ken butler, my local hero.

interview with brooklyn artist, who says he's a dada constructivist of sorts...i'd FAST for 24 hours to play one of his guitars!

he clearly talks 10 words/second and has a real sense of humor...READ IT!

ROADTRIP mix

made this mixtape for ross' cross country journey. brooklyn was his first stop & i wanted to send him off properly. especially since his cd player just broke. anyway, see if you can find some of these songs...especially 'caravan', the duke ellington version.

strangers. strips.

notebook. photocopy. scan.

speaking of collages...

here's another digitally assembled collage, to celebrate the belated 1 year anniversary of DOORED. it was posted nov. 25th of 2009.

family collage

last month we celebrated my filipino grandparents 55th anniversary. relatives flew from around the country to join in festivities that inevitably involved dancing, musical performances, lots of food and booze, plus several family collages.

this is the final collage that i created on photoshop using some original photos and some sampled photos from two of my father's old collages.

this is a process shot.

these are samples of the collages he created in the mid-90's.

flavorpill fix

well the biggest news in the past four months is that "like sheep in the night" was featured on flavorpill's animation episode that aired online and on local television here in new york city.

you should take 25 minutes to watch the whole thing, because its all pretty badass. mark ronson's new video "circuit breaker" is sick!

as a tribute to our animation, here are some images of the set and process.

okay, that was unacceptable

i apologize to all of my devoted followers {thanks grandma} for putting up with my 4 month hiatus from the blogging world.

well the wait is over...

in the past 4 months i've come to realize that ongoing projects is going to be a kind of therapy for me, a ritualistic visual & auditory offering of myself, my partners in crime, my surroundings and their strangers.

with this effort, i hope to bring you raw, uncut gems amidst a bunch of cyber charcoal.

good luck to me...and i hope you enjoy.

jonas gülstorff

i recently had the pleasure of working with jonas gülstorff on some presskit portraits for the fast-approaching release of his 3'rd album, the last word. jonas, a spoken word artist, is also an accomplished musician, producer and writer from denmark. check out the link above and his myspace.

tribute to my pops

i snagged some negatives from an old dusty box in my parent's attic. most of them are kodak gold from the early 90's. my pops shot the pictures he's not in. ma shot the others. i recently scanned the negatives, made some touch-ups, and printed them as a father's day sentiment. and some of them are published here.

little lady

this is lady madra. about 18 weeks old now.

she's a french bulldog. quite the adventurous type. when she's not sleeping.
