earrings

Performing in front of a large crowd without earrings is like leaving your house without shorts on.

I love making earrings :)

inspiration

Everything can be an inspiration. These are mine ^_^

Babies!

I love babies. Seeing the babies' tiny heads with their giant eyes makes me want to grab them and pinch their cheeks hard. They're just so cute!

Food!

I love food! I love mint and mint chocolate. I love strawberries and yogurt - but strawberries dipped in yogurt is better. Strawberry Santas. Choco bananas. Gelatin. Pasta and Mushrooms.

Jelly fish!

They just look so cute! It's like they're really happy and bouncy all the time. I love how they inspire others to create home furnishings and even cookies!

Science!

Chemical formulas, mathematical formulas and all things scientific are fun. You can explain why things behave the way they do if you understand the behavior of their composition. You can make almost anything if you know what the right ingredients are.


Microbiology and chemistry!

Mutant Serratia marcescens were the star of my undergrad thesis. I'd extract their orange color using ethyl acetate then analyzed it. Unfortunately, my babies got tired of orange and slowly faded to white. I almost thought I was doomed, but I survived. yey!


Kontra-gapi!

I love being a member of Kontemporaryong Gamelan Pilipino (Kontra-gapi). We got to travel all over the Philippines to perform in front of different types of people. I love ethnic music. I love ethnic fashion.


South East Asian Culture!

During the Shanghai World Expo 2010, my favorite pavilions were Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia Pavilions. I love the colors and patterns of their fabrics.

John Herrera!

I studied Basic Fashion Design under Sir John Herrera in 2009 at the Fashion Institute of the Philippines. He is a very talented designer. I love his style. I wish I had half the talent that he has.

Brooke Hagel!

She's my favorite fashion illustrator. Whenever I see her illustrations, I can't help but smile!



The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. I admit that I am not creative, and I would like to cite my sources. Follow me on  to view the original images that link to my references. Cheers!

Every human being must know how to read, write and swim. Seriously.

This is one of our submissions for our fashion illustration class. Our teacher asked us to paint on colored boards using white watercolor paint. It was my first time to use this technique, and I really love how it turned out. When I find the time, I might try it again just for fun.

digital media

These illustrations were done using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

I love drawing gowns :)

gowns

These are my first few illustrations.

Before this, my best drawings were stick figures. I wanted to learn how to draw so I studied how ^_^

dresses

Took me half a day to finish and I was able to wear them the next day. Email me if you want a tutorial :)
