Hello Mall!

Sa totoo lang, hindi ko na maalala kung paano ko nadiskubre ang blog at art mo. Pero ang alam ko, mga mga tatlong taon na akong sumusubaybay sa mga projects at commissions mo.

You make every Pinoy and Pinay proud. Keep up the good work! :)

God bless.

P.S.
Maligayang kaarawan sa'yo. All the love and happiness para sa'yo. :)

I'm a big admire of your art. I follow your blog for several time now. i don't know how I found your blog but when I found it I became a follower immediately.

Joy said...

Found you through your deviantart! I am a watcher. I also remember asking you a question about the dots thingy in your art and your answer is 'It's my splattering technique, dear' or something like that...hehe.
Happy Birthday, God bless!

Happy happy happy birthday Mally!! :D
I remember the first time i saw your art was on dA, the one titled Nightmare, and that was the most beautiful nightmare i've ever seen in my life :) And i became a loyal follower since then! *hugs Mally*

Azreenchan said...

It's been somewhat 2 years since I stumbled at your blog. That was when I was on internship at my current company now :D

I was heart struck by the colours of your artwork. Really. I can remember that day, I showed it to my colleagues and siblings. And Ive been your silent fan ever since.

You are my mentor Miss Mall. Really. You inspire me :)

Hoki said...

It was actually a close friend of mine that linked me to your artwork on dA. I first saw your artwork way back in like 2005 haha. My friend linked me to your illustrations (she's a huge fan of children's illustration and the like) and soon after I started to follow you.

I am really utterly inspired by you, your artwork and stories of life. It's been a pleasure following you for these past few years and I continue to look forward to new works from you! Happy Birthday and please continue being such an amazing inspiration!!

Jenny said...

happy birthday! the big 3-0!!

i confess that i only found your art about a month ago through flickr. i was browsing someone's favorites and was completely amazed by your beautiful artwork. then i found your blog, your deviantart, etc., haha! you're seriously a huge artistic inspiration to me!

rajavoom said...

Happy Birthday! A tweet from Manila Mommy led me to your blog. I fell immediately in love with your work. I'm thinking of commissioning an artwork from you that can be used as my blog header.

Happy Birthday again.

Nikita2471 said...

I discovered your blog when I was doing a google search for filipino artists! I've been intrigued ever since!

Eremos said...

happy birthday Mall!!! Eat a lot of cake and open hundreds of gifts< :D

I found your art on deviantart a lot time ago :D

I wish you happy happy days!

Love!!

Romelyn Sansolis said...

Happy Birthday Miss Mall :)

I found you at tumblr, I enjoyed watching your "My drawing progress video"... then I started to scroll your page... then I follow your tumblr account... and thanks for following back :)

Then...I started staking at your works from blogspot to deviant even in twitter hehehe I'm such a Mall fan now.

The truth is your works encourage me to work out my skills in traditional arts, though I can't give my full attention because I am employed I'm still trying to learn and I will be so glad to hear some advise from you :D is it possible? yay!

Anyway, have a happy happy birthday Miss Mall! God Bless you always :)

HappyMoonBelly said...

Hello! I first found your art when I first found Deviantart. I was in love with your creations the minute I saw the first art, "Big Gossip" and from there I went immediately to your gallery and favorited a ton of your art. To this day, and probably forever, I will always have a drooling heart for your first custom toy - that Owl. He is seriously amazing and forever and ever an inspiration to me. I stared at that photo for an hour the first time I think, and have sent the link to it to many friends "look at this, LOOK AT THIS!!!!!!11" ^_^

It would be beyond an honor to celebrate your birthday with this contest. I am a HUGE fan and will be forever - contest winner or not! I cannot wait to see all the things you will make in your life.

Thank you for being born, your gift to all of us is bigger than you can imagine.

Cheers, Jennifer happymoonbelly @ gmail.com

YummyCream said...

Happiest Birthday, dear Mall! I must say you do not look a day over 20 :)

I found your art about 6 years ago on deviant art and I continue to be amazed but your skills and imagination!

Many hugs!

