Motherhood illustrations

Since motherhood has taken over my life, i can't help making an illustrated version of my my daily adventures. I haven't done a lot, i wish i could put all my experiences and misadventures into a comic strip but then again i wish i could do many things since my hands are always tied and my time is not mine anymore.

LET ME DO MY BROW, SON! | 2015

As much as i prioritize my child, i can't let my brow game get the back seat. It's the most that i could do for myself including taking a quick shower and keeping myself sane. Never mind all the mess around the house, dirty diapers lying around, dirty clothes piling up and of course, running late for work-- kilay is still life! :D

CAN MAMA CONTOUR HER FACE FIRST? | 2016

Shortly after my first child, the second baby came along and my makeup game has also upped its ante-- this time i was into contouring! Hah! With two babies, i really tried to squeeze in this part of my routine which was a bit hard. Although this time we already have a nanny but having two babies and at the time I was working, it was still a mess. But i do my best to get that 'time for myself'--and contouring was lifer!

ME AND THE BOYS WHEN GOING OUT | 2017

It's 2017 when we moved to Bahrain and we we're nannyless- life started to become a bit more challenging than usual. My boys were becoming toddlers and hyperactive. I could not have imagined myself being where I am now, but hey that's life! One of the things that i am proud of myself is going out alone with the kids, they can be a handful and i am able to keep myself sane and calm but i'm actually dying inside! But once i am able to strap them in the car going home and everyone is in one piece then my day is done.

Motherhood will always bring me ups and downs, more subject to draw and more reason to do what i do. It's fun, it's exhilarating and most times exhausting that's why i need more coffee!

THANKS!

I'M BACK!

SOOOOOO.... it's been forever since my last post and a lot of things have happened and changed. This is not going to be a lengthy post, just a little welcome back for myself. It feels like riding a bicycle again after a while, picking up my balance, rediscovering the old stuff, things like that. I hope I still have some readers around here.

Wonder Mama

SO i'm a mother of two toddlers now and a full-time stay-at-home mom. I accept freelance project when I can, because I don't really have so much time. But I still do the stuff I love to do. I will probably post some photos of my kids (if I can't help it)! hehe 

I will be posting some of my old projects from the newspaper and some stuff that I have been doing. Not a lot but I'm hoping to be more productive this year.

Welcome back to my blog guys... whoever is reading this now! 

THANKS!

The Saga: Mayweather Jr. Vs Pacquiao

 May 2, 2015 THE DAY! The Mayweather and Pacquaio fight of the century, i cannot miss this fight and of course we at the newspaper cannot let this pass without a hype. My Chris Ware-inspired page is the first to come out in the series of graphics that Times of Oman is going to publish. 

If you are unfamiliar with the drama behind this fight, I hope this graphic can enlighten you to the soap-opera-like of boxing. One of the reason why this is a match to watch is because it  has been dragging for years with a lot of bickering, drama and suspense for both parties. It's about time this should already happen.

This comic type graphic is a timeline of the prolonged boxing negotiations. 

It all started in 2007

2009

 2009-2010

 2010-2015

Pacquaio, Mayweather and The Great Mills Lane

The people behind the two superstars

These people are the ones  who ought to be credited for making this fight a reality. They are as important as the two superstars from the marketing hand to the boxer's trainers.

Did I miss out on anything?? Let me know. :)

THANKS!
