Colores. Vida. Alegria.

Last December, i had the chance to design the org shirt for the Faculty and Staff of Ateneo de Zamboanga University for the Ateneo Fiesta. The theme is "Colores, Vida, Alegria" (Color, Life, Fun) and the color of the shirt is black. I created these two different designs. First is in hand lettering / typography style and the other is more intricate tribal /aztec style.

Due to budget constraint, they chose the simpler design. Either way i'm glad they chose to print my design. I was estatic when i saw this photo of the University President wear it during the opening parade.

Selfie with the President 😁 Hi, Fr Karel :3 #AtFest2014

Handmade Wooden Signs

Two of the most creative visionaries of this city has commissioned me to create handmade artworks for their new studio. Vista de Lente Photography headed by Mr Reymond Ledesma and Mr Rey Fortuna, and Inkpressive Invitations by Doc Venus Fortuna, trusted my crafty side to create sweet decors with quotes or phrases and images that will add personality to their new workspace. Inspired by western wedding event styling and my recent relationship with Pinterest, I was challenged to do traditional painting using scavenged wood I found in our garage, by-products of our house's renovation. My output surprised me as well. I didn't expect i can do such things. The feedback were also positive and now, many are already asking me to do one for them. Here are the first set of my "Handmade Wooden Signs" which i created for Vista de Lente. Click photos for larger view. More after the jump.

The set is currently displayed at the reception area of Vista de Lente Photography office at the new L&F Blgd fronting Cecile's Pharmacy along San Jose Rd.
