Venir Avec Moi

It's been a while since I decided to become productive-slash-creative. In college, we do it because it's a requirement, this time I just challenged myself. Contests aren't really my thing because I'm very insecure with my capabilities as an artist, but then again we all have different styles, right? Besides, I'm very broke as of the moment, I need the cash.

So I'm going to have to ask for not even five minutes of your time to vote for my entry on talenthouse.com.

Art and Stuff

Recently, I've been trying to get inspired so I can produce more artworks - become more productive and all that so I can put something in my portfolio that doesn't look too god-awful. That's why last weekend over my dad's place, I was happy to have made something that's pretty pleasing to the eye: my first ever go at digital painting. Why not, right? The tablet was there, and I was never really any good when it came to digital painting. This wasn't so bad, though.

Lana Del Rey served as my muse. Maybe I should send this to her?

SWERVECITY

It's been way too long since my last mix tape (and not to mention, my last post lol). Today, I got inspired to do something a bit productive and to also practice my designing abilities. What better way to do it than to make a playlist, right?

I present to you "SWERVECITY", inspired by the first track from Deftones' new album, Koi No Yokan aka my latest obsession. Enjoy!

Neo-Traditional

I haven't had a tattoo done in a while; the last one was my "Infinite" tattoo by my friend Gab that was done some time in 2010 (probably on the fourth quarter of the year). After a couple of months, I was itching to get a new one or at least to have my paper crane and the one on my wrist retouched, which obviously did not happen. Yesterday however, was a dream come true!

Three roses were tattooed last night on my right shoulder. The session lasted for about more or less five hours. This is my first ever major piece. All thanks to my really good friend, Kenneth Quijano of Good Hand Tattoo (formerly Applehead Tattoo) who made things possible!

Okay so this is just the first session, I'll have to go back and get the lining fixed if ever there are problems, and then to more elements to the back part, then it's time to color!


PS.
If you're curious, it hurt like a bitch. See those red splotches? They're bruises. *sigh*
