Since watching @proudrace ’s show in October 2024 this particular dress still kept haunting me in a way. ‘Dressing’ little sea animals in local fashion started with this one attempt I had with that dress and a seadragon but idk with how visual Proudrace’s clothes were it needed more surface area to let the design loose more. Ok pa rin yung seadragon pero baka baon ko nalang for another thing hehe. Triggerfish come in looots of colors and patterns, and that variety reminded me of the brand’s distinct mix of fabrics and prints 🐠 (scroll to the end for said dress and the seadragon haha) #illustration #digitalart #clay #fashion #fish

Lil clay exercise with @carljancruz pambahay pique patterns and nerite snails 🐌 Saw their patterns and got reminded of all the stripes everywhere from the cjc x islander pop-up last February #illustration #clay #digitalart

Back in 2021, we ( @andahalfph @sofitort + @adalaud and teaming up with @curasaurus ) worked on the new identity for Proudly Promdi back in 2021! They’ve grown a lot since we did their branding, and it’s cool to be a part of that growth now this year! Ken and Maina reached out to me for the design of their new mobile bar inspired by jolly jeeps From my personal experiences at weddings and celebrations (some where Proudly Promdi also got to provide the drinks cocktails for!), good drinks always fueled great celebrations. I wanted to capture the fun and freedom of a great evening dancing with friends and family, lights and music hitting people and bringing out moves they never knew they had in them. I’ve been mucking around with style a bit more too and really gave the plants, people, and birds a glow like you’d see in some jeep art. The endemic birds we casted are the Philippine trogon and azure-breasted pitta This one’s going to be one of many artist partnerships Proudly Promdi will be doing! The goal for them in the future is to showcase different local artists too to match all the different celebrations 🥳 Excited to see the different forms this will take hehe local art 🤝 local alak 🤝 local sayawan Look out for Proudly Promdi in an event near u (meron sa Purveyr this saturday-sunday haha) #illustration #illo #digitalart

Q1 3D scan dump but more or less all the pokemon i caught from the Philippine Orchid Festival in February + the berries from @paraluman.world valentine’s pop-up arranged together. I’m glad i had to work on the iris a while back on Blender coz it’s fun to manipulate them in 3D with all the geometric and spatial freedom it allows you The weather was great when I visited to all the light helped with taking all their photos. Found 3 different paphiopedelum species on display, and a katmon that won a prize for an ornamental category. There was this huge bonsai bougainvillea probably older than me there. Di na nagkasya sa group photo nila but I snuck it in here coz the roots were massive 💪

I was commissioned by @gisenchy and @miguelferia to do design and bring the vision they had for their wedding celebration to life that happened back in January this year!! Since they were already married, BUBUFOREVERLIFE became their not-wedding, where they get to have all the full unserious fun with their guests and bring both their universes together in an evening of love, joy, and celebration! We transported Hieronymous Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights to Cavite and grow other creatures and life in the garden from the things Gisella and Miguel love – fashion, lots of bread, zelda, koroks, memes, their tattoos, australian flora, etc.! There ended up being four major classes~ the ampalayas (from Gisella’s alamat ng ampalaya tattoo), hyruleans (koroks and blupees), angels, and bread people I had a lot of fun merging all their worlds together into one party, and making the different materials all the guests interacted with from the website to the wayfinding! My favorite part of the whole thing was the little souvenir/activity we came up with for the guests. What was missing from their multiuniversal garden was the guests! So we had them build their own lil guys on the table using stickers and their imagination 🧚‍♀️ It started as a template but it was really cool seeing all the ways I could never have imagined them being made!! Thank you again for trusting me with ur dream Gisella and Miguel ❤️‍🔥 and huge thanks also to @august_creativestudio for making the designs a reality!

A clip from a video installation for @smutt.meet feat. a Fukuokan iris growing in the street 🪻 @polycam3d scan, loaded on @blender.official then @cavalry.app

While waiting for a bus heading to Yanagawa from Fukuoka, we spotted an iris growing right on the sidewalk! First time seeing one this big and insane that it’s growing freely in the public. I took a couple of photos and 3D-scanned the flowers. Then last January, I used the 3d scan for a video installation for @smutt.meet 🪻 I tweaked the colors and warped it to look dreamier, like a hazy dream or peering into a crystal ball to jive with the fantasy of the night

Mathematicians have long been fascinated by the concept of aperiodic tiling: covering a whole surface in shapes without ever creating a repeating design. On such surfaces, there is no subsection that could be copied and pasted to expand the plane further. Past successes in aperiodic tiling have always featured a minimum of two differently shaped tiles to create the non-repeating patterns, but the search for a single “einstein” shape - not referring to the physicist Albert Einstein, but from the German “one stone” – that can uniquely cover an infinite surface on its own, continued. In 2023, a “vampire einstein” shape was finally discovered, so named because it can form infinite non-repeating patterns without ever requiring its mirror image. Based on a 14-sided polygon with modified, curved edges, the shape belongs to a family of other “vampire” monotiles known as “Spectres.” Like the monotile, “Fixations (Make Me Dance)” is a soundscape that evokes aperiodicity. From the mind of producer and DJ Vincent Pante a.k.a. Bins (@binspants ), the track is built around a single chord sequence on one synthesizer, dubbed and modulated to layer in on itself in constant evolution. Bins’ EP ‘The Body Project’ features non-repeating Spectre-tiled artwork by illustrator Tim Lopez (@slugfang ) and is brought to life with a visualizer by graphic designer Nash Cruz (@nashycruzy ).

“Gulayan” is a long-form ambient piece we performed live at @1f_projects , featuring a special set paired with Tim’s reactive projections that respond to the music in real-time. Watch the entire set on the crwn YouTube channel Special thanks to @jad.otf for the beautiful type and @derektumala for putting the show together 🌸🪴🌱
