I am not an artist.

Miscellaneous storyboards from my old screenplays that served as great practice and helped me develop my voice and visions.

It was Fil-Am month during my junior year of high school, and for the first time, I heard someone say they were Filipino on TV— so I stippled him. Mabuhay!

A storyboard side-by-side from a scene (that has sadly been scrapped for the betterment of the plot) from my screenplay Porches.

My Lola was a renowned florist. These are her flowers that I have grown up with.

Zendaya. My first one-line drawing. How I discovered my love for scribbles and color-blocking.

Another junior year piece. Loved drawing details, so I spent three classes on them. Hated drawing skin, so I refused to spend more than thirty minutes on it. In hindsight, I should have committed to it. But forget I said that and pretend the patchiness is an artistic choice!

A test at textured painting and a frantic explanation of synesthesia. Raul Esparza, thank you for your voice.

Taika Waititi stars in an experimentation with digital sketches!

Tattoo for a friend. Meep meep!

I saw a photo of this guy somewhere and thought he looked like a work of art, so I made him one.

This product of boredom and a love for the idiosyncrasies of people would blossom into one of my favorite series of art.

I hate fancy restaurants because they have fancy, cloth napkins and a fancy, dark ambiance that is both very hard to draw on and in. Also, they are mostly steak.

I do not like steak.

Visited New York to turn 19 and got mad compliments on my t-shirt. It was Woody Harrelson’s mugshot. And this is my self-portrait!

I love rocks. They are very shiny, very colorful, and very nice to look at. I got my favorite rock when I was seventeen, and when it catches light, it makes rainbows! It was so beautiful that I had to paint it!

A quick, floral take on the Filipino araw!

A cover I made for one of my scribble stacks!

A couple things to know about me: 1) My dad is Asian. 2) I really look up to Jason Bateman! Imagine my surprise when I got to set and saw they walked the same. It gave me a good, little laugh, and I thought I’d preserve the moment with a silly scribble. This is what got me started on taking NDA-safe pictures: making them!

On the way to HMU!

One of the greatest moments of my life was being given a notebook as a prop (and then the AD saying, yes, draw in it). Shoutout Lance, your energy was infectious!

Good sleep, Kevin!

Right before I drew his name, I thought, “Hm, what if I misspell it?” Then, I thought, “Nah, I can’t misspell it!” I misspelled it. Sorry, Wyll :(

A show-stopping moment to witness the process of.

“Draw me.”

“Pose.”

Shoutout to Max— he let me borrow his pen when two of mine (including my favorite one) died. Thanks, Max!

Nine months prior to this, I was moshing to Tyler, the Creator in the same venue. I never thought I’d be back. Life is so funny!

A rare moment where holding was elevated over set. The cast and crew looked like cute, little ants! We were about to go down, so I had to move quick if I wanted to capture the buggy, little moment!

This man (I later learned his name was Dustin) was WORKING! And being so cool about it. Had to sketch.

The smoothest, most stylish skater at this shoot. I didn’t know we’d have to roller-skate until we were told, “Ten minutes until skates on.” Reader, I cannot roller-skate. I mean, I CANNOT roller-skate. But Vonte was not only totally cool, but totally kind, and he gave me some tips to get on my feet. Thank you, Vonte!

She was a BADDIE (and so sweet too)!

Just a fun moment to watch, featuring the coolest girls at a dope location!

BRO WAS A BREAKDANCING MAGICIAN (LIKE, HE DID ACTUAL DISAPPEARING TRICKS)

Thank you to the awesome crew who liked my scribbles and let me hang around in important places to do more. Y’all were the best!

This guy showed up, checked a text, got drawn, and then disappeared for eight hours. At first, I thought I imagined him. But then I saw him right as we wrapped, and he got his drawing! Yay!

Made taking a phone call look cool as hell.

A nap so cozy it deserved documentation. Thanks for being such a good sport, Zion— you were dope!

So serene, I sketched her nameless. So lovely that once I learned it, I had to make sure never to forget it! It’s Joy, of course!

The grooviest guys, who I later learned are called A Major.

The most scenic set up for a wide. Blistering sun, but stellar bliss!

I wish I could give you context! But I just thought the framing was nice and deserved to be remembered!

Had to be quick with the ink! The moment had passed before I could blink! She pumped her fists as hundreds clapped, what a lovely, lovely moment.

Dancing in the rain behind the sickest band. Mike, your profile was unbelievably cool. Thanks for letting me draw it; it was so awesome meeting you!

Latest scribble stack cover!

A warm-up scribble of two-thirds of a cute conversation! Calei and Akira— the coolest, the sweetest!

On the other side of the couch!

Something I would have taken my film camera out for, but that wasn’t an option!

Two good shirts under two good heads of hair, framing two good actors!

Stuuuuuuuuff. I dunno. It reminded me of the set of my favorite theatrical performance, the one that made me be an actor again.

Jason. Stunting on everybody with this costume.

One for my mental Scribbles Hall-of-Fame!

I just loved everything about the sign :) The shapes, fonts, way it hugged a painted-on pole, the threads that danced in the wind on a beautiful, beautiful day. It was neat!

Just an interesting view :)!

THA SYMMETRY!

Cool walkin’ !

Cozy street corner view!
