THE CRYING CLUB flyer for @theflyinglugaw ๐ท๏ธ๐ฉธ
experimented with photo manip and blew diluted ink on watercolor paper for analog tear-streaked elements
fever dream color studies
poster illo that didnโt push thru for a gig last year. revised it by tracing onto the old drawing and just did patchwork editing digitally. the ballpoint pen texture remains crisp :)
when i think about april, i think about flowers :)
found a random calligraphy brush pack in my files last week and itโs gonna be my summer obsession ๐งโโ๏ธ the ribbons i could draw with the brushes is making me crazy !!!!! couldnโt help but incorporate an element of it into the letters too
also, flipping that B to become a P was fun
custom type for @jennypjavier โs single, Pacific ๐๐ค
iโve been learning a couple of new interesting things as i collaborate with jenny on some customs :โ) for this track, a notable thing she wanted the type to express was a quality of sadness. to me, sadness meant serifs and scripts, but to jenny, it meant words that looked loose
i have a habit of drawing my letterforms too tightly in generalโperhaps it reflects my personality that likes to ascertain. so for this work, it was a โleapโ for me to draw the letters as minimally structured or joint where strokes usually meet.
another cool challenge i experienced was choosing between proper case or upper case for this work, with consideration to its repeating letters. the word โPACIFICโ repeated two sets of letters, and repeating letters particularly make the flow of the wordโs structure more obvious to me. really steered clear from going full uppercase because letters I-F-I stuck out like a sore thumb being so damn angular smack in the middle ๐ญ kinda stressed me out drawing a study for it, i gave up in the middle lol (yall can probably see that in the studies slide)
anyway yea just wanted to share these ๐ญ and funny enough now its the i-f-i ligature that looks sexiest to me in the final work ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ I Love U Lettersโฆโค๏ธ
background photo is a tiny edit of elyuโs sunset i took a week ago
(thanks again to jenny for tapping me!!! iโm so excited to share with yโall what else we got cookingโฆ AND STREAM HER BEAAUUUuuuTIFUL SONGS)

8. divajule lettered our names on her gifts for us ~
hello enero ๐ happy new year fellas ๐๐ค
lettered by hand with sumi ink (? ang sabi sa shopee.. XD) then adjusted digitally. did an overlay on a footage i took in november just to test things out, new explorations ~
some comments from friends:
(1) lesly agrees that the first study kinda reads as โEnerโ, so i made a new one with an O that looks more distinctly separate. still badly wanted to retain the swirl though haha
(2) for geline, the first study kerning is better, โneโ ligatures on both look coolโฆ she said she likes that the first version looks like an abstract figure, something you can stare at. i did quite like the second one better
(3) Shrek? ๐ญ ang sabi ni aina HAHAHA. mukha raw kasing S yung letter E ng second study because of how itโs curved
hoping we all enjoy this 2025โฆ frankly iโve never been this excited welcoming a new year. i hope you are too
custom lettering for my juniorsโ capstone thesis film: Fruition of Love (@fruitionoflove )โa short film that explores life after loss and time as a symptom of love ๐ค
congrats and huge thanks for allowing me to be a part of this project ๐ฅน @sapokanikans@_lunarivera@marinafilart
the lettering is anchored to one of the filmโs motifs that is foliage, and references my usual style of script lettering which always feels meditative to do.
i was also given the opportunity to design the short filmโs official poster, as well as the title cards! the poster background is a collage of lilies (grief) and two glasses (the widower and his late wife), finished with a digital emulation of cyanotype printing to play around again with the other visual motifs of light and shadow.
lastly, i didnโt know iโd enjoy typesetting this much for film credits until i did this project hehe. thanks again girls for having me ๐ค
