BRAIN FARTS

A possible name for my future Design House/Studio! It’s short, it’s catchy, it’s clever, it’s funny!

Aside from selling my services as a graphic artist (and sometimes, as a man-whore), my friend Jerry and I have thought about teaming up to become freelance web designers!

I’ve always wanted to make websites, but as it turns out, I suck at codes, html’s and whatnot. I don’t know why I never got the hang of it. But now, I have Jerry to deal with that, and li’l ol’ me can focus more on the visual candies. Sweet deal.

So yeah, if ever this plan push through, i want this as our company name! (Although I don’t know if anybody else is already using the name, pero kung wala pa, AKIN NA TO!!)

SHOOTING A SHORT

Hi, my name is Ardie, i like to draw hearts. I also love my mommy very much. So very much.

Wah! Making a film is not easy, especially for a newbie like me. Madami palang kailangan. Bwehehe. Pero ayuos na rin, salamat sa lahat ng tumulong kahit hadalian. Sa mga actors, sa mga groupmates, sa mga nagpahiram, sa mga bumili ng beef mami, sa mga walang magawa at gustong manuod…THANK YOU! Thank you to DEATH!

Jobert, tapusin mo na yan thesis mo at tapusin nantin ang pag-e-edit neto! Premiere? After Effects? Yes please!

Paki abangan na lang ang kalokohan na ako ang pinag-ugatan, nakakahiya man, magiging ito ang aking pagkukunan ng kabuhayan.

LOCAL CELEBRITY

Okay, you Malolos people out there, you probably know who this guy is, right? He’s really not that hard to miss, especially on a sunday. Got  insipred, by an idea my bro pitched. Local Celebrity Shirts!  Haha!

Kapatid ko kasama si idol!

TAMKOMIKS

I was given 3 pages to try and make you laugh. The key word here is try.

But do grab one if your interested, it’s not free though, 50 bucks a piece. Pero sulit na yun jek!

RESTARTING SERIES:52

September last year marked the birth of my first ever personal art project since the conception of schoolboyproject. Boredom, along with a measly amount of ambition and personal growth, gave birth to SERIES:52!

SERIES:52 was supposed to be a deviation of all those Project365 art/photography/whatever projects out there in intarnutz, opting to produce artworks weekly instead of daily. (Of course, much of the reason behind the decrease in the amount of outputs points back to my uncanny ability to be lazy… on a whim!) Posters, regardless of what nature, or it’s content may be, was intended as the primary format to be used for each entry. (As it can be used as part of my portfolio when applying for advertising stints in the future.)

This was entry no. 1 entitled “Discomfortingly Comfortable.”

Yes. It makes no sense.

Such promise, this SERIES:52 brings, such wonderful promise! And promises was all it ever was. Weeks went on and the amount of entries piled up, I keep on putting it off believing that I could easily catch up if i wanted to, but as it turns out, na-da, after all it’s me we’re talking about here, natural, ‘di na nasundan yan.

But after the new year, and some drunken perspective, I opted to restart the series, as i don’t want to waste the project just because i got toooo lazy for my own good. I know this could help me a lot, whether in helping me learn more about art or in improving my photoshop (or whatever) skills or in beefing up my portfolio. It’s win-win situation for me. Win-win-win even.

SO here it is, take two of SERIES:52, entry no. 1/52:

click me!

I know i’ve been neglecting this blog a lot lately, so yeah, let’s talk about that some other time.

OO, NANUOD AKO NG HIGHSCHOOL MUSICAL 3!

E kesa naman My Only Ü, di ba?

WEEEEE!

Hehehe. Pero sa totoo lang, medyo nainis ako nung ginawang pang sine yung HSM3, kailangan na tuloy magbayad. Tapos di pa ko makakasabay sa pagkanta at pagsayaw, kasi me kasama ka nang nanunuod.

Wag ka kabisado ko yung mga kanta! Shet sa puwet!

Guilty pleasure ko to e. Yes, inaamin ko, pinauod ko yung HSM1, at sa kasamaang palad pinanoud ko din yung HSM2. At ang masaklap pa dun, nag ENJOY ako! As in, enjoy na enjoy.

Okay, aaminin ko na na kaya ko lang naman pinanuod to in the first place, e dahil crush ko si Gabriella (yung latina na boses kiki) tsaka si Sharpei (yung blonde na boses kiki). Di ko naman inakala na magugustuhan ko din yung movie…

So yun nga.. Nuod kayo.

Yes, I’m 23 years old. What’s your point?

(Si Jessica naiyak!)

SERIES: 5IFTY 2WO!

Hi, I’m an artist! Yeah! And I’m having an ART attack! Get it? Get it?

As some of you would know by now, art is the only thing I’m good at (at least, I think so). And I have been telling myself, nay, convincing myself, that this art shit is the only thing that could save my ass from whence the time comes that I am to set sail to world of the corporate.