I think Google actually recommended you to me! I read blogs through its RSS reader and frequently pop into the Recommendations section. Since a lot of my RSS are art blogs, it was kind enough to show yours as well. So I've been watching you ever since, and thankfully so, your art gives me a very positive charge.

Unknown said...

Happy Happy Birthday!

I found your art on DA, for whatever reason I just can't stop looking at them :). Well I guess it's because there's a lot to look at every piece hehe. I'm just lucky that I was able to track you in FB :P

Age is just a number, as the cliche goes; but age only tells us how much growth we had through the years.

Hi Mall!

Happy Birthday! I first saw your art on The Yellow Paperclip with Bright Purple Spots. I loved it! And then I saw you on DA and was blown away by your paintings. Since then I became a fan and until now I'm still mesmerized every time I see your art. It makes me happy even your previous dark themed art. lol Anyway, keep it up and God Bless! Hope to meet you soon, Kababayan.

Darn, it feels bad to comment just to earn a print. I would gladly pay for the pencils :)

In any case, Found your art through Gallery nucleus.

Hope the B'day turns to be a lot of fun and party.

TracyDawe said...

I found your art while browsing someone's favourites on deviantart (my username is msdawe)back in 2009 if I'm correct.

I'm turning twenty in a couple months, haven't really done much other than art, with my life. I can only hope in ten years I'll be selling art regularly & having fun with it still as you seem to be.
Happy Birthday, good wishes for the years ahead.

Robin "Asaryn" Parkins said...

I found you way back in middle school (I'm now a college freshman) when my pixeling phase was ending. I think I found you through someone who made you an avatar and said you were awesome, so I looked you up. I was in awe of how complex and beautiful your images were despite the simply drawn and it inspired me to move away from japanese styles and explore more. It was the one time in my life where I frequently drew backgrounds. I want to get back to that.

Kristin Jett said...

Happy Birthday, Mall, and many happy returns! I stumbled onto your artwork from a gallery show (Gallery Nucleus, I think) and I've been absolutely amazed ever since. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and vision!

Nexx said...

Happy birthday Mall!
I'm soon turning 30 as well... you'll have to tell me how it feels :(

I discovered your art through a friend who's just able to find the best pearls in this Internet Ocean ;)

Happy 30th Mall! Don't worry, it starts getting better from then on :) I discovered you when a fellow pinoy artist shared your painting video on fb. I wished I discovered you sooner, your art is reeeally inspiring, keep on doing what you do :)

Heather said...

Happy Birthday!

You know, I've waited a little bit to respond to this because I'm trying to figure out where I found you... and I just have no idea. I know it was through another artist's blog... where they mentioned your work... but honestly, I just have no clue whose it was.
I love the beauty of your work... the expressions, the whimsy... the feathery feel... all wonderful.

Anyways, I'd love to be entered!

Frozen Pie said...

A Happy Birthday to you.

I found you the same way I find all of the artists I like, by trawling the deviantart archives. I found your piece "Olivia" while wandering through the archives in the summer.

Ditte Lund said...

I found you through Deviantart and have been a very big fan of you :D

Happy Birthday Mall!

I first came across your art from Deviantart. One of the people I'm following picked a lot of your works as favorites. That's when I started following you. :)

After drifting away from DA, I came across your blog from Valerie's blogroll (quietgirl.net). :D It's definitely more fun viewing your artwork from your blog. We get to read your inspirations behind the concept and even your work process. :)

More power to you Mall. You're truly inspiring!

selamat ulang tahun Mall! it means happy birthday in Indonesian. I forget where I found your art, maybe from a Philippines children book publisher website, it's been a long time.. but I love all your works, and Abu too.. well, cross fingers and hoping I'll get lucky ! :)

AngryGood said...

Sup- I found your artwork on Deviant art today. It was really cool, so I roamed around your DA account to look at all your submissions. I also found a link to your blog, hence I am here now. I'd also like to wish you a happy B-day~
By the way, do you sell your works anywhere? I'm genuinely interested. PEACE.

kennethpasia said...

