I have taken note that many of you are curious about what to expect from me next. Being an Artist and a Mother, setting firm deadlines can be challenging. I've had internal battles about this in the last several years of life with the ever evolving algorithm, life as an Artist in the domestic sphere of Motherhood and my ambitions. However, my enthusiasm remains strong, so I am sharing this post to keep you informed and help you mark your calendars for exclusive limited edition offers, campaigns and book releases. I will make my upcoming launch dates and rearrange as needed to inform you about any changes as much as possible.

Currently I have 7 projects (under The Filipino Project) in the works:
Kumusta Baby! - Visayan Translation collection
A Picture Book - created in Procreate
A Cultural and Historic Fantasy Graphic Novel series
An Animated History Series
Educational Curriculum
A Limited Edition Gift Box
Oil Painted Collection on Wood Panels
A Seek & Find - Hand painted
A Journal for Girls
I will write about those I will release in order and if my schedule allows others will infuse into the blog as works in progress every Tuesday at 9am.

Like Racehorses
These chapters are like racehorses, where if one gains more traction than the others, it will be given priority while the rest will progress at their own speed. However, as with anything, the principle of "first come, first served" applies, and patrons are encouraged to vote. I had considered setting up a Patreon page, but ultimately chose not to expand my online presence across numerous accounts. For those eager to see my projects materialize sooner, you can support and propel them forward by investing directly here.
More updates will be posted here as they become more clear!
Until then, Salamat!~Melissa
