Black Bile is my first solo art show. Along with the exhibit is the release of a collab shirt (limited to 50!) with THE clothing. Art, shirts, and booze at the venue. I’d appreciate it if you shared/tweeted about this show. Thank you! Also, check out my BLOG to see a few previews / WIPs with regards to the paintings.
Happy 4/20, everyone. My Sushi Break design is currently “Shirt Of The Day” over at DBH. Something different from my regular work. So glad Design By Humans printed this design I did a couple of months ago. Buy HERE
I have been planning on a solo art exhibit for a long time now, but I was unsure about the direction I wanted to take. It hasn’t been a year since I started doing freelance illustration as a profession. But in that amount of time I have learned so much about the global art scene, greatly developed my technique, realized what genre of art I am willing to commit myself to, and more importantly, gained new friends.
I’ve decided to create a series of paintings that are closer to my digital illustrations in theme and in technique. I am aiming for poetic, but with gore/horror undertones, and Death Metal cues. I have no concrete thesis yet, and there is a lot to be thought of. I painted on of my favorite icons (the Witch, originally by Godmachine), to test if this works for me, and also to kiss some hairy Welsh ass haha. If you own a few of GM’s shirts, then you’ll easily recognize the icon.
HUGE thanks to a great friend, and mentor, Godmachine, for allowing me to paint this character/icon of his (The Witch), and for lending his beautiful voice/music for the video (see below). Haha.
It was real fun drawing and coloring this. It’s a gig poster for “Demonika’s Symphony of Horrors 5: Orgy of the Undead”. Sexeh!!! Splats and Textures are by fellow artist and friend, Godmachine. Go buy his Art Pack, I highly recommend it. Link to his store here.
It’s been a while since I painted on the streets. I did this one as a favor for someone who was doing a video documentary of the street art scene of the city (Cebu). Didn’t quite like how this one started, as it was raining during the time I painted, but it turned out pretty cool. Took me just an hour to do, since it was raining and I had to hurry.
I just discovered that one of my old art professors in college wrote about me & this site in his weekly column in the paper. Read it here:

Thank you, sir Raymund!