Happy Birthday MALL! I wasn't aware about your art before I joined The Philippine Mac Users Group. Saw some of your works when you photographed them as your subject, since then, I followed you here on blogspot and the MFT thread on philmug. I became an instant fan then. And now you're one of my friends on Facebook...not to mention a third fan on your FB fanpage, hehehe! So there...just so you know, I really want to own one of your original sketches...hope I get it. ;-)

Unknown said...

I forgot where I found your site, but the moment I saw your art, I was hooked. Your work is amazing and beautiful, and it would be terrific to own one of your drawings :)
Happy birthday!

Hi! Happy birthday! :D
I wanna join this 'cause it seems fun, and your art is superb. I discovered your art through a daily deviation you got on DA (for one of those cute black/white girls), and I instantly fell in love with your gallery! Hihi :)

I hope you have a nice birthday! :D

Nic L said...

Hi Mall! I found out about your work when I joined Illustration Mundo a long time ago, back when there weren't that many Filipinos on the site yet. I don't know if you remember me, but our websites used to be beside each other under the Philippines category! (Now Bjornik is in between us haha!) I've been a fan ever since, and I have also been quietly stalking you on deviantart. :)

Hope you had an awesome birthday! :D

Carrie Ann said...

Happy birthday! Hope you have a wonderful year. Your art makes me so happy to see it. I don't remember how I first discovered it but I think it was either from Audrey Kawasaki or Stella Im Hultberg.

I first met your lovely art work on deviant art when you got a DD for your shizuka piece, and it watched you straight away. I'd say your detailed colour illustrations fascinate me the most, but i still love your emotional graphite girls.

Much love on your special day!

Again, hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Your work is absolutely breathtaking & inspiring! :) :) I found you on deviantart, through someone's favorites I believe, and then spent a long time looking through your work and feeling happy feelings haha

Unknown said...

You are AMAZING! I absolutely adore your pieces. I have two little girls and your work reminds me of how wonderful and precious innocence is. I have your blog listed on my google reader and LOVE IT. Everyday I look forward to seeing if you've posted something new. With full time school, full time work, and being a single mother of two, I have to say I live a bit vicariously through you. ;o) Art used to be my passion and now I just have no time to paint...makes me sad to think about. Seeing the beautiful work you and others do though always helps me appreciate the beauties in life more. I happened upon your name on one of my other favorite artist's sites: Audrey Kawasaki. She also does exceptional work.

And hey! It's my 29th birthday on Saturday the 26th and so happy birthday to you and hooray for all February bdays!

I found you and your lovely art on DeviantArt, just browsing someone's favorites list I believe. You've got such a chill haunting style, I'm glad you share your arts with the internet. Happy Birthday!

I discovered your artwork when I was browsing through deviantArt looking for a Alice in Wonderland themed work that has the wow factor. Then I found yours AND I've been a fan ever since. Your works are always inspiring.

mika :) said...

First and foremost, happy birthday ate Mall! :> I hope you've had a great one this year.

I discovered you through, well, deviantART. I was attracted by the popping colors of your deviations. When I first saw your art, my jaw dropped. Promise, ate! :)) And nung nalaman kong you're from San Fernando, I was like O.O A great artist from a local city. When I say great, di lang yung normal na great. Yung oustanding ba, 'te? :)) Yung super nakakainspire.

I searched you on Google after seeing your deviantArt. Yung website mo ba, 'te? :> Yun bang MayAnnLicudine.com. Dun ko nalaman na you're from La Union. I was like, I'm proud to be from La Union! Then I searched you on Facebook.

I think I messaged you on how I'm an aspiring artist and how I'm dying to improve my art and you said, (not exact tho, I'm not sure) practice lang? :> Well I've been practicing on pencil and paper.

Ako rin, 'te? Natry ko nang magsell ng art through Paypal ba. Nakaabot ng 40$. xD Tinamad na ako. Pero trip trip lang talaga yun eh. :) So you really inspire me talaga.

Yun yun. :> I just wanted to share how I discovered you because I know for myself that it makes me happy to hear these things from others. :)

mika :) said...

Oh, and pahabol!

Yesterday I was in Manila for an ICT contest. (Lost that one, 'teh! :)) Sayang extra curricular.)

