Wish me luck, hope they will like my small pieces! (Sorry guys, I can't attend the US annual show because I'm still here in Philippines. I know, it's so shameful. Forgive me! Maybe in time...) I'll post my full scanned paintings on April.

You know what, I walked in my garden and saw my silly weird sleepy puppy (half rottweiler and half german shepherd). I laughed out loud when I took my cellphone pic of him! Take a look! Nyak nyak nyak hahahahahahaha! Isn't it sweet and cool, it is???


Anyway, I'll make rough sketches / final illustration for my new commission about the music cover soon. Goodnight and sweet dreams!

LOL XD we kept laughing when we saw the pic of your dog. He sleeps like a person! hahaha...

What a wonderful idea of the organizers of the art show to donate 20% of the sales to charity. I think that we heard about the Make-A-Wish foundattion in one of Oprah's shows.
As for your paintings, they will surely love it!!! Good luck honey... we will be keeping fingers crossed for you. ♥ ♥ The composition and colours are fantastic and these are without a doubt some of the best works that we've seen from you. The second painting reminds us of those Japanese style paintings. It will be a great success :)

Oh, and good luck also for your new commission!! ♥

Mall! :) heheheh.. ow ow ( you have great ideas!) i am thinking to open an Etsy shop too. I want to start with prints but i don't know what kind of papers are suitable to do the prints. Maybe you could help me?

Your most welcome!! In april? Okeh i can wait.. actually i can't wait for my bday to come in April too. haha yay!!! April 3rd. wehewww~

pupu: Sweetie, check this out: http://www.redcapcards.com/index.cfm

So you see their products about greeting cards, prints, badges, shirts, etc. Her ink style reminds of yours! :) But I love the way you make ink drawings about fairies, etc.!

For the prints, I heard from others that they use giclee papers. They are very very great but maybe expensive. Maybe you use the best printer (Epson) for printing giclee prints. You can also make small gift tags, bookmarks (you need to laminate them!), etc.! Try to explore different papers (for instance: high quality archival artist paper, Epson Heavyweight Matte paper, handmade papers, etc.)

About buttons, pocket mirrors and badges, you need to buy a button machine so you can use this at all times.

About shirts, bags and others with your drawings / logos, i think you use silk screen. Try to browse “silk screen tutorials / tips” on Google.

If you need more ideas about making wonderful products, you should explore something good in Etsy website, http://www.cuteable.com and others sites and blogs. :)

You can do it! Good luck, my darling creature!

P.S. Honestly, I wish I could register Etsy too but I’m so busy! Plus I don't have money to buy suppliers, materials and machines! Maybe in time, I hope!

P.S.S. Your bday is near! :D

hannah: :D awww, glad you loved them, i'm quite pleased!

keech: *blushes* thank you so much! Regarding the coloured pencils: I use Derwent, Faber&Castell, Colleen and others. But I need to explore new different brands of coloured pencils. :)
