The Tattoo on His Chest

I did this one lazy sunday afternoon in 2007. I told hubby to stay still for me and he did while watching TV.

A moment worth doing all over again.

Robinhood

This was done way back in 2003. I remember having very strong angry feelings that day. I don't want to talk abou it anymore but it had something to do with people meddling with my decisions and pulling my husband down. Who wouldn't be angry? I couldn't scan this because the sketchpad is bigger than my scanner!

A Valentine Present

February 2007, I had no job and it was Valentine's Day. So I decided to make this for hubby as a simple Valentine present. I put it in a frame from the dollar store. Human figures interest me. I drew this maybe because I was sad but she was nude basically because I appreciate things and people with pure intentions, no outer coverings, no pretensions.

Milo, the Singing Pooch

A photo I took of our pet Milo. This won 2nd Place in "Furry Tales", a nationwide amateur photography contest that featured pets.

If you want to find out more about Milo, please click on his photo.

"Deidre"

Another one in my unicorn collection.

This is the very first time I dabbled in coffee painting. I used it like water color. It happened one day when I was bored at work and thought I'd do something with leftover coffee from my mug. I didn't know there's some coffee artists already out there.

I plan to do more of these. I guess it's never too late.

Duane Chapman: A Study in (IKEA) Pencil

Drawn during one of those coffee breaks at work. I love coming home from IKEA with a couple of shopping pencils because they are so handy and I can keep them in my purse or jacket pocket to use anytime I feel like I want to sketch something. They're small, around three inches (compare to the pink eraser). Thus, this Dog the Bounty hunter is only around 5 inches. Maybe less.

"Bastien"

I like naming my unicorn sketches. His name is Bastien because that's the first thing that came to my mind after I signed it. It now sits in an easy-open gallery frame in one corner of our house which hubby wants to convert into my gallery, with spotlights and all.

Lightning over the Golden Gate

Lightning over the Golden Gate Bridge.
BMW Pumkin Carving Competition, Halloween 2008. 2nd place.

I won First Place in 2007. Don't be awed. It was an amateur competition and I competed against smiley pumpkins (you know, triangle eyes and a boat for a mouth) and jack-o-lanterns! But this one lost. I was in a hurry and there was no planning. Everything happened overnight -- it was a random concept. It was also my first time to use the hubby's drummel tool too. I guess I'll switch back to manual labor for 2009. I trust my fingers more than any mechanical tool, I guess.
