One aspect of life constantly changing is fashion. Not just because of its root word, I guess a whole lot of you would agree that fashion would best represent this week’s Illustration Friday theme “Old-fashioned”.
I accidentally messed up the ink here. I always tend to forget to keep avoiding the wet ink. Here it is anyway.

Acrobat is this week’s Illustration Friday theme. Here’s an acrobat act known as Aerial Silk/s. Artists perform Aerial Silk/s stunts using a hanging fabric.

Since faces look strange upside down, I'm including an inverted version
Here are several videos of Aerial Silks acts.
Here’s my second submission for Illustration Friday. This week’s theme is “Dessert”. Cupcake, anyone?

I was supposed to submit this for Illustration Friday’s “Immovable” topic. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to upload it last Thursday. I have to make sure I get to submit on time next week. Here it is anyway. This particular scene shows true friendship as immovable.

There are only two seasons in a tropical country like the Philippines, the dry season and the wet season. I’m loving the cold weather lately. It’s a lot harder to wake up on days like these. The rainy season would be over soon, so I better enjoy it!
Dip pen holders, Pen nibs, India ink
By the way, I visited the art store last weekend and purchased dip pens and a bottle of India ink. I’m enjoying using them so far for my ink works. It’s quite difficult though to use them at first. Having these new tools makes me think of learning Calligraphy. I’ll find time for that. In the meantime, here’s what I’ve done for the week.
