August
August 20, 2010 · by Robbie Filed under Announcement
I’m going on a “creative retreat” for the rest of August where I will just draw and write stuff and maybe experience the world outside of my room a little.
I will be back in September with more tutorials, articles, contests, reviews and a new series of comic strips! Until then, goodbye Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, YM, DeviantArt, and to this blog.
If you need to get in touch with me, I will still check my e-mail every morning. =)
35mm
35mm is a shortfilm about cinema itself. The artists/designers picked 35 of our favorite movies and tried to simplifly them as far as possible. The outcome is a 2 minute journey through the history of film.
Can you name all of the movies featured? I wasn’t familiar with a lot of them but I could see Titanic, Jaws, Fight Club, Toy Story, Star Wars, Snow White, Psycho, Devil Wears Prada, Wizard of Oz, and Nosferatu.
Escolta: Film Journal launch
Louella invited me to the launch of their project, Escolta Film Journal, at the Green Papaya Art Projects yesterday. This was their sort of culminating project in the Alexis Tioseco Internship Program and the magazine serves as some sort of tribute to the late Alexis Tioseco, a renowned film critic who was murdered September 9 of last year.
Dean and myself came to support our friend and got ourselves lost looking for the venue which didn’t look like a place where ANYTHING happens. Apparently, it’s this well-known place where indie artsy-fartsy people go to watch indies and expe films and listen to indie musicians. We were going up and down Tomas Morato and Kamuning for about an hour before we finally found the place, mostly my fault because I kept guessing where it is and Dean kept following my directions. Hahaha.
Lesson learned: ask the locals for directions. Duh. Turns out we already passed by the place, which looked like a rundown house hidden among trees and other bungalow establishments.

I’ve been drawing a lot the past few weeks, which is good. In fact, it’s the only thing I do whenever I’m stuck at home since I don’t have any freelance work right now. This is really the perfect opportunity to get in touch with my creative juices after a long time of hiatus.
The illustration above is inspired from The Little Prince. It really has a bit of sentimental value to me and the characters there symbolizes some people in my life before. Anyhoo, cheesy mode over. It’s the third piece I’m doing for the exhibit, 21 more to go! Sheesh. At this rate baka umabot na next year yung exhibit. Hahaha.
I hate you McDonald’s
Dear Mcdonald’s PH,
I have always loved you ever since you came up with your Double Cheeseburger Deluxe burger. It was the only burger that I’ve ever truly loved because I no longer had to open up the bun to take out the pickles, onions, and ketchup because I hated those. It gave you that edge over the local Jollibee, at least in my book. Your Double Deluxe was perfection, and I couldn’t care less if it’s unhealthy, I would order it everyday if I could. So this brings me to a simple question:
Why did you phase it out?!?!?!?!?!? WHY?!?!?!?!? Huway?!?!?!?! BAKHEEEETTT?!?!?! =(
Making a Creative Resume
One of the first things a fresh graduate has to do is make an outstanding resume. There are countless templates and tutorials out there on how to make the perfect corporate resume with so many rules on how to make sure you pass the standards of companies in general. But since then I was never really satisfied with any of them for one simple reason. No matter how many times I revised and updated it, it did not represent me at all.
The sort-of-perks of being in the creative industry is that we don’t even have to do everything by the book. One good example is being able to play around with the layout of our resumes and get away with it. Now I’ve seen a bunch of really cool resumes on the internet and I wanted to make one myself. In fact, every time I apply for a new job I see to it that I change the look as I update the information, which usually takes me a couple of days to do. The example above is what I submitted for my previous work, but recently, I decided to take a few steps further without making it seem too out there.
Community rocks!
Community is a relatively new TV comedy series that debuted last September 2009 and I was only able to watch the entire first season in 2 days last week! And you know what? It’s hands down one of the funniest things I’ve seen on T.V. in a looooong time. Well, granted I stopped watching T.V. 3 years ago and have resorted to watching them online, but you get my point.
Out of curiosity, I watched a few scenes from the series on YouTube and was impressed enough to download the first two episodes to check if it’s entertaining. I ended up watching the entire season in 2 days! The comedy is so fresh and random, just the way I like it. Way to go Dan Harmon!
