East of Here and West of There

Tears In Rain. Inspired by Roy Batty's monologue in Blade Runner. Available as a t-shirt at East of Here and West of There.

Who's To Doom? Inspired by Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick Or the white Whale. Available as a t-shirt at East of Here and West of There. "Who's to doom, when the judge himself is dragged to the bar?" Ahab's words are a blasphemous condemnation of God as an unjust creator and his war on the whale is a war against mortality and against God and for God.

Flowrs. Tshirt design inspired by Flowers For Algernon, a science fiction short story and subsequent novel written by Daniel Keyes. The short story, written in 1958 and first published in the April 1959 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1960. The novel was published in 1966 and was joint winner of that year's Nebula Award for Best Novel.

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.
