You are invited to Abi’s exhibit at The Yuchengco Museum is at RCBC Plaza.

full-circle

Does creativity run in the family? Or is it a matter of elders passing on their trade or inspiring their children?

The Yuchengco Museum highlights Tsinoy artists and designers through a special exhibit titled Full Circle: Creativity Moving Through Generations, which opens on April 13. Full Circle brings together five families of Sino-Filipino artists whose works highlight the flow of creativity from one generation to the next.

Full Circle presents the creative expressions of an older generation of Filipino-Chinese artists and designers juxtaposed against the creations of their sons and daughters. Illustrating both common themes and individual styles, the exhibit also examines the artists’ work within the context of their times and pursuits. Among the featured creative kin are the Cobonpue, Goys, Lim-Higgins,Magsaysay-Ho, and Syjuco families.

Full Circle: Creativity Moving Through Generations runs until June 30. The Yuchengco Museum is at RCBC Plaza, corner Ayala and Sen. Gil J. Puyat Avenues, Makati City. Museum hours are Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. To RSVP and for more information, call 889-1234 or e-mail info@yuchengcomuseum.org.

pause, unpause - Art Exhibit

You are invited to Liza’s art exhibit at the Ortigas Foundation Library in Ortigas, Pasig City.

pause-unpause-liza-invite

In her art, Liza uses a collage of acrylic on paper, assembled like a paper tole. Including both existing and new artworks, she continues the theme of stillness, of capturing that which is fleeting. With each artwork, the viewer pauses, then moves on. Within each pause, a moment opens up to a hint of a larger vision.

Also on display are artworks used as illustrations for children’s books, like Ang Mabait na Kalabaw, The Star Thrower, and Mga Kuwento ni Lola Bayang’s Rosamistica.

The BIG Binondo Food WOK Map

Client: Old Manila Walks
Project Completed: December 2009

We love maps. So when Ivan Man Dy contacted us, we jumped at chance to design a map for him. For us, it was an ideal combination of information graphics and illustration - a good workout for any designer.

We got approval for the final design on schedule and Ivan was able to release the map in December 31, 2009, ahead of his target of Chinese New Year. The map is free if you join his food tour, but it’s also available for sale, for those who want to follow the map on their own.

ABC : Answer Key

Not-so-basic ABCs.

We just had to complicate things. Each letter is written in a font which starts with that letter. And, each illustration for a letter is a word which starts with that letter in BOTH Filipino and English.
