Eleven Bottles of Love



I have been commissioned to make an animation for a marriage proposal.

The story is about writing a love letter for the future partner for eleven years while waiting for the right one. This short film represents one's patience and dedication for his search to find true love. Congratulations to Kellon and Jovy!

"Pictures" by Kate Torralba

It was love at first note when I first heard Kate Torralba's "Pictures". Thanks to a bunch of former co-workers who shared me her music which eventually leads me to connect with her on Twitter.

Now I'm very happy to share you my latest collaboration project - a homemade music video all made with labor of love by music and animation. Hit play and share to support us. I hope you all enjoy

Kate Torralba


Here’s a peek of an early design study of Kate Torralba for her animated music video Pictures.

Her charming personality made it easy for me to design the character, the mood of her music were a big help for the development as well.

Anyway, the video is already playing on MTV Pinoy (I just happen to saw it on TV this morning), online launch is yet to be announce by the rare and talented artist herself.

survival is what motivates her to run fast and not glory."

Les Filles des Manille : Taguig


New year, new week! To get myself productive, I’m starting off an illustration series called, "Les Filles de Manille". I’ve been doing a lot of people watching and sketching but never get to clean up my sketches, so as part of New Year’s Resolution, let’s start with the sporty Taguig Girl. Have a productive week ahead!