(I tok perpek inglis too buy da wii, callcenter, yatheenk?)

Anyway, one of the biggest challenge for me as an artist is that there times where I let my drawing skills get stale. You know, moldy, rusty, from the lack of practice (or from compulsive masturbation, whichever). So i tried thinking up ways to help me overcome my laziness (but not too much, laziness is a part of me as much as my hairy balls are). And look what i came up with!

Why hello there SERIES:52, may I ask what the hell you are?

Well S:52, as what i cleverly call it, is my feeble attempt to regularly produce a fine piece of art every week. Poster sized art, that may range to any form: traditional drawing, digital, typography, etc. etc. Just as long as it chronicle things happening in my life.

Yes, i know it would be better to make it daily instead of weekly, but somebody does that already, plus, LAZINESS remember? So yeah, once a week would be ideal for me.

I’ am so psyched for this, I’m starting this week, i even bought a new sketch pad and some righteous UNI PENs for this! I know my art style really doesn’t appeal to everyone but for those that do, do wish me luck! Every thing I’ll be doing will mostly likely be posted at my DeviantArt account.

POP ART PHOTOS!

These are fun.

I got tired of doing the same, old, boring photo manipulating shit that i do. Maybe it’s just me, but it feels so blant when i look at them now. Maybe it’s the artist in me or siguro maarte lang talaga ko at maraming luho sa buhay, pero i wanted to do more. So i ended up with these!

Haha. I don’t know pero proud na proud ako sa mga to. I’m like Dexter, the boy genius, brooding ever his latest thingamajigs or doohickeys labeling each one “the greatest invention ever completed.” That’s exactly how i feel about these pieces.

Maybe it’s because of how much skill it takes to draw those images using only this retarded ancient ball-mouse (yes optical mice/mouses are , for some reasons, still unavailable to me), or the fact that the colors pretty much remind me of how i vintage-y my mind is right now, or maybe its how the images looks sooo POP ART, which is what my art is basically all about. I don’t know I just like it. It represents me at a certain level.

what do you think?

DRAWING SKILLS ARE BACK!

Ewan ko. Pero pakiramdam ko nitong mga nakaraang buwan parang walang-wala akong gana gumuhit. Taenang yan, wala! As in wala! Ni matinong concept di ako makaisip, nauuwi lahat sa walang kakwenta kwentang mga doodle na hindi rin naman maganda sa paningin pag humahawak ako ng lapis at papel.

Pak Da Wat?

Siguro dahil naisip ako o namulat na mas marami pa talaga ang mas magaling sakin pagdating sa art. Haha, Ang yabang ko naman kasi e. Pa-cool masyado ampota. Pero marahil siguro na rin sa masyado akong nadala ng pagpopotosyap (photoshop). Pota ang sarap kasi e, walang ka-hassle hassle bigla bigla me “art” ka na kagad.

Kaso di nagtagal, nawala na din yung thrill ng digital art e. iba na din talaga yung gawang kamay, yung ikaw talga gumuhit gamit ang lapis bolpen at papel.  Iba yung fullfillment.

HEROES: VILLAINS

Promo images for the third season of HEROES have been released and they sure look awesome. Hayden looks as hot as ever. But fellow fans digress the lack of Kristen Bell in the roster. Sad.

I liked how it looks like something that Alex Ross whipped up. It has this “painted” effect going for it, which I think is kinda cool.

It will start off with the Villains arc which i think will focus more on Sylar… I guess, I don’t know, but according to a write up on the 2nd or 3rd episode of the season, twelve villains will escape from The Company’s facility because of Sylar. Hmmm. Interesting.

Nathan got shot, at the end of season two, i bet Claire’s blood will do something about that predicament.

And about Claire, her powers are really ticking me off. Now the writers can kill anyone they want and just let Claire bring them back to life if they need to. Sheeesh. That’s smooth guys, real smooth.

I wonder what else could possibly happen to Hiro and Ando. I heard that they’re looking for this speedster, a female speedster, in Paris. finally, someone fast! And there’s also this business about Hiro’s family secret. Dun-dun-dun-duunnnn~!

You know who i really miss, Isaac Mendez. Hope they smack a buttload of Claire’s blood on his corpse so that they can bring him back.

Okay. Let’s see. Peter got his powers back already (his memories also). And so did Sylar. No one died permanently (well i’m a little unsure about this, as there’s Nathan’s shooting & Nikki’s explosion, but since their pictures are included in the roster… yeah). Everybody’s okay. Well lookee here, it seems like season two never really happened at all.

Well let’s face it. I wasn’t really that happy about how season 2 turned out (having only 11 episodes. shyeah, iknorite?), so I’m really hoping that season three would deliver the expected awesomeness for us fans.
