dottedeye asked: omg love your work, do you have a deviant art account? Tried looking, but couldn't find. You should get one!:)
I don’t have a DevArt account. Not anymore anyway. Just got really put off by the crowd.

Jelly Kid takes a cozy nap.
I tried vectoring again. Why not?
If you have the time, please give this a quick score over at Threadless.
I’d sorely appreciate it. Also y’all should watch Bravest Warriors if you haven’t been yet.

High ResolutionThis is sorta a procrastination piece. Sorry clients! But I sorta needed a slight break from the pressure of work and school. Blegh.
Anyway, I was thinking Kirby should have the powers of a burger whenever he eats one. He’ll have the ability to be delicious. Ooh.
Also if you have the time, might I interest you into scoring this Jelly Kid Tee? Please?
Also, this thing is now available as a print and as a tee on my Society 6! Yey!
I go back to work now…

High ResolutionHatBoy: AnonyGhost
Hey peeps. One of the things keeping me busy is that I recently got commissioned to make silly comics for an international publication. I’m pretty excited about it, actually. Anyway, this is one of the strips they rejected. They made the right decision.
Blegh. But AnonyGhost will soon go through a make-over as I want a better character design for this dude. I’ve always wanted a ghost character so I don’t just want to make this guy a one-strip thing.

Guff!
Since I have no new art to post, I thought I’d share some old, random sketches I made in my notebooks that I initially thought wasn’t worth posting. It’s nothing special, but it’ll have to do for now.Random notes from Archeology, French, Philippine Art History, and Marketing class notes are scribbled here and there. Nothing worth reading really, but I doodle a lot in class or when I’m idle and far from my computer. There are more drawings than notes in these books. And my notes are often confusing or unorganized. Haha!
Anyway, thanks for following again guys! :)

Coff-Tea & Cramps
Someone mistakenly put tea leaves in the coffee jar and it got mixed in with the grounds. So it’s coff-tea now. I think I heard coff-tea in Would I Lie To You, but I can’t be sure.
Currently drinking it now in my bed as I’m typing this, my feet crossed into a lotus position in danger of cramping. This is my work position. Mostly because my desk is too cluttered with books and all sorts of guff.
Anyway, hi guys. I know there hasn’t been a lot going on here, but I have been busy. But to put some of you at peace… Yes, I am still continuing Burton X PKMN. I know most of you are only following me for that and I greatly appreciate it none the less. So thank you.
And I want to say an even bigger thank you to all of you for sticking around and liking my silly drawings. You’re all making it difficult for me to hate myself and my work. Haha!
I raise my glass of coff-tea to you! And now it’s back to work for me. Good night.
PS: I wanted to make “thank you” art, but I’ve been too busy to make anything. So sorry. :|

