Neko Internet Cafe + Gasera Restaurant
Hola guys! Next week, I'll reply to all you, I'm still busier wahhh... Okay, I know this blog got a ton of images, hehe. My sister Erica & Mama planned to have their new business: internet cafe & restaurant. Are you all ready to see my progress pics? Here you guys go!
Mural... Mural... Mural....
Art installation is so fun! I am a former prop artist. I can do wire / wood / rock / soft / paper mache installations.
I put few installations on the wall. Then I created a handmade chalkboard.
Cute numbers. Craft is so fun, isn't it? Kids saw me doing my art stuff & asked me "Can you teach us how to make art crafts?" Indeed, they are so sweet. I'll teach them soon.
Then I made my rough sketch, scanned & colored it on Adobe Photoshop CS 8.0 with my old Wacom tablet.
Thanks to my old friend Lek. His printing & design business Orange Segment is quite good! My hands were painfully swollen & hurt 'coz of stretching.
Finally, I have finished designing Erica's internet cafe. I wanted to revise a few things but I didn't have time to do them.

See more details on Photoshop. Counter Strike, Rock Lee, Naruto...
Lunatic, Totoro, orbs, etc.
Poring from Ragnarok. Yummy Asian foods!
Inspired by the Japanese art films, Paprika, Tekkon Kinkreet & Spirited Away.
Photoshop custom traditional brushes.
Susuwatari creatures, Ragnarok, L (Deathnote), etc.
My beloved characters Babu & Abu
That's my art sign name "Mall". Erica thought it was shopping mall, bwah!
Then, this is my mama's new small restaurant & grill, Gasera. Do you guys see my old colorful oil painting "Ima"? Gasera means "lamp" in Spanish language.
Erica, I'm hungry! I'd love to order a yummy pasta!
I painted this wood panel, haha! Still, I haven't finished it yet.
Sweet, my mama & Erica helped me painting outside the garden. Wonderful moment. Okay, I have to sleep now. I need to fix other things at Gasera Restaurant & Grill. I am almost... sick (flu) 'coz of my overwork / overstress. Goodnight & Sweetdreams. Oh, Merry Christmas!

We are finally able to comment in this wonderful post :D the both of us are in awe with the photos and amazing work in progress that was to create the restaurant / internet cafe. Both places are so inviting and we love the original decoration that you created for the Internet Cafe... we bet that it is already a huge success! The first minutes that people enter there, instead of going to the computers they will surely going to admire your spectacular mural for tons of time *giggle*
Also, the name that you chose for the restaurant is great! We love the font you used for the sign and all the little details in the room for the meals. We need to save money so that we can travel there to visit this incredible space!! *are excited*
Oh, just wanted to add that the last picture of this post is so pretty ♥ It shows the strong bound of your family and that this was such an enjoyable moment for everyone :D
Wishing Gasera Restaurant & Grill and the internet cafe the best of luck and that it gets feature in a Tourism board magazine so that loads of tourists can go there \o/

They're both lucky to have you and people in your neibourghood are lucky to have this cafe and this restaurant nearby! ;)
Parang ang sarap tumambay dito! Mall, where in La Union is your place located? Maybe I can pass by on the way to Baguio. Ang ganda! Your Internet shop beats all (even my brother's!) in how it looks. I love it.
I LOVE your art! It is all so intricate and full of imagination. Everything here is incredible :) You've really inspired me, I'm only 16 but hope to start drawing pictures for a childrens book I am going to write.
I wish you all the best for the future.
