Jose Pereira is one of the pre-war painters who produced genre works during the first quarter of the century. He took up painting at the UP School of Fine Arts from 1923-25. A friend of the art patron Alfonso Ongpin, Pereira was among the staff of the Philippines Free Press and became its chief artist later on, producing a weekly cartoon for the publication, but left due to tuberculosis in 1938. His style is marked by bold washes and dramatic atmosphere, as seen in this 1930 work titled Botocan, with a note to Ongpin.
Pereira’s works are noted to be reminiscent of Fernando Amorsolo’s style, specifically the master artist’s backlighting techniques. However, what sets his works apart from Amorsolo’s pieces is his “sweeter” color palette that reveals his penchant for orange hues mixed with pink. In this work, viewers are led to a simpler time in an idyllic landscape through rich impastos and dazzling colors of nature.

i work at a beauty supply store.
i know nothing about beauty and supplies,
and i absolutely have no interest in beauty or supplies.
but i enjoy working there cos i like to smell fruity shampoos when i get bored.
i also love to act like a professional beauty supply gal.
all i do is wear all black and read out what it says on the back of the bottles.
people seem to believe i know a lot about the products.
it's fun.

Work in progress. Texture paste, paint, stamping and tape. Includes a gel transfer from a large print word search in the background. The birds were all one stamp that I put on tissue paper and cut out. Not sure what to do next on this one but it was fun experimenting with the texture paste and stencil. The idea to stamp on the texture paste came from a youtube video but I forget who's. Another page in my newspaper flyer journal
I've started work on a 'Star Wars' interior set that I've been thinking about for a while, and that I'm pretty sure nobody else has ever built. It's just polystyrene and cardboard and it's quite small, so it will be the only 'permanent' set I've yet built.
In 2000, Riko Narumi made her first appearance on TV at age 7. She has worked steadily in both television and film ever since, and has 24 entries in her filmography, ranging from the drama “Shindo”(2007), where she played a troubled teen piano prodigy, to quirky comedy “Seaside Motel” (2011), in which she became the pouty girlfriend of a degenerate gambler. Narumi, however, has become better known for her mature-for-their-age characters who gaze out at the world with skeptical, mysterious eyes.
In her latest film, Hitoshi Yazaki’s “A Cappella” (“Mubanso”), Narumi plays a Sendai high school girl who is serious and sweetly naive ― an ideal Narumi role. But when I met her in a small rental office in Shibuya to talk about the film, she was ― unlike her introverted adolescent character ― the complete adult professional, if one sniffling from a bad cold. Watching her try to look interested and engaged when she was probably longing for hot tea and a warm futon, I felt all my critical quibbles about the film disappear into the ether.
