For years now, they have been called out multiple times by minority groups for not giving opportunities to these groups or for not acknowledging their works. And it looks like someone is finally listening. Star Wars, one of … Continue reading The Rogue Film On Diversity

Close your eyes and hear their whispers in the night. . This is the result from watching a quick online tutorial on digital painting. I need more practice but for now, just like the lady in my painting I will have to be content with this wee progress ♥️ . #azizacreates #illustration #illustratorsofinstagram #childrensillustration #illustrator #painting #drawing #digitalpainting #pinayartist #filipina #helloink #storytime #storytelling #digitalpainting #art #pinay #seni #jakartaillustrator #plants #green #floral

"Book of Life" by Aziza Zaldarriaga Sadain . I fidget in my seat, aware of the pair of eyes fixated on me. "I have only let a few others to open and read the pages of my story. There is really nothing in it that will be remotely interesting to you," said I. . "That should be up to me to decide," says the man with a notebook and recorder. . Reluctant, but suspicious of his persistence, I finally relent--for a little. "Well, unless you're the kind who feels... deeply," said I. . "And if I am? What am I to discover in your story?" asks the man. . "That, although, life has been good to me there is always this deep lingering feeling that maybe..." . "Maybe, what?" . "Maybe, life, all of this is all in vain." . "This must make you sad all the time, then." . "Not always. Although, there is something comforting in the feeling." . "I see." There was a long pause. Then the man continues, "I get sad on a cloudy day." . "Everybody does," said I. . "It's different when you have a family that loves you and a board game to play on a day like that." . "I see," said I, as I catch myself looking out the window observing the sky. I glance back at the man and this time I speak with sympathy in mind, "One of these days, you'll look out the window on a cloudy day then look back at your home but it's empty and quiet. And that board game? It's on the top shelf accumulating dust." . The writer nods back at me. He too had turned his attention to the window. . I finally grab the chair beside me and offer it to him. He smiles and obliges. . "So, we start the interview?" asks the man . "Yes," said I. . "Where do we begin?" . "Page one." . . #azizacreates #illustration #illustratorsofinstagram #childrensillustration #illustrator #painting #drawing #digitalpainting #pinayartist #filipina #helloink #storytime #storytelling #digitalpainting #art #script #writing #story

It was a good morning. Not surprisingly, exhausted, but not from running. No. Today, I dug in my heels and stood my ground and told myself, I wasn't going to run away--at least not today. Brush, soap and water were all I needed to wash away the traces of dirt, grime and shame. Today, I feel new. Tomorrow, I gather, I'd be whole again. #azizacreates . . . . . . #illustration #illustratorsofinstagram #childrensillustration #illustrator #painting #drawing #digitalpainting #pinayartist #filipina #helloink #storytime #storytelling #digitalpainting #art
