petaminda/thougths-mapping

recently i started to map my thoughts every morning after a coffee and pandesal, i think thoughts are like electrical surge or the nature of thoughts sometimes they linger for a bit, sometimes they pass rapidly, so i started to exercise and put down, capture some of it and try to put down on paper, some are half bake thoughts or ideas that's still need fermenting, some are quite there but need some extra cherry on top. After a few days i think its a good workout to record some of it down, because probably some old ideas few days just need some finishing touch today, to see the big picture or if if its there or not

Some thoughts on drawings /art 

-Drawing is the first self-expression of being human besides crying, laughing, when we're young. We draw because human have eyes. Like mouth who consume food then we poop, For eyes i think its quite the same, we consume but we seldom empty the eyes bowels. An i think its healthy to let it out and feel good because drawing is very therapeutic and a person should do it often to get the hang of it. Imagine learn how to draw is like learn how to cycle. After you get the hang of it, it will bring you very far to unimaginable places.

- basically art is a documentation of your existence and where you are in time, google age of universe, earth,country,conceived,birth,current time/date, position on earth

-putting meaning into line drawings = symbols = beliefs = meaning

Beehive collective

Yesterday, attended the Beehive collective talk at UP center of fine arts. Felt lucky to be here and attend the talk. Some friends gave me the colletive G8 poster from Japan few years back and suddenly i never expected to witness and come across this event, 1 of the member coming here in Philippines and giving her talk about the process of the artwork and also the story behind the struggle of the South American natives through the highly detailed art/illustrations. Mostly about their struggles against big corporations and the world capitalistic system that destroy the environment today. It took 9 years for them to put together and print it big like a mini billboard size. Just happy to be here.

1234 80s

just for fun, some 80s induced graphics/colors to the current 30 second drawing workshop ideas

1234~!

last saturday (4 Jan) was extremely fun organizing the 30 sec drawing workshop with 98B, actually its more like an experiment. What 22 people can come up with within 30 seconds with pen/markers and paper, i think i mention to the participants that if you concentrate hard you can have an eternity in 1 second lol >.<',
But what i like about it was the participation. Everyone was 101% paying attention to most instructions on what to draw for 30 seconds which consists of 30 lists. I'm happy to see all of them laughing and comparing at each others drawings i feel like a kindergarten teacher because the participants even though grown up they look like children totally immersed with the activity. Everyone can interpret 1 thing into may different things and within 30 second can bring out the Picasso in them. Some drawings can even be turn into logo design, simple and catchy. In the list to draw, its not just a simple subject as well, what i told them to draw is a metaphor of the world we are living now. But mostly fun to interpret in many, many type of style....its the happiness that i see in them that made me happy, i feel like i'm not just bring out the Picasso in them but also the innocent child within them. The whole room feels like a kindergarten classroom where everyone's totally tuned in while rocking the pen to 30 seconds-ish punrock songs. It was extremely fun. The feedback i get as well was they had a lot of fun doing it. I forget to tell them they actually can exercise this at home as well and i forgot to give them the lists of the songs. Fun like a Hor Fun. Can't wait to do it when i'm back in KL. This is the description from one of the partipants: "a topic is given - some time given to think about it - then Sheiko counts 1,2,3, go and a punk song lasting 30 seconds play - by the end of the song pens are put down.
Somewhat similar to party games like stop dancing and trip to Jerusalem :) "

30 sec drawing - Because past is dead and future's far ahead, lets rock the pencil in 30 seconds, 1234!

past/present

a small tribute to my past self who's immerse in 80s/90s sci-fi/post-apocalyptic-future cartoon/animation and movies and my current self. Imagine a world like the Cowboy Bebop or Macross 7 where everyone can own a small spaceship that can travel far and beyond.

iLocos Sur/Navarcan/Gregorio Del Pilar

iIlocos Sur- Navarcan/Gregorio Del Pilar

Recently went up north for a trip to iLocos Sur following ATP members Mdm.Kate Monte Carlo, Dindi Tan and Krizia. They were invited to do their advocacy and join the parade during the World Aids Day organized by the municipal town of Navarcan and also we spend some time at Krizia's hometown Gregorio Del Pilar for their 114th Tirad Pas anniversary , a small town 1 and half and hour ride to the top of the mountain. It was a very eye opening as it was my first time going out far from the Metro Manila. Suddenly there's beach, sea, mountain, jungle, cliffs, big rocks, rivers. Very unusual to see an empty landscape facing the sea, as far as the eye can see its very soothing for the soul. The soft wind from the South China Sea, its hardcore serenity. Then went up all the way to the mountains, the breeze of fresh air mountain, my lungs and nose was crying with joy, free from tricycles and jeepneys discharge. For a few days we're free from the internet, facebook and kind of off the grids and totally in mother nature's embrace. Until few days later coming back to the city and was greeted with the Christmas shopping rush traffic, one with the noise again.
