Kudos for Kuya Pen for the photo manipulation! I am not confident yet of my hands on colors. As far as I can remember I tend to kill my works with dull colors and mismatched hues. Afterall I've always been proud of my inked works of black and white.

This one is Loki's Hand, I am fond of Norse Mythology way back when I've first read it in my encyclopedia volumes (the only reasonable reads I can find back home---those paintings and arts from encyclopedias were one of the best!) and I have incorporated Bikol Mythology with the story of "Sadab" or the enormous bird that guards the giant tree in the middle of Mount Asog. Kinda reminds me of Yggdrasil, afterall, it is Loki who is the main actor for the death of world tree in Norse Mythology (Ragnarok).

This work was used for Jerome Hipolito's "Kasagkudan", again another amazing Bikol poetry which tells about the end.
