I gave another drawing and painting demo at Tenacre Country Day School in Wellesley, Massachusetts this morning. I’m painting a mural there this school year. Thank you to the school’s phenomenal art teachers, Ms. Rosenthal and Ms. Rodriguez.

My sister’s weeklong Boston visit just ended. We’re going to miss her.

We’re having so much fun showing my sister around Boston (The Embrace sculpture).

@ The “In Waves” screening. We love AJ Dungo’s graphic novel and the Boston Asian American Film Festival.

My sister visited one of my mural sites.

Me and my sis @ MIT. Love that fun Frank Gehry building!

FE just got a Filipino American History Month celebration shout out!

The paintings I displayed at the Woburn Public Library.

Wow! So happy that my Woburn Public Library event last night was so well attended. What a talented group of kids and parents! I loved drawing with them. Happy Filipino American History Month!

The super fun and beautifully designed poster for my Woburn Public Library presentation tonight.

Watched “Forgotten Island” again because it’s that good!
