Aenj was born Fatima Angeli Ramos- 21 years ago in Manila, Philippines. After drawing her way through walls and school notebooks, she decided to pursue (and make a living out of) illustration, photography and design.
By her own estimation, she is a work in progress, forever fueled by the desire to learn from books and experience, overcome challenges, and shed more preconceptions on an ever-changing world.
Currently working on many personal projects, she splits her time between freelancing, art collaborations and developing a proper website that would showcase her artworks.
Let's! When, where? Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner! And let's do it the traditional way! :D
Hahaha syempre dapat thanksgiving season din talaga! I’ll help do the turkey and also the jams. And then some beer! WEEEE!
“Undesirable no. 1”
Because I can’t wait for 2 more days. FF to Nov. 18, please.
Baby It’s Cold Outside- Chris Colfer and Darren Criss
Glee (The Christmas Album)
Because I’m running out of excuses for not making ideas happen.
22 stories of different people made into 22 illustrations in watercolor.
I encourage you to be involved in Project 22. If you’re interested, here’s how it works:
Share me a personal memoir— joyous, dramatic, exciting, inspiring, life-changing.. absolutely anything will do! Don’t be shy. No judgement at all. I want to translate your memoir into art (or something like it) and make a portrait of you. Yes, you. You are my motivation and challenge.
Email me (aenjeleven@yahoo.com) if you want to be involved. All I need is your story and a high-res picture of yourself (to be drawn).
I will wait until October 22, 2010 at 2200 hrs for the 22 slots to be filled. If the slots aren’t filled ‘til deadline, then i won’t be doing this anymore and will be considered a fail and move on to a next project.
This project aims to challenge me on how I’ll be able to tell a story to a sketch so I hope you guys are pretty excited as i am.
Why 22, you ask?
No reason. I just think it’d be cool to mirror-image the number 2.
“Cara, wag mong kalimutan kunin yung nakasampay. Baka umulan.”
I think I have…. I’m not sure though…. maybe it was in a past life in the New World? Maybe when I used to paint with all the colors of the wind? This is all very surreal.
Oh. Thank you— but I only received Best Thesis of the year and not Outstanding. There’s like a point 0.002 difference in the grade. Haha. Anyway, it’s not all that prestigious. Best thesis or not, what’s important is I got my degree. I see it as just another bonus for all the hard work I’ve put in. Now it’s back to zero, a fresh start for building my career. All I could wish for is great health and a lot of energy to work on upcoming projects.
I have no secret to “planning”. I guess good things just happen if you set your mind into it. Don’t be pessimistic or uptight as well because things don’t always go the way you plan them. And try not to please people too much. Just go with the flow! You’ll be surprised on how much fun you will have if you loosen up.
Loosey goosey baby.
