RodDraw Tutorial

by Tutorial

Let’s talk about SVGs (Scalable Vector Graphics). Unlike JPEGs or PNGs, they’re not made of pixels but of paths and shapes. That means you can resize them forever—big or small—without losing sharpness. They’re perfect for logos, icons, and even animations, all while keeping your site light and fast.

Creating SVGs is simpler than it sounds. You can hand-code them with just a few lines of XML, or skip the code and use tools like Adobe Illustrator or free online editors. Either way, it’s a fun way to add crisp, scalable visuals to your work.

And here’s the cool part—every animated drawing on my site was made with RodDraw, an app I built to turn hand sketches into animations. It’s lightweight, scalable, and easy to drop anywhere on a page. If you’re curious, check out the video tutorial below or try it out yourself through the Menu. Happy animating!

Markus the Cat

Markus the Sarcastic Street Cat

by Arts

Meet Markus—a gray tabby with more sarcasm than whiskers. He’s street-smart, proudly a pusakal (street cat), and somehow still a hopeless romantic with eyes on Helga, a classy Siamese living the condo life. It’s basically “opposites attract,” but with fur, attitude, and a lot of alleyway charm.

Markus started as a side project on Instagram, where I paired my sarcastic musings with quick Illustrator graphics. The first sketches came alive in a flea market notebook I found in Shenzhen back in 2012, drawn during coffee breaks and fueled by random Reddit inspiration. Life got busy, the project paused, but now that my site’s back—so is Markus, this time with a dash of animation.

What you’ll see here is just a small taste of his world: snarky drawings, a bit of existential cat humor, and plenty of personality. Think of it as a peek into the almost-book of Markus, the sarcastic street philosopher. Dive in, have a laugh, and if you want to see the full gallery—go to Markus
Horsemen of Time

Horsemen of Time Act One

by Arts

There was a time when I felt swallowed by a creative void—haunted by one theme I couldn’t shake: death. Heavy, yes, but in that darkness, I found a strange kind of spark. Ideas began to crawl out of the shadows, and one question refused to leave me alone: what if death itself walked among us in flesh and form? That became the heartbeat of this project.

This project wouldn’t exist without a dream team of friends. Architect Rembrandt “Von” Espinosa kicked things off with sketches and digital art that gave form to the vision. Raffy Dematawaran painted Act 1 with hauntingly beautiful digital pieces. Then Tommy Sappal came in with colors that set the perfect mood. And me? I wove the story and shaped the characters that tie it all together. Total team magic.

Now I’m thrilled to share Act 1 of our manga comic, Fall From Elysium, republished here on my site. It’s also up on Webtoon—if it resonates, I’d love your support with a vote. This journey has been intense, creative, and so rewarding, and I can’t wait for you to step into the world we built.