I showed your artworks to a fourth y ear student na kasama ko at that time. She told me that you're amazing. :> Hearing that may be normal to you thoughhh.

for the last time, Mika :> said...

Pahabol for the last time. I just have a lot to say about you and your art! :)

I checked your 'watchers' on deviantArt and saw my username under the date July 10, 2010. Every year, I would celebrate that as my own "Worship a Mall" day. xD

That time, I was really into digital art. And I showed your page to my best friend who also happens to be an art fanatic. Si Sheena May Orate ba, ate? :) Yung ka-email mo rin minsan.

I think you're really humble to reply to our messages. Down-to-earth, kahit nakarating ng sobrang malayo :)

I hope I could be like you someday.

~Much love from San Juan, La Union :>

Nathalie said...

I don`t know the first sighting anymore but I watched you on DA and then I saw what you painted on wood and the beauty broke my heart. I can still feel it.

Anna said...

Happy Birthday!

And thank you so much for sharing with us. I discovered your art as I was looking through pictures taken by the Panasonic Lumix LX-3 on flickr and discovered your beautiful photos with drawings and paintings.

You have become such an inspiration. Even though I'm doing a major in economics right now I hope that someday in the future I will get the chance to develop my artistic skills (mainly photography and painting/drawing) further!

I wish you the best of luck :)

Denyse said...

Hi MayAnn! I've known about you for a while now, can't remember where I found you... it may have been deviantart... All I know is that your work is truly unique and beautiful! The colors you use are always so bright and happy that it always achieves to make me smile! your pencil pieces are absolutely astonishing for the pureness and simplicity they portray! I purchased a print of your piece "Babu's first Love" last year because I just had to have it! It is so adorable! and while I would love to win one of your "prices" I hope more than anything that you get to read all the wonderful messages people leave you because you are truly wonderful!
XOXO

Hello. I hope you enjoy your Bday celebrations ! I saw the video of your yoka panda bear on the FB wall of a, not any more, teacher of mine (Jeremy Mariez - he has a web site). I found it soooooo fantastic !!! I went on you tube to read the description text and that's how I found your blog.

Unknown said...

Happy Birthday Mall - You've had an amazing year.

I found your artwork through a series of others artists' favorite links, but if you trace the root of my search it would be the Small Press Expo (a an annual indy-comicbook show in Washington, DC).

I keep hoping that you'll have a show in Washington, DC one of these days. Those galleries in California are lucky to have your art on display.

Mesha said...

Happy Birthday!! Your artwork is amazing :)

Happy birthday, Mall.
30 is not old! You've still got tons of life ahead of you, and hopefully lots of exciting times to enjoy.

Your original drawings are great - I am a real fan of graphite drawings, especially on textured paper. It adds a whole new dimension to a piece. Ah yes, and I found you through deviantART many years ago! I've been keeping up with you since.

Oh, my email: suhaylah.h(at)gmail.com

I'm probably too late, but I thought I'd post anyone - Love the watch! I had something similar when I was 10 - I loved it!

I actually discovered your art while I was in America - it was at Nucleus gallery - you had a coupld of illos there and I fell in love straight away - I wrote your name on my hand so I could look you up when I got home and had to be careful I didn't smudge it all day - Totally worth not washing my hands for the day to see your web site when I got home ^_^

I found your art on deviantART

Sonia said...

Happy Birthday! I hope the day was brilliant and full of happiness and smiles!

As I remember I found your art through someone's blog. I fell in love with your brightly mysterious colors, the cat and the masked boy! I love that they both show up in many of your paintings, a secret life and story unfolds each time I find them :)

Keep up the great work!

Amy Fowler said...

Hi Mall! Happy Birthday :)
I first found your art about 6 months ago through Audrey Kawasaki's fffffound blog. I was immediately amazing at how beautiful your work is! I've been following your blog and your various web sites ever since! My favourite work is your graphite drawings of the girls with swirly hair, they are super! But I also really like the two custom toys you did too, the panda bear especially. I love the way you cut a piece out of the tummy and put a mini panda inside! That was adorable! Anyway, thanks for giving us all a chance to win a piece of your amazing artwork!
