

Ang INK jumps into the Imaginarium

"The Garden of Forgotten Happiness"

So, what is it like from under the sea of unseen creatures? or beyond the intergalactic space? perhaps it looks much better on the islands of blissfulness? 

Imaginary places are captured and will be sent off on September 19, 2010 signed and delivered through Ang INK's annual exhibit postmarked as "Postcards from Nowhere" to the uninspired mind. The exhibit will make brain waves cling to its vacation mode at the Tala Gallery along Tomas Morato in Quezon City. 

I'm going to leave you a sneak peak of my work, just a ticket to your imagination. Hope to see you there!

It's that time once again to celebrate the most anticipated gathering of book lovers in the country. Going to the Manila International Book Fair is as exciting to hunt and cherish invaluable treasures. I'm glad I'll be taking part of the event at the SMX SM Mall of Asia once again and will be looking forward to meet and greet new people. The 31st book fair will start on wednesday, September 15 until the 19th and opens 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

My book signing schedules will be on the 18th, saturday at 4:00 p.m. at the Tahanan Books booth for my newest delightful book written by Reni Roxas entitled "Ay Naku!." And on the 19th, sunday at the Adarna House booth for my latest "National Artist" book entitled "Ang Tuta ni Noe" written by the National Artist for Literature Virgilio Almario. Adarna House will have special contests and events for kids in celebration of their 30th anniversary at the book fair. You might like to encourage your kids to join, here's the link.

I will also have a limited, very reasonably priced artworks on sale at the Lampara Books booth. These eye-candy artworks are featured on this post. These are my latest works done in acrylic on wood, 24"x 32" x 0.8" perfect for visual affirmation, inspiration, and motivation companion.

I like making artworks that instill positive messages while enjoying whimsical art, these motivational words subliminally manifest in the subconscious mind thus empower us to be more productive and be successful in whatever field we pursue. If you are interested in these pieces, please leave a comment.

I hope to see you there and enjoy treasure hunting!
