      Naku! Wala akong camera, kasi wala akong pera! Pinahiram ako ni RB ng LX5 (yata) before, maganda naman. Kung pang-happiness lang naman at di mo ibi-business, oks na yan!

      Syempre The Beatles, pero dalawa na lang ang buhay. Siguro yung mas posible ay sina:
      - Feist
      - Miniature Tigers
      - She & Him
      - Girls

      Hello!:) Hmm, naku mahirap yan ah!

      Siguro based on my experience, sa pag-expose mo sa sarili mo sa iba't ibang career/activities mo malalaman yan. Kung saan ka pinaka-nakaka-feel na may meaning ang buhay mo, yun ata yun.

      Parang ako, advertising talaga eh. Nagkaka-great feeling ako of accomplishment when i crack a campaign.:)

      Haha, St. Scho pa lang?! Hey, do I know you?:D

      I get inspiration from varied sources: films, music, art history and design. As a painter, I could say that my childhood influences were Vincent Van Gogh, Carlos Francisco and the Blanco family. Growing up, I collected art books featuring Norman Rockwell and Gustav Klimt. For illustration and design, I've always loved the 30s-60s illustrations, especially of Robert McGinnis and Filipino illustrator Francisco Coching. Although I never got the chance to collect comic books when I was younger, I think my love for comics kicked in now that I'm much older (and now that I can afford to buy on my own or download them.) I'm an official fan girl of James Jean, Alex Ross and Phil Noto. I also look up to the very insightful Jessica Hische. Although I also get a lot of influence from Wes Anderson's and Jason Reitman's films when it comes to art direction and feel.

      Kinilig naman ako ng sobra dito sa "hindi tanong" na 'to. As in. Sobrang kinikilig ako. What I am about say is cringe-worthy, but, oo agree ako sa yo. Parang wala rin akong maisip ng ibang taong babagay sa akin o kay Wincy. (ang yabang ko guys.)

      Thank you so much.:) Hope I can meet you soon! <3 Hugs!

      Gawa ka lang ng gawa. Makihalubilo ka rin sa mga kapwa artist. Makipag-collaborate at sumali sa group exhibits. Basically, gawa ng gawa ng art at mag-network!

    9. CJ de Silva

      Haha, hay nako, ako ay naghahanda sa ganyan, kaya napaalala mo:

      SOLO EXHIBIT (Based on experience)

      1. Isip ka ng concept ng exhibit - anong gusto mong sabihin? As a collection, anong unifying theme ng art?
      2. Start ka na gumawa!!! Thumbs tapos tira na!
      3. Kung may first few ka na, gawa ka ng concept paper at sample works (parang PR kit) that you can send to different curators and art spaces.
      4. Identify all the things you need done. Siguro roughly, ito iyon:

      - Date
      - Space/venue
      - Frames
      - PR (isa 'to sa pinakamahalaga)
      - Invitations
      - Opening night program
      - Opening night catering

      Once okay na ang venue at date, start writing to friends and brands who are willing to sponsor the elements in the exhibit. Of course, keep in mind na sponsorship ito, so you have to give back something significant to these people who help you. May it be a brand placement sa PR materials ng exhibit mo or kung anuman. Make it a point na whatever these sponsors give you, you give back. Napansin ko, common mistake ng artists ay akala nila, kapag nag-ask sila ng sponsorship eh parang bibigyan lang sila. Hindi ito charity guys, you have to have mutual benefit from each other. Example: When you ask a restaurant to cater your food for free, make sure sa exhibit, they can give away their contact numbers for future clients. Lagay mo na rin ang logo nila sa PR materials.

      5. Gawa pa ng gawa ng art.

      Ang challenging naman ng tanong na'to! Ang hirap kasi mag-label ng mga tao (actually, parang mali ata 'yon.) Pero siguro, para sa akin, masasabing artist ang isang tao kapag sincere siya sa kung anumang creative stuff na ginagawa niya - music, painting, film, literature, etc. Sincere dapat! Matapat!

      Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for thinking that. Thank you. :) And I've always been a fan of my fiancé too. (since I discovered how passionate he is about his craft.)

      Again thank you. (Finally, a Wincy Ong/Sven fan who likes me.)

      Lagyan natin ng katuloy na "engaged to Wincy?"

      Like you're the luckiest girl in the world. It's not a question of how it feels to be engaged lang, more like how does it feel like to be engaged to Wincy. Simple lang, masaya. :)

      Kung gusto mo talaga si girlie, go lang. First date katahimikan pa lang naman. Go lang. Text mo muna o tawagan mo - parang pag chinecheck mo ang swimming pool kung malamig ang tubig, di ka naman basta basta tatalon, diba?

      Pwede pa yan mabago, basta maging honest ka lang. Wag ka nang mag-mind games. Kung gusto, gusto. Kung ayaw, ayaw. :)

      Go for gold!

      Naku, ang hirap naman nito. Tingin ko kasi, kung type ka ng babae, kakausapin ka nyan, una pa lang. Or baka sobrang pogi ka, nahiya sya. Pwede rin. Pero kung type ka nya talaga, i-o-overcome nya ang pagka-overwhelmed nya sa kapogi-an mo at kakausapin ka pa rin niya.

      Yayain mo na lang siyang lumabas ulit, dun sa makakapag-usap kayo. Wag sa sine kasi di kayo magdadaldalan dun eh. Kung kaya mo siyang i-text or i-chat muna, try mo. Haha.

      It will all depend on your thesis statement for you infomercial. I've been reading this book "The Idea Writers" by Teressa Iezzi at maraming nabanggit doon tungkol sa social media. Ang social media ay isang bagong tool lang naman sa pag-communicate. At the end of the day, human behavior parin naman ang basehan ng mga 'yan. Nag-iimbento lang tayo ng new media para punan ang ating mga human needs. I think dahil sa social media, mas nagiging discerning ang mga tao sa mga information na binibigay sa kanila. Mas matalas na ang bullshit detector natin. And in the same way, ang mga brands (at iba pa) ay na-cha-challenge na maging innovative kung paano ipaparating ang message nila.
