Quick thumbnails or more serious sketches were a carry-over of college discipline. This I do before I undertake a painting either with acrylics or oils or even just for pastel compositions. This is the reason why I have accumulated a lot of sketches which I kept in my wooden cabinet, an inheritance from my mother who fancied old style pieces of furniture . . only to realize in the end, that these sketches prove to be the art pieces I now hold dear. Now, I know, it is in these sketches that my thoughts are visualized with such immediacy. I thank my wife, Lorna for taking care of them and even got them all framed.

Upon my Dad's suggestion to tour the Philippines in place of creating artworks having noticed that I was already a workoholic, I finally gave in and dropped my tools to go on a long journey hopping from one island to another of the 7 thousand plus islands in the Philippines. When I arrived at the mountain provinces up north, I could not believe to have found myself in a beautiful place named "Sagada". I fell in love with the place and its weather and spent a few months there. Not having any art materials with me to do some sketches, initially I was able to extract black charcoal from used batteries I found along the road that may have been thrown away by transistor radio users. Did a few sketches with it and any available scratch paper but finally met with another artist who was making his own cogon-abaca paper, grass materials that were readily available in Sagada. The result of this meeting with Louie Stewart are these cogon-abaca drawings series which papers I even brought to Germany and Spain to continue sketching their respective landscapes.

Not so much of what I imagine a "cosmic-scape" could be, but more on the possibilities of what any drawing tool can lead me to, e.g.: a quick mathematical progression from small to large doodle can make a futuristic-scape exhibiting a foreground, middle-ground and a background. These pencil-pastel sketches are the result of this creative thought and of course, its variations.

Spiritual landscapes that continue to haunt and revisit me, both awake and in my dreams, better expressed on large-format canvases to lessen or shorten this, seemingly, never ending journey, leading me to my Maker.

A series of "Nudescapes" I worked on for about a year in a collage manner fusing both the digital and the analog approaches. Although really involved in this particular creative process, I always had behind my mind to do this in a bigger scale but failed to, simply because I couldn't stop exhausting the possibilities of what that "collage and drawing approach" could offer. Created artworks onwards but opted to do bigger oils on canvas until the year 2007. What I overlooked to do is still at the back of my mind up to the present time. Who knows, maybe one day I can still unload this particular expression in a bigger scale which I have always imagined to be a fun thing to do. The "Nudescape" series collection is still with me. I have had no interest in having any solo exhibition nor participate in any art exhibition and, I guess, this is still true 'til the present time. At present, I am still enjoying my particular creative process and have been selling a few works enough to keep me and my family going, expressing my brand of art in its minimum.
