What is it about your field of work that you love?
Graphics, Arts, Street and Urban Culture, My imagination and my awesome characters!!!
What are your inspirations in doing your craft? How do you keep yourself inspired?
My inspirations would be Chuck Anderson of No Pattern, KIDROBOT & Shawnimals’ WEE NINJA and I mixed it with that Japan-ish urban style to add some excitement! hahaha! I keep myself inspired by exploring and experimenting stuff around us that involves art, such as the urban lifestyle and street culture; plus the MUSICS and ARTISTS I tuned in to..
What are your plans for the future in regard to your craft? Where would you like to take it? Where do you see yourself?
My plans in the future; if I wouldnt make it to Pixar as a 3D artist/designer/modeler, is to put up an apparel line which i will call The Kidninja Projekt. I would like to take it here in my homeland and in Chicago Ill. (HOPEFULLY) hahahah.
How do you find your Analog Soul in our digital world?
It’s something you make from nothing, and turned that nothing into something. WORD!
What about your artworks do you believe emanates the uniqueness of Pinoy art/ culture?
hmmmm I dont see any Pinoy Art in today’s new kind of media, except the artists itself is Filipino. HAHAHA. But seriously, for me.. its far from the traditional art which we can see from the artist here, their uniqueness of pinoy art rather than in new media. My artworks doesnt seem to show some pinoy art culture or does it? hahahah i dont know.. but i can say it has this Japan-ish style of media hahaha.
