 oining the 2016 trend. I am sharing a painting I created back in 2016. At the time, a cartoony painting style was not yet very popular. Now, I often see cartoon-style paintings hanging in local galleries.

My Super Manila 2023 Experience

Super Manila was held from December 15 to 17, 2023 at Ayala Malls Circuit Makati in the Philippines. On the first day, I went straight to the roof deck to check on the setup of the tables.

Sometimes I think about developing a single, recognizable style, but to me, that doesn’t sound fun at all. I enjoy exploring art, and if that means changing styles often, then so be it.
