ahhh the sweet abandon, the comforting embrace of water on a starry night

A man came by the studio gates and rang the bell. Will you help me? He asked, My house has burned down. I gave him a few and he said we will be blessed.

What struck me most about him was the dog that he held up with his arm. It sat without moving, only staring. Its fur white as cotton and eyes dark as the abyss.

The Manila Bulletin ran a feature on hotelier and wine connoisseur Manny Osmeña and Johanna got the chance to shoot his portraits. Thank you Em P. Guevara.

We will be shipping “Secrets” across the world to California for the Society of Illustrators exhibit at ICON 6 (the 6th Biennial Global Illustrators Conference).

Thank you Society of Illustrators – L.A. for giving Johanna the chance to exhibit. It’s not very often that we get the chance to show work in America. If you want to go see the show, the exhibit will be at the Wentworth Room of the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, California. It opens on July 13 and will run through July 17.
