Thank you for the comment. Most of my things start out as pencil sketches that I scan into my computer. Then I can manipulate the sketches, which usually just means adding a splash of color.

The face and the sunrise were originally photographs. In fact, the sunrise image started out as a photograph of my floor. It was uninteresting, so I messed around with it, and eventualy it became a sunset.

Oh, by the way, it’s that’s a lovely image you have. I know it’s digital, but what exactly did you use to make it?

I enjoyed your writing and Paskong Pinoy essay! Your illustration is a breath of fresh air and I love the uniqueness of the trees :)

Merry Christmas. I especially enjoyed the essay on Paskong Pinoy.

As a native American, I can relate to adulteration, acculturation, diffusionism and assimilation. (and all those shades between.)

My hope is that in the end, all that’s good on our planet doesn’t end up lost, swallowed up by those cultures who happen to have access to more resources and technology.

There’s nothing sadder than seeing a proud tribesman, in the heart of Africa, wearing a pair of Nikes, or his wives wearing bras because the missionaries have taught them that breasts are secondary genitalia.

oy, and here i rant!

Bless you and your family.

love,
cat

Thanks for popping by my blog!

Wonderful colour and shade contrasts you have here. And a fun interpretation of holiday too.
