Design Para Sa Lahat

My last week of July (24-30) was fully booked with special events here and there... I must agree that the world is a bigger school, you have to take everything as a fun learning experience like a sponge, especially now that I'm beginning a long and interesting career in the creative world of Advertising Design ;)
Art at the Shang 2011

I was able to attend the last day of the exhibit with two of my bestfriends since pre-school. And coincidentally most of the artworks there have subjects that show the joy of youth, color and life. I'm happy that in a way, I got them interested in trying out a hobby in painting :D


Philippine STAR's 25th Anniversary




25 years is how long we are enjoying our Freedom of Speech & Truth in the Media (and also in Advertising) One of the perks in working in an ad agency, is getting invited to major, major media events like this (we're awarded one of Top 25 agencies)  Highlight of the night was my winning shot with FVR. ;)


Graphika Manila 2011

Now on its 6th year (and my 1st time to attend, along with 3,000 students & young professionals) the GM 2011 is a living proof of how far we have come in terms of the Design Industry in Metro Manila and with that said, let us altogether blog and tweet about   #designparasalahat and like the FB fan page:  facebook.com/designparasalahat to show our support for a Senate bill is going to be filed by Sen. TG Guingona on August 8, 2011, as an initiative that believes that Philippine design and creativity should be taken to another level; for the establishment of the Design Council of the Philippines. Let's make our country beautiful, support the Arts! :)

Save Baguio Pine Trees

I have been to Baguio City, twice in my life. The first trip was ten years ago when I was 12. And just recently, last February for the Panagbenga Festival. And because of its cold weather and abundance of strawberries, peanut brittle and choco flakes, not to mention wearing 'Winter Wardrobe' (knitted sweaters, berets, etc.) and most importantly, the picturesque mountain views with towering pine trees, I have come to love the place. So it is only right that I dedicate an artwork for the City of Pines, the summer capital of the Philippines. I may not be an environmentalist holding a picket along with the locals, but this I guess is the best I can do as an artist - to inspire people that the beautiful riches of our country is in our natural resources, we must take good care of it, as stewards of God's creation. I thank you. :)

The Gap

Ira Glass on Storytelling from David Shiyang Liu on Vimeo . "All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap.  It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions." -Ira Glass What drove me to post this inspiring video is the fact that one work of mine has been finally put up in EDSA. It's like a milestone to be celebrated, but it falls under the kind of work that you're not really very proud to show... not because it's that bad, it's just trying to be good. I am not going to name-drop that certain brand, and I have to say that the artist does not always have the call on how can it be done solely, there are a lot more people involved in the creative process.  This is just the beginning and so I hope and pray that in the near future, I'll get past the stage where I just work for the sake of getting the job done but because it was...
