I’ve been seeing these amazing watercolor fashion illustrations around the internet (and even on posters while walking the streets once upon a time in Europe),  all the while not knowing the name of the artist behind them. I just know it’s from the same person because of their distinct style and use of colors.  It has always been a delight to run into this person’s work wherever I go, and now I’ve found her at last! She is Cate Parr, and I have no idea if I am the last person to know about her, but in any case when I saw her work it was love at first sight!  I love how she seems to take all that is essential in a painting and leaves out the clutter, with the end result being something so simple yet perfect.

My artwork “Hanabi“, is coming out in Manila Bulletin this Saturday Jan 8, Students and Campuses section! Watch for it!

On its 18th year, Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan (Ang I.N.K.) presents its annual exhibit for 2009, entitled “ForeveRENEver,” a tribute to the late children’s writer Rene O. Villanueva, whose literature has showcased I.N.K. illustrators’ works for several decades now.

Ang I.N.K. pays tribute to one of the most celebrated figures in the landscape of Filipino children’s books with a showcase of more than 30 works that bring to life Rene’s never-been-illustrated literature!

Join Ang I.N.K. in honoring the memory of Rene O. Villanueva, and in ensuring that his legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of future generations of Filipino readers.

Opening night is on November 19th, 7:30 pm at the CCP Little Theater Lobby.
