Hi! It's almost the end of July and the month has been great so far.
A lot has been happening, first off is I have revamped my website
separating my Illustration works from my Ceramics
(links also available at this blog's top nav bar)
Second is National Children's Book Day last July 16
which was held at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
(I'm into this bad habit of not taking good pictures at special events)
Culminating activities include the awarding of PBBY Salanga and Alcala winners.
A big congratulations to fellow InKie, Domz Agsaway for winning the Alcala prize!
New titles for 2013 were also released.
There was a post-event book launching of the children's book EDSA
written by Russel Molina and illustrated by Sergio Bumatay III
under Adarna House
I also bought copies of my friend Jamie Bauza's book
Sandwich to the Moon (her original story) and another story she illustrated Photo Album
A lot of other INK members also released their titles (I have one too) so I'm really happy for the group!
The Ang INK's Sawikain Exhibit was also moved to the CCP!

In other news: I am back to taking pottery lessons at UP with guest facilitator, Pete Cortes.
I just want to share that Pete was my first teacher in ceramics
circa 2008 at the Pettyjohn Workshop at Glorietta 4!
My distorted Japanese-style tea set (side-handle of the teapot obscured from view) made off the hump
Also this weekend, my friends and I joined our very first craft fair at 10A Alabama as Speculiars!
It was a fun event big thanks to friends and new friends who supported our products

Ending the post with some personal reads for the month:
Shopclass as Soulcraft by M. Crawford (stil undecided what to feel about this book)
Two books by Nabokov: Original of Laura (I love the format!) and Glory
Museum of Innocence by Orhan Pamuk (I didn't finish it!)
and Life with Clay by Nelfa Querubin :)
I'm looking for new titles to read so if you have any suggestions, feel free to comment!
