Da King and I

Hello again! After a month full of work.. All work and no play.. only plates, I have finally rested in my chair and got back the momentum i've been trying to hold on to since last summer. Today, I will be posting an overdue painting that I did a month ago, right after I sketched Da King.

Da King and I

Medium: Acrylic on 18x24 in. canvas

We were given an open theme composition so i've thought off my biggest influence on Cinema. I was supposed to paint my grandpa but to make it more meaningful, I painted none other than the King of Philippine Cinema himself, FPJ. 

Let me share a little trivia:

I remembered the first movie I watched was with my Grandpa and it was this movie of FPJ with leading lady, Anjanette Abayari. As soon as I finished this painting and had it checked, I went home and switched the channel to PBO (Pinoy Blockbuster Office) wherein to my surprise was none other than the movie itself. What a coincidence! :) 

Anyway, I tried a different style on Da King. Instead of painting realistic, for the first time I ventured into the world of POP art. To be honest, I think i'll be sticking to this style for a while. Its so much fun! :) 

And since this is getting a bit embarassing.. i'll be ending this entry. I just wanted to share this tiny info to everyone who reads my movie blog. :) Hope you enjoyed that.. (hehe)

Til my next! :)

P.S. I would like to acknowledge Sir Simon of Video 48 for sending me this rare photo of FPJ. Thank you so much sir! Your photo was the exact image I had in mind. :)
