Leonardo Da Vinci (Part 1 of 18)

Image
If I can draw in correct anatomical proportion, a man, a woman, a child, even an animal...without fear or hesitation, and quickly, confident as if the wind itself moves my spirit and hand; then I am successfully celebrating my purpose for Christmas...for every waking hour It is for me . Merry Christmas for all the days to come from here, where I sit and where I ponder, wherever it takes me. I celebrate with Leonardo.

Disney Epic Mickey

Image
Once upon a wasteland, Mickey sets foot with no more than paint , a nunchuk brush , and some thinner to save himself and his long-forgotten Disney friends from the evil Blot he inadvertently creates.   This game title premise alone is cinematically enthralling enough for the purchase kill!   Question now is To buy &  Not to Die.  But How?  That costs about $100.00 alone!   [of Real Money!]     ------------------------------------------------ BONUS Feature (try to see the "hidden mickey") : What Mickey Mouse Money means in the Philippine vernacular More on Mickey Mouse Money here!    And here!   ~0) ------------------------------------------------ Poor Filipino worker!  Not wanting to end this blog-exposé on a sad note however,  maybe tomorrow, I shall buy real house paint, 2 brushes and thinner ...for much-needed home improvement ( even Mickey knows ! ) ------------------------------------------------   --------------------------------------------

(An Essay in Two Parts)        “Talk about empathy…”                                                                                  ---Me, Ado (recently) If your world is defined by the News, Carefully articulated by BBC World even ...and you know it's true British Broadcasting Corporation Then you know life is beset with bad news and you're actually there ready to face it  intrepidly, if only by sitting on your couch and tuning in. If there's one constant thing in life and you are increasingly made aware of it; it's natural disasters, banking or money problems, political factions, government dissatisfactions, and massive human fails!

On Tablets

Wrought Iron Cat If there's one thing I noticed about me lately, I've been wanting devices similar to an Apple iPad, the latest digital craze, like the new Android 2.2 tablet from Samsung coming out in September, etc... any tablet for that matter.  I've been wanting, but I really am not properly funded, nor do I really need one right away. To appreciate what I already have in my possession (since 2003 I believe), I have revived and revisited my VIEWSONIC Tablet PC and naturally drew something on it, something I've wanted to do for a long time.  Last night, after installing and uninstalling an anti-virus software (because I noticed it was becoming a resource hog for a by-now-old-machine ), I fired up my best pirated drawing software ALIAS on it and drew this wrought iron cat plant holder until the batteries ran out.  This was the length of time this particular illustration took to make.  I know it needs more work but I posted it just the same to see how it would

TED Talks: Jamie Oliver

Early this year, Jamie Oliver was awarded the TED Prize for his unrelenting passion to teach people to eat good, healthy, quality food...so we live longer lives (period).  His Prize wish is to teach every child about food...teach them young so they don't succumb to early heart attacks, modern world's current prostration (exclamation point)...that starts with baneful obesity!!! The importance of having a healthy fit body is closely linked with one's state of mental well-being...which when applied to many, ultimately translates to how we affect world outcomes. Hope for the future begins with you.  Don't look further than your dining table, or if you're increasingly "on-the-go", what you're going to eat for later. I don't know how to get this point across myself any more than people like Jamie Oliver have dedicated their lives to doing.  But for now, let's all give Jamie a listen.  He does you.

Portraits of Celebrity Weirdness

Now here's my style of drawing, or painting...whatever. Featured here: 1) No one wants to play Sega with Harrison Ford; 2) Mr. Noodle with David Schwimmer; 3) Anguish (of Michael Landon) 4) Uncanny Valley with Nic Cage hugging a Macaque monkey and; 5) Lazy Sunday Afternoon just hanging around Christopher Walken fiddling around in his garage. These are featured artworks done in traditional Oil by Brandon Bird (Newsweek's featured Artist of the...Week?) but more than the style of painting, it's how the stars were depicted in a certain light or light-heartedness...and perhaps this is how I would depict them too. If only I could :-} In the meantime, I just made Walken my current Wallpaper.

And Speaking of Monsters

Image
Here are The Repuglicans: 61 monster paintings by Pete Von Sholly with YouTube Slideshow Preview. The folks caricaturized in Repuglicans don't deserve to be depicted as famished ghouls, white-eyed vampires, drooling werewolfs, and rotting zombies. What I mean is, they aren't worthy of the fantastic 1960s monster-trading-card treatment bestowed upon them by veteran storyboarder Pete Von Sholly. In the same way that Mad magazine only parodied good TV shows and movies, this kind of honor should be reserved for good people. In any case, it's still a treat to pore over the hilariously doctored images of Roger Ailes, Glenn Beck, Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and 55 other power-hungry fear-mongers. As Steve Tatham (who wrote the commentary to the book) writes in his introduction: There are 55 million Republicans in the United States. Most of them are decent, honorable people. The Republican limited government, state's rights, traditional Amer

Time to heed my Daily Feng Shui Tip

Hi Adorina! Here is your Daily Feng Shui Tip for Wednesday, May 19 Someone needs to tell my teenager and his friends that today is 'No Dirty Dishes Day' so that we can all co-exist like happy little clams under the same roof. In fact, according to Feng Shui, the kitchen should be kept spic and span since it's so heavily associated with health, happiness and abundance. The secret side of Feng Shui maintains that the flow of energy through your kitchen actually affects the negative or positive life force energy that comes from the food you eat. According to this Chinese energy theory, the amount and the quality of the Chi that's stored in your food rates more highly on the 'health' scale than the nutritional value and makeup! That's not to say that this energy theory ignores the value of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, it just places the energetic qualities of your food above all else. That means that we need to take a good look at the appliances tha
