+Midnight Masquerade+

Mon Apr 13, 2009, 5:00 AM
First things first: My sincerest apologies to new watchers, :+fav:s and comments I have failed to thank, and most especially for the lack of new material. I haven't been logging in to DA much.

Having started on a mission to finish more than 20 paintings for my major solo exhibit, I have been living as a "semi-hermit" for about 2 months now. I've always had this notion that artists would occasionally disappear for a certain span of time only to come back with a fresh new batch of works for the whole world to see, but I've never thought that such would happen to me. I still am exerting effort not to live under a rock even if the thought of doing that just to finish my exhibit pieces is quite tempting.

And because I still am not half-way through with the pieces, I shall be on a much longer hiatus. I will try my best to squeeze in small paintings, illustrations, and photographs throughout the course of this "hibernation."

Other than preparations for my exhibit, one other thing has been keeping me busy lately -- my online mask shop called Midnight Masquerade. Here's a little description taken from my site:

"All of my masks are hand-crafted of papier-mâché and hand-painted meticulously by yours truly. Note that no two masks are alike and each mask design is unique because all of my mask creations are custom-made especially for the client and for the occasion she/he shall be using it.

My range includes half-masks, full-faced masks, and the recently included gatto masks (cat masks). And whether your choice is a simple one with minimal rhinestones and hand-painted details or an elaborate one lavishly adorned with jewels, feathers, plumes, and flowers, Midnight Masquerade guarantees sheer elegance and that all of its masks are made from quality materials, may it be for masquerade-themed parties/balls or for decorative wall displays."


So there. Go have a look! And with that, I'll end this journal entry.

---------------------

OBLIGATORY REMINDERS:
1. I am accepting commissions and collaborations.
2. No part/s of my works may be copied and/or translated into other art pieces without my WRITTEN consent. I greatly detest art theft.
3. Should you wish to use any of my works for a certain purpose, drop me a note.
