Have you checked out Fotolia? They offer the largest image bank of free and most affordable royalty free photos along with illustrations good for any medium, web or print. Back then, stock photo sites are pretty expensive and offers really the same materials for each search - especially for those who design based on generic stock images for studies and mockups. Now, Fotolia offers a flexible credit system along with the mighty subscription system. For more information about Fotolia, go check out http://fotolianews.com

If you want to experience Fotolia's extensive library, we are giving away a TWO WEEKS SUBSCRIPTION to one of our loyal readers!

When it rains, Honjin to the rescue

Located at the 2nd floor of our beloved 8101 Pearl Plaza Bldg is Honjin (they are one of the longest tenants here in thie building).This is where we go for a quick fix of our cravings for Sushi and Tempura Soba



The mighty Dan Matutina dropped by our studio yesterday, nice to see you again!

Mighty Morphin Power Slurpee

Xiao Long Bao delight

Nothing beats the yummy Xiao Long Bao @ Shi Lin (Podium) here in Manila, all we can say in our opinion is its at par with Din Tai Fung. Its just one fx away in our studio....very very good!


Must try: Spicy Peanut Noodle

Fried Rice with Egg and Pork Strips

And of course, the 10-pc Xiao Long Bao....lets do it again sometime next week!

Thank you for your compliance....

Cupcakes by Sonja by Inksurge

Finally, Cupcakes by Sonja website is now live! This has to be one of the most exciting and fun website that we did (this site is also one of the most tedious flash site we finished!). Thanks to all who worked with us in this project - Nicc Balce who did an excellent and superb job on the illustrations we have in mind, to Diego Mapa for the wonderful background music and effects, and also the client, Sonja - for giving us the freedom to work on a fun site like this! Take time to explore the site. Enjoy!




We matched the illustrations with the actual cupcakes...

Don't forget to visit the Gameland, and "Create your own Cupcake"!
