Hi I’m Eileen Ramos (she/her) and I’m a bipolar Filipina American writer, performer, artist, mental health advocate, experience designer, and book hoarder. F...
My interactive artwork dual rolodex, Correspondence , will be exhibited at Yonkers Arts ' WORDS show, running from February 12th til March 21st. It'll be my longest viewing yet! I first exhibited this at Quantum Intimacies , curated by the incredible artist Michèle Saint-Michel for Millennium Film Workshop in Brooklyn. I loved being part of the show, it was such a highlight of the summer.…
I'm officially tabling at the Newark Zine Fest on December 6th, 2025 at the Newark Art Museum in New Jersey. I was so lucky that I got a free table. I have some friends who expressed that they wanted to vend and I had a thought of letting them be featured on my table. But I realized, I just didn't have the room. It's a 3-foot table and I'm only provided with one chair. I'm pretty sure I had the…
{01} Every year I used to write for days leading to my birthday on June 23rd. It's been awhile since I consistently fulfilled my allotted, promised days. But I want to try again. So I'll write daily for 7 days straight and finally write birthday letters to my year older and year younger self. I'm turning 37. This ritual I haven't done in a few years. It helps me keep better track of my growth and…
Everyday I want to create. Whether it's shooting a photo, jotting down a daydream, or filing up a color box, I wish for my hands to be involved and not glued to my phone as usual. These following items I'd like to keep in my bag as well as play with at home--access granted for all time hehe. Small champagne leather envelope wallet that holds rolodex cards, notepad, and a pocket for ephemera It's…
I'm incredibly impulsive and ShopGoodwill is dangerous. But so lovable lol ugh. It's opened up my eyes on what direction my art can take and I know I'll discover more ways it's impacted me. This is one project I would never consider if it wasn't for this damn site. I'd sometimes see lots of disposable cameras and one bid did not work out. But this is much better as they're all completely new and…
I am learning that not every situation nor individual deserves patience. Not the kind I tend to practice. Calm, enduring, unphased--no matter how long it takes to resolve. This is not something that can always be afforded nor should be. Time spent on others' circumstances should have been focused on my own and what's important to me. I have spent a lot of time helping others and it's not always…
My thrifted laptop I won through Shop GoodWill auction arrived today from Georgia, and it's way better than expected. Big, beautiful screen. A nice metallic blue. Number pad! Even a DVD player that I hope works hehe. I got it for cheap at $41 and I love the thrill of winning hehe. It's a tad slow but not too bad. I think I can improve it. I hope I'll enjoy it still a year from now. I haven't owned…
I haven’t written here in a long time but I want to start again. One of my new year’s resolutions is to update this website somehow. Whether it’’s a blog, adding a page, updating with a finished project, etc. I’d like to aim for everyday which is the same timeframe I’m doing for all my other new year desires. But that’s a lot of pressure. I found myself feeling overwhelmed and at a physical…
I refuse to die with my daydreams stuck in my head. To leave them to rot in pristine, untouched condition. They will know the page, shelf, blog, audience, my loved ones’ hands, to the air & earth we all share. Sullied, misshapen, ill at ease, prototypes & fourth drafts. I will press the pen too hard, smudge oil prints all over. It will be rough & well-loved by a novice who cares too much. But my…
We have 3 months until 2024 is over and I thought it would be good to make a list of all the things I want to do before we greet the new year. I don't expect to complete them all, but it'll be nice to have something to refer to when I feel stuck. The through line is they thrill me and I greatly look forward to them and therefore my life.
