Jacques of Hearts

Looking at Arlene Sy‘s work made me block off my schedule some quiet, watercolor time for this week before things get too tight. Busy-ness is in the horizon, and although I’m very very very excited, I want to make sure I do the things I wanted to do as a sorta-bum before I end that phase. The last time I sat on my bedroom floor and started painting, I came up with these heart bookmarks, which eventually ended up in notebook designs for KartON.

Collection de Coeurs

And this entry is more of an announcement to myself that being busy is merely a convenient excuse for not painting. This is something I keep telling myself (and other people who insist they don’t have time to go through the books they stacked up to read, start the sideline they want to explore, cook the new recipe they want to eat, etcetera etcetera): if you have time to Facebook, you have time to pursue your (side) passion. It doesn’t always have to be one-time-big-time, just put a little time and effort to keep it going. Better small steps than none at all :)  So here’s to more little watercolor bookmarks to come!

  1. Ugh, Kim. You make me want to look for a productive habit! You also make me wish I could paint, design, etc etc. Wala talaga eh. HAHA.

    Also, how are you! Catch up soon! :)

    • Oh, the same way I wish I could pull off that effortless-chic-look you do? HAHA.
      Yes dinner soon! Save next Friday, the Despicable Me group + Raymond dinner in this new burger joint in Ortigas!
