Joe Pass was an American virtuoso jazz guitarist of Sicilian descent. He is generally considered to be one of the greatest jazz guitarists of the 20th century. His extensive use of walking bass lines, melodic counterpoint during improvisation, use of a chord-melody style of playing and outstanding knowledge of chord inversions and progressions opened up new possibilities for the jazz guitar and had a profound influence on later guitarists.

Gising na, gising na, o Miming ko, Ika-una ng buwa'y narito, Bumangon, mag-unat at humayo, Nang 'di mapagiwanan ng Pasko. An earlier attempt at poetry. Hehehe, a poet I surely am not :)
Sa ilalim ng hagdan, Nagtago si Miming ko, Dagang tela ang baong laruan, Nag-unat, naupo, humilata sa libro, Umasta, pumormang makikipaghabulan, Sumilip, sumulyap paruo't parito, Sa ilalim ng hagdan, Bubulaga si Miming ko.

Malapit na. #gicleeprint #illustration #giclee Here's a pre-press proof of the first piece in the limited edition "Meryenda" set. Proofing is probably the most difficult step in producing the print. This pre-press proof is where I decide o n how the colors will look in final printing, taking into consideration the properties of the digital file, the inks and the material the piece will be printed on. At this stage, I have the chance to make adjustments, alterations or to correct mistakes before running the final print. The final print will be made on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl 320 from the Hahnemühle Digital FineArt Collection. Halo-Halo (signed 8"x10" Limited-edition giclee print; #1 in the "Meryenda" set) will be available and released on the last week of October. PM me for inquiries.
Daniel Keyes (August 9, 1927 – June 15, 2014) was an American author well known for his Hugo award-winning short story and Nebula award-winning novel Flowers for Algernon. Keyes was given the Author Emeritus honor by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 2000. The short story and subsequent novel, Flowers for Algernon, is written as progress reports of a mentally disabled man, Charlie, who undergoes experimental surgery and briefly becomes a genius before the effects tragically wear off. The story was initially published in the April 1959 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction and the expanded novel in 1966. The novel has been adapted several times for other media, most prominently as the 1968 film Charly, starring Cliff Robertson (who won an Academy Award for Best Actor) and Claire Bloom. He also won the Hugo Award in 1959 and the Nebula Award in 1966. Daniel Keyes' Flowers For Algernon had such a huge impact on me that one summer
