Hi. I’m an artist, designer, and writer based in Manila.

I illustrate storybooks and the news, design books and zines, develop brand identities, make things for advocacies, and create experiments because I can’t stop.

2 of 4 new illustrations commissioned by @fightine

2 of 4 new illustrations commissioned by @fightinequality for the Fight for Alternatives Global Assembly! Young people from all over the world pledge to work as a team to Fight Inequality. Yet more photos from the Assembly at the Bahay ng Alumni. The comic from Kenya struck me as too close to home, a reminder that the struggle against corruption is everywhere. Also here: the flags of orgs from different regions. The mobile wallpaper version is in my Stories/Highlights 📱

3 of 4 new illustrations commissioned by @fightinequality for the Fight for Alternatives Global Assembly! People holding different-colored fabrics form the Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag. Raising their fists, they show that Pride is more than a celebration--it's a protest. More photos from the Assembly at the Bahay ng Alumni. Loved the visual summary/live drawing from the day before, and the graphic design of the tote by Colectivo Mujeres de Asfalto.

4 of 4 new illustrations commissioned by @fightinequality for the Fight for Alternatives Global Assembly! People from various cultures come together to create a painting of a house, a shared dream of one home for all humanity. Some of the painters carry bags and backpacks, signifying migration or refugee status. The photos are from when I got to drop by the Assembly at Bahay ng Alumni. Over 200 attendees from 24 countries! Happy to be part of this and to make work that aligns. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 P.S. The mobile wallpaper version is in my Stories/Highlights 📱

Another Habitats of the Coast update! C3 Philippin

Another Habitats of the Coast update! C3 Philippines dropped by to give me this calendar based on our work. Their partner communities in Busuanga, Palawan formed the basis of my illustration, and the photos of their activities are side by side with the corresponding drawings. Additionally, I'm happy to have a calendar with all the environmental events marked! I forget to keep track of these things so this is fun. Thank you C3 and Sir Rey! 💚💙 #pardicolor #artph #natureillustration #procreate

Catching up with myself (and Earth Day??) by havin

Catching up with myself (and Earth Day??) by having Habitats of the Coast printed. Life has been busy, to say the least, and it's nice to finally see this on paper! At A3 it's only half the actual size but also the most convenient to print as most digital presses don't do A2. If anyone wants to sponsor an offset run maybe we could have a couple hundred printed and distributed to schools and libraries? ✨ Habitats of the Coast remains free for non-commercial use!

NEW WORK: I am pleased and honored to share the ex

NEW WORK: I am pleased and honored to share the exhibition identity and graphic design for the Philippine Pavilion at the 60th Venice Art Biennale. If you follow me you might've seen this almost a month ago. Reposting because the regram app altered the colors and quality and I'd really like to pin this. Will share more info about the identity soon, hopefully! Information on the exhibition can be found in the previous post regrammed from @carlosquijonjr

Posted @withregram • @carlosquijonjr On its 10th

Posted @withregram • @carlosquijonjr On its 10th year of participation since the country's return in 2014 at the Venice Biennale, the Philippine Pavilion is proud to present “Sa kabila ng tabing lamang sa panahong ito / Waiting just behind the curtain of this age” featuring the works of Mark Salvatus and curated by Carlos Quijon, Jr. The exhibition title takes inspiration from Hermano Puli, a revolutionary lay preacher, exploring his life, mystical vision, and influence on anti-colonial movements. Narratives extend to Lucban's musical traditions, spotlighting the Young Banahaw Orchestra and Babat Orchestra, offering a proto-history of migrant Filipino musicians post-World War II. Through a newly-commissioned video and installation works of Salvatus, the Philippine Pavilion becomes a stage for exploring Mt. Banahaw's vitality and its interconnectedness with a broader constellation. In introducing this edition of participation, the cover photo of PAVB socials has changed into the exhibition’s visual identity which uses a “metamorphic motif that recurs in different guises throughout.” Visual identity by @_alex.paredes Exhibition set-up has started this week and will be completed days before the visit of the jury on the 3rd week of April. The Opening Ceremony of the Philippine Pavilion is on April 18, 2024, 2:00 pm. It will be open to the public from April 20 to November 24, 2024. Stay tuned to @philartsvenice to learn more about Sa kabila ng tabing lamang sa panahong ito / Waiting just behind the curtain of this age. #philartsvenice #venicebiennale #philippinepavilion #biennalearte #biennalearte2024
