Morro Bay

1587
The Spanish galleon, Nuestra Senora de Buena Esperanza, captained by Pedro de Unamuno, anchored off the coast of present day Morro Bay, California, on Sunday, October 18, 1587. Filipinos (Luzones Indios) were among the crewmembers. Several Filipinos were sent to scout the shore. On October 20, during a skirmish with local Indians, one Filipino was killed. The galleon departed on October 22. ------From Capt. Unanumo's handwritten journal, chronicled by Henry R. Wagner in "Spanish Voyages to the Northwest Coast of America in the Sixteenth Century," published in 1929 by the California Historical Society in San Francisco.

Penny Hollow

It has been a while since I worked on this, but I figured it deserved some time on the blog. I worked closely with Bully! Entertainment in Baltimore to create this kids site. I did the character design as well as the website design. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to animate my characters... this was right before my Philippines trip! I am still pleased with how it came out.

Come on down to Penny Hollow...

Another Simple Fisherman

Still trying to play with a style to do an even smaller short than TAMTF.

Santo Nino

I made a couple of updates to the illustration. I wanted to use a texture pattern on the cape.

Balut Boy

I wanted to do an illustration of the Balut vendor that would normally walk the streets of the Philippines. I remember when I did my semester in the Philippines young boys selling it screaming,"Baaluuuuut!"

They always had customers!
