I'll be blog-scarce for a few weeks. Not sure when I'll be back. To those who've made this page an occasional segment of their internet surfing time, thanks for reading and commenting, and for all the support. Until whenever. Take care all!

I’m done with all of the new art for the Zaturnnah compilation, and next up is the book design for Siglo. With the extra time on my hands, I could go back to working out more regularly and implement my diet plan. I miss getting hurt. Grave Thoughts After Linden suites, I taxied home to drop off loose baggage and joined my brother, his wife and son to Loyola – Marikina to visit daddy and gran-paw. We got to the cemetery at around three in the afternoon and stayed till around nine in the evening.