High ResolutionSammich {2013}
Available as a small print on my Society 6
Not much new here recently. Sorry about that. As my school year comes to an end, I’ve been drowning in final requirements.
I’ll see all of you next month. Just let me just go punch schoolwork in the butt. -
Diglett #050 & Dugtrio #051
Part of The Tim Burton x PKMN Project By Vaughn Pinpin
I gotta tell you guys, I found myself really stumped with Diglett and Dugtrio. It was the nose. It was too goofy and I couldn’t find a way to make it seem Burtony enough and not cliché.
So I did what I always do, I browsed through the art of Tim Burton once again for inspiration. And I found my answer in Char Boy, which is probably one of Mr. Burton’s lesser known tales.Here’s a pic of Char Boy who is made of char:
The popular idea of Tim Burton characters are all thin and big eyes and whatnot, but apparently the vocabulary of this style is larger than I thought. Very interesting and worth exploring. :)
Side note: If I cram a Diglett into the hole with a Dugtrio, can I call it a Dugquartet? -
![L’Enfant de Janice {2013}
This piece is my contribution for Haute Auteur 2013 which is the annual silent film competition by the UP Cineastes. Along with an exhibition of the entries, there will also be an art exhibit of which I am a part of along with some excellent art buddies like Jamie Cabatit, Bernard Gatus, and Rob Cham.
If you’re not too geographically challenged, please do drop by. The exhibition will be open for viewing on February 27 - March 1 at the Old Film Lobby, Plaridel Hall, UP DIliman CMC, and on March 4 – March 8 at the Greenbelt 3 Lobby, Makati City.Also, this is available as a print in case you want one? Yes? Click here to make your walls less boring.
Also the following is gonna be a fairly long and possibly rambly rationale of this piece…
[[MORE]]
In Philippine mythology there is a creature called the Tiyanak, which is basically a demon baby. If a baby dies before a Catholic baptism, supposedly, it is denied entrance to Heaven and comes back as, quite literally, a monster of a child.Now, in Philippine pop culture the Tiyanak has been called “Anak Ni Janice” which translated into English means, “The Child of Janice” which is in reference to a horror movie about a tiyanak, entitled “Anak Ni Janice,” in which had a mother facing facts that her child was a demon baby. I barely remember the movie as I hadn’t seen it in such a long time.So anyway, Haute Auteur’s theme this year is about modern societal horrors. I figured I wanted to reference something from Philippine cinema as well as Philippine mythological horrors, which is the majority of Philippine mythology anyway.So this piece is about the issue of gender and sexuality. If you notice, there’s a neutrois symbol on the baby’s forehead because at this stage of a human’s life supposedly none, not even the baby itself, knows what its gender or sexuality is and we should be fine with that and shouldn’t really deciding for it what it should be. Let the human decide for itself what it wants to be at it’s own time.But in the Philippines, the conservative idea of gender binarism is prevalent and is gospel truth to most. I think humans are far more complicated than that though, but a major part of society may disagree. So, this painting is of a baby that was “vandalized” with dehumanizing, bright-orange scribbles to be perceived as a demon baby for being seen as something that doesn’t fit traditional labels and tagged with “L’Enfant de Janice” which translates to “The Child of Janice” or “Anak ni Janice.” I wrote it in French to get into the Haute Auteur spirit.
So anyway, something that shouldn’t be seen by as an appalling idea, is perceived as a “horror.” This might be an overly biased piece and I don’t expect anyone to agree with me though. But, I’m hoping this piece sparks more public discussions in the Philippines about gender and sexuality at the very least.
On a side note though, I’ve a hunch that the Tiyanak might be an invention of the church. Because in the Philippines, during Spanish colonial times, the Spanish friars often demonized a lot of non-Christian activities. Kind of like how Catholics took over December 25 to become Christmas. Anyway, probably to frighten Filipinos into getting their babies baptized, they invented the Tiyanak? Maybe? Or probably not?Anyway, see you at the exhibition. Maybe?

High ResolutionStimulate {2013}
A portrait of a lonely man on Valentine’s Day.
This painting is a couple of days late. I was going to post this on Valentine’s Day, but I found myself too busy to find time for it. It was supposed to be humorous and aimed at single peeps. Also, this is like a vague attempt at erotica art. Maybe. Haha!Happy post-Valentine’s Day though.
This is also available as a print over at my shop.

High ResolutionHappy Valentine’s Day?
Sorry for the reblog, but I’ve been too busy at school to make anything. Decided to refrain from anything non-school related for a bit to meet some deadlines.
Also, it’s Feb. 14 currently in the Philippines. We live in the Future. Granted it’s a dystopian future, but whatever.
Enjoy sucking on your partner’s face today! Kissu kissu!

I’ve been feeling mighty depressed and annoyingly emotional recently. And I thought I might as well just scream out in agony through comics. If that’s alright with you guys…

I Put Ads on my Tumblr site.
I don’t think I’ll keep it too long. It sort of clashes with my content and shiz. Now why did I do this? For monetary greed? Not really.
You see Tumblr, I still have a dream of furthering my studies. And the dream is SVA. Which is in New York, New York. And I did a bit of research and it turns out I will have to earn about $30K or about 1,200,000 Philippine Pesos to pay for a year of tuition alone. Not to mention the cost of food and lodging and travel and all sorts of necessities.
So technically, I need to become a millionaire. Haha!
This sucks. Worrying about money sucks. But I still want to study and improve my craft and that unfortunately requires money. So I’m trying out putting ads on my Tumblr.
Now, I’m not making much at the moment as an illustrator. I’ve had to use a lot of my money paying for college now. So I don’t really get to save much. But, I was wondering, if I put ads on my Tumblr, maybe I can earn a little extra by the end of the 2014 for a year at SVA?
Maybe.
I’ll try looking through some scholarships and stuff though.
And also, I’d really like to continue making Tumblr content. But it’s distracting me from endeavors that could help me fill my piggy bank. So for now, we’ll keep the ads. I hope it doesn’t bother you though…
CAPITALISM!
