the weekend artist inspiration #12: The Happiness Project

How has your week been so far? Mine has started out stressful at work and with me ending up all day at home the day after sleeping from fever-like symptoms. So here I am still wide awake since I slept almost the whole day in. 

Im currently reading 'The Happiness Project' in my quest to find true happiness though I think I am a fairly happy person I just need to find answers to my life questionsI don't make sense right?!!). One of my life questions is how far do I want to pursue art in my career? Whether I put in more hours to learning? Learning what?

I'm planning to start on my 'Happiness Project' in august so I bought this Little Prince organizer specifically to keep track on my progress.

I started doodling on it already along with some quotes from the book that I don't want to forget. Again another notebook/organizer to add to my growing collection.

Before I end this post I just wanna share to all that Graphika Manila 2012 is here again on August 11, 2012 at the SMX. I am a big fan of digital art since I started my career out in that field. I'm planning to go if my schedule will accommodate it.

the weekend artist series: Paper Art #1: Wedding Invitations Designs

Who doesn't love weddings? I so love them I organize them as a sideline. 

What's funny is I still always get teary-eyed whenever the Dad walks her daughter 

down the aisle, whenever the couple say their vows, 

as well as during the couples first dance!

 So that is what I have been busy with during my time away from my blog 

for almost 2 months now apart from my job.

Actually I was at a family gathering recently when one of my aunts 

asked me about my blog and why I haven't been updating.

I told her that I haven't been working on it because 

I have been too busy with my day job 

and coordinating weddings during my free time.

 I haven't been painting lately or even finish my old projects. 

She suggested that I just share what I have been working on right now.

So here I am sharing a bit of what I am doing 

and for the coming weeks I will keep on sharing more.

Aside from wedding coordinating I have been accepting commission work

 for wedding invitation designs as well for a couple of years already. 

I think my love for paper is evident on why I still keep on accepting invites designing.

With weddings I still get to exercise my creative side from coordinating, 

selecting flowers, wedding gown designs and specially the invitations. 

I would be more than willing to share my experiences about starting a wedding coordinating business of your own here for those who want to ask. 

You can just drop me a note.

(All pictures included here are invites designed by me)

How about you wanna share what's been keeping you busy?

an invitation

Since I started blogging I've been getting invitation to events, places and have lately been turning them down since I've really been busy or it just coincides with dates which I have set plans beforehand. I really feel bad turning invites down since am quite flattered they even invited me in the first place =).

Recently I got invited by Ms Pache Paredes to their event entitled SIGLO. I'm all for supporting young talent most specially CSB students since am quite close to some of them through my work mentorship program. See more details below...
