Design is my Demon

One of the reasons I love illustrating is that I have freedom to put my characters in couture and sometimes with designer furniture.

Here are some recent and not-so-recent illustrations in couture.

"Hotel Balcony" (Look Magazine) Lanvin Resort 2011

Pepe and Lulu" (Town & Country Philippines) Bea Valdes

"Buddies" (Look Magazine) Prada Spring Summer 2011

"Dianne" (Look Magazine) Diane von Furstenberg-inspired wrap

"Belabeled" (Unpublished)

This month makes the count 100 published illustrations, the 100th being in the latest issue of Town & Country Philippines.

Though this number spans for a couple of years and some illustrators do more in a shorter period, I am grateful for someone who is largely self-taught.

Here are some of my personal favorites.

"Son of Juan" For a Social graces article in Town & Country on the men's dress code in the Philippines

"Baggage"

"Entitlement Road"

"Leashed" For an article in Look magazine on coping with lupus

"Lita"

Thanks to all the key people and publications who helped make this possible:

Town & Country Philippines, Look, Meg, Chalk, The Philippine Daily inquirer, and the first publications which ran my illustrations, Preview and the Manila Bulletin.

Cheers!
