Update: Lucky this week's Illustration Friday's theme is Dreams. This drawing was originally done for Everday Matters drawing group... incorporating multiple challenges into a dream-like scene.
Update: Thanks for the comments! Here is a closer look as some requested in the comments.

It is very difficult to come up with subjects to draw these days...

24" x 30" Oil on canvas
(updated 03/24/2006) Submitted for I-FRI's theme monster.
I've been working on this for a long time, still needs to be touched up but I'm going to take a break and work on something else.
Clara is smart, intelligent, hardworking, honest, and all the positive traits that one could have; but she is miserable somehow because there is this devil that makes all these nothing... They claim she is free and yet she feels controlled. If Clara is a place... it is a place where something evil - power, money, status quo rules the land.

Building a Gallery

I'm slowly putting up works in the gallery (or portfolio). Most of the works already appeared in this blog except they are only 'selected' few and image files have larger dimensions. I'm still contemplating on whether to make it an external site or incorporaate the gallery in this blog; but the main goal of the site would still be to efficiently browse images without digging through the archives. Still a lot more design and development time needed.

For the past three nights, I've been working on updating the image viewer for this site. Inspired by Rebel Pixel's iPAP , I'm trying to implement a Java-based one.
So far what I currently have is a hack (just make it to work regardless how ugly the code).
Some technical notes. As mentioned, it is a Java-based implementation where the goal is to make an easy way to set up a gallery site - image files are uploaded to a specific directory and the tool is suppose to work. I used the code for the image viewer that I have and made it more flexible and fail-safe (should work even without captions and index files): i.e. Spring 2005(old) and Spring 2005(new). The image captions are stored in an xml file, loaded into http session using JDOM.
For page layout, I used tables... :-). Just kidding.
More work. I'm also thinking of the possibility of creating a custom tag (you can create your own tags in jsp) for this image viewer so it would be easy for other Java developers to use. I'm just starting to get back into coding, building pieces to finally update this site both on server and client side.

This happened many times studying my software development books. :-)
My five year old son saw me drawing this and said... "It's fun sleeping in the bookstore."

30" x 36" Acryllic on Canvas
I finished this couple weeks ago. It is already hanging in my parents house. I tried to find the reference photo that I used to draw the "Kubo" (hut), searched for it all over, I could not find any photo of it anymore.
This was actually a real "Kubo" when I was growing up in the Philippines, exactly the way it looks in the painting. There was a "papag" (bamboo bed) in the back where I used to take a nap in the afternoon and read 'komiks'. We had lots of native fruit plants in the lot - kalamansi, bayabas, manggo, duhat, guyabano, langka, and papaya.
The kubo was torn down long time ago, no more plants in the lot, even my uncle who designed the kubo already passed away.

Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours. - Dale Carnegie
Updated (8-5-2005): I just thought this might work for Illustration Friday's theme for this week "Empty". Being bored with life portrays emptiness...

I found a quote for this drawing:
Plants are the young of the world, vessels of health and vigor; but they grope ever upward towards consciousness; the trees are imperfect men, and seem to bemoan their imprisonment, rooted in the ground. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Also, I submitted this for Everyday Matters Challenge #15 - "Draw a tree or trees, leaves or branches"
This sketch is based on earlier sketch I did.

For Everyday Matters Drawing Group challenge #26 - Draw Something...(or a Vegetable)
I know tomatoes are fruits :-) but these so happen to be our first harvest this summer. Sounds like we have a farm but actually just two tomato plant in our front yard :-). Kinda a house tradition to plant something during summer (like last year).
As for Everyday Matters, it is been good so far because it gives me a reason to draw from life.
