Little I did realize that it has been a year and AJ, an old face painting client, turned a year older. He has grown taller and a bit more of a talker now than he was before (!) I’ve seen old familiar faces, mostly the celebrant’s friends in school and around his neck of the woods. One thing about celebrating birthdays the British way is it wasn’t really fancy. Just a short and simple celebration with a couple of friends dropping by and spending few hours catching up on things. No wailings, no drunk individuals, no lavish feast, no show-offs. In fact, in the many birthdays I attended in my lifetime, this is one of the simplest but the most intimate one.

I’d like to thank AJ’s parents, Nick and Becca, for having us back last Sunday.

I usually do a lot of drawings and paintings before, either for a hobby, de-stressing myself, or a serious assignment. Aside from that are those extended service plan and services I recommend to other people. I can organize parties from family gatherings to concerts, conceptualize themes, mount up an entire production…I mean that’s how restless my mind can be.

If you need help in organizing yours, drop a note.

My first balloon-twisting lesson

balloon-twisting workshoppuppy I was with a group of kids last Sunday for a balloon-twisting lesson. Ralph, the balloon-twist guy, taught us basic animal shapes and other stuff like swords and flowers. Watching him do it was somewhat scary as we didn’t want balloons to pop right before our faces. But somehow the experience turned out to be okay.

There’s my amateur attempt to create a puppy. It took a couple of twists and turns to form one. You can basically form other shapes easily. All you’d need is some dose of creativity and an incredible amount of patience. I think similar virtues apply to every discipline.

I’ll post photos I downloaded from my sd card soon. By the way, if you’re interested to learn how or having one in your party, let me know.

Face painting on Halloween

Kids waiting for their turn

Kids waiting for their turn

My favorite sidekick, Olga, was down with flu so I tagged Hey Jude to accompany me in a face painting gig last week at Bel-Air Village in Makati City. It was my second time to do face painting in Bel-Air in a month. I was glad that my first client there, Becca and her husband Nick, both gracious to us, still has my number and forwarded it to their friend, Maya.

During Bel-Air parties, I did face painting and glitter tattooing both on kids and adults. Most kids would rather have cheek art or a glitter tattoo than have their full face painted. But as an artist, doing a full face paint is far more challenging and exciting. My schedule is free this Halloween. Drop a line or two should you need one.

Here are some photos. Just click on thumbnails to view larger images.
