My illustrations always start with the linework. If I can choose only one favorite step in making art, it's this. I guess, all those coloring books I had as a kid made a huge impact. The negative spaces that embody every page wait to be filled, and yet each page is beautiful as it is.

Some studies I did using wet media. I tried watercolor, “watery” gouache, and poster colour (the latter being my favorite among my limited supplies). I was proud of that last page. Haha

And oh, I made this watercolor sketchbook, too! :D

Found a fun way to show road photos. :D Here's my view from the back seat during our trip to Batangas, Philippines two weeks ago.

With so many sharing platforms available now, I wonder if my words can find their home anywhere in the internet.

It would be nice to have it all in one place. A single space where curious people can see both my works AND what I'm up to these days. No distractions. No algorithm to beat. No platform-hopping.

And... here we are!

I'm thinking this news feed will be a journal of some sort, which can range from a simple note to a blog post, where I can talk about what I'm working on, what I'm currently thinking, or things that have sparked my wonder and what-not.

It’s not meant to send new posts to your inbox yet (I have my Substack for that), nor is it meant to be reacted or commented to.

This might sound a bit counter-intuitive, but let me quote from Seth Werkheiser:

Now, when and where to buy a domain?
