Happy New Year — Magical Years Sketches

January 1, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

Hap­py New Year.! Here’s a draw­ing I did yes­ter­day (last year!) of Che scratch­ing on the glass door to try and get out. Che and Tes­la are favorite draw­ing top­ics of mine. They are part of my new book, Mag­i­cal Years: Mem­o­ries & Sketch­es, a col­lec­tion of 43 of my sketch­es in pen and ink and reed. The book is a lim­it­ed edi­tion of 100 hard­bound copies, signed and num­bered. It is avail­able from Ama­zon for $45 : https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0971945896 .
For a lim­it­ed time it is avail­able for $30 from PALH (email palh@aol.com or PM me).


To those in the Philip­pines, please note that the book can be avail­able there in late Janau­ry, but please pre-order by con­tact­ing palh@aol.com; the book can be mailed to you via LBC in the Philippines.

Praise for Mag­i­cal Years: Mem­o­ries & Sketches

“ ‘Mag­ic’ is the key word in the art of Cecil­ia Manguer­ra Brainard. Every draw­ing trans­ports you to a dif­fer­ent world and a dif­fer­ent time, and you can­not ever come back unchanged.” ~ Tony Perez, Play­wright, Nov­el­ist, & Painter

“Draw­ings are often ignored as being mere steps to paint­ing, but with Cecil­ia Brainard you take them on their own — as visu­al notes, win­dows to mem­o­ry and his­to­ry.” ~ Ambeth R. Ocam­po, Historian

(PALH 2020), 37 pages, book size is 8 X 8, hardbound
ISBN 9780971945890

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
