Envelopes Drying

I just love how I unintentionally captured our electric fan's silhouette over those drying envelopes. Smile.

The Weekend Haul

Art / Craft Stores = Heaven = Empty Wallet - New Shoes + But Hey! New Tools = Happiness

You do the math.

Deovir

Deovir at SM North EDSA 3rd Level Main Bldg

     If it wasn't for the super nice sales person that was assisting my purchases I could've stayed there all day staring and checking over everything they have. I just don't want to bother her with me taking too much time indulging and diving into enviousness on the products they sell. :)

1. Gum Arabic

     I use gum arabic as binder for watercoloring projects. Makes it look less watery and makes it stick well to surface of the paper when drying. I also put few drops of gum arabic inside my ink bottles. I feel like the ink sticks well on the nibs when writing calligraphy.

2. Ruling Pen

     I use ruling pen for making straight lines in my painting projects. I'm practicing to use it for calligraphy since it's one of the ruling pen's main purposes. Will post an embarrassing take on the ruling pen power soon as I've mastered it (mastered?)

3. X-acto Knife

     I love X-acto knive's precise ability to cut. Or is it just my hand?

4. Carving Tools

     Stamps galore! But I think these tools needed more sharpening, they're a little dull for my carving skills.

5. Film Adhesol

     I've been commissioned on a little project with a slight chance of screen printing. This liquid stuff would make a stencilled green film stick to a silk screen. No light transfer needed.

Scribe

    If you're looking for basic calligraphy needs you'll find enough at Scribe. I was looking for an oblique pen holder and they don't have it yet, but they told me they'll gonna have it soon. Nevertheless, they carry the famous Brause nib! Yay! Well, some of it.

Eastwood Mall Level 3

1. Brause Rosefedern Nr. 76

     I really want to learn on how to write with this nib. It's really flexible and light, but I haven't got the hang of using it just yet. 

I already licked the nib (doesn't really sounds nice) to take off the factory coating. Also, I tried heating the tip of it, and I think I burnt it (hehe) but I think it's still working.

Will still practice more for this nib, I just want to learn this so badly!

Ciao!

That Nib

Bought this nib from Joli's ‑ art store slash Disneyland.

I'm not sure what brand or nib kind it is but I'm really liking it. Just started practicing calligraphy again for an upcoming commission. I hope my right hand remembers those college day moves.

I used watercolor for practice and random words in my head and words I hear from the FM radio.

So far here's one of the clean works I've done… so far.

One of my favourite Jeremiah verses

Font inspired by Carolyna Pro.

For more of my not-really-interesting doodles, you can check out my instagram @macclemente. 'Coz someday, you might… somehow, need an amateur calligrapher. Lol.

I used a photo from our Puerto Galera trip. They're rocks.. 'coz I love Rock n' Roll! Get it!? Rock.. awww.. Never mind!

By the way...

 I've been using my old earphones from Apple and borrowing my friend's Sennheiser and I think they're one of the greats already. But I've come to experience a new one! Yehey!

The Cupcake Project

Logo studies for my little sister's small pastry business.

I think that's what she needs. All about her.

But I thought of us three sisters. If maybe her business will do very well and became known for the goodies, I should name it after us three, of course that includes.. ahem.. me.

Dainty... nice touch.

But of course she wouldn't want her spotlight on to us three if all of these are her efforts, right? So I thought of her on this design... alone.

But... She works inside the house, which is a family property. So...

That'll do it.

Sincerely,

Mac Clemente

Inspiring Type Work by Young Jerks

I was browsing for some inspiration for typography and I stumble upon the Young Jerks. Super cool and kick ass talent! I wish I had more free time so I could make wall designs like this:

I love minimal designs with great impact. These artworks are so classy because of the absolute colors.. yet there's a modern twist rendered because of the typeface. Hands down... I just love it.

Those Quotes

I've been on Pinterest for months now... (see? my Pinterest tab right over there -------> ).

These past few days, quotes somehow... gave me wisdom, and answers to things that bothers me big time. A lot of pictures are really good! A lot of them are inspiring. Especially images with quotes on them.

I pinned this photo months ago because this is how I felt.

How romantic...

But not too long...

I can't help myself on pinning this...

 

But amidst all of these negativity, I now enjoy pinning these...

Follow me on Pinterest! :)

Don't Say Goodbye, Say Goodnight

i lie awake and feel your nearness i never wanted more than this
i don't wanna run beneath your tears i don't wanna catch them when they're falling

but it's the same old song

playing over, and over

but now i lie upon my face and though we tried
i guess that's the way it's supposed to be

don't say goodbye say goodnight so it's not over
and if you try and answer why it's just over it's goodbye

i hope to see the dawn of daybreak and the sun rise to cloudless skies

and now i've tried to see the truth but i close my eyes
and you were there for me and i was there for you

don't say goodbye say goodnight so it's not over
and if you try and answer why it's just over it's goodbye

but now i lie upon my face and though we tried
i guess that's the way it's supposed to be

don't say goodbye say goodnight so it's not over
and if you try and answer why it's just over it's goodbye
it's goodbye

Pointless

It should've made its point...

But I guess for some people, they just can't understand. Too late.
