I stand with the women and men of Egypt in their fight for genuine freedom and democracy! Notes: Clearly, I still need to brush up on my water-based media skills.

It's Election Day. My list, so far, populates only Risa Hontiveros, my senator, and Akbayan for Partylist. I'm leaning towards yellow, I am, after all, wearing a yellow baller band right now etched with: The Filipino is worth dying for. I hesitate but I look at the other choices and wince. It seems that I have no other choice. And I stand by it. I'm not impressed with NoyNoy particularly,

Best known for pioneering satyagraha—resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon ahimsa or total non-violence—which led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.

"Only island nations, such as Iceland, have logical borders, in this sense. Many national borders are absurd, and the abolition of the nation is justified on that ground alone. Hundreds of divided villages and towns in Europe are symbols of this nationalist absurdity. It illustrates the hypocrisy of the nationalists, who found division unacceptable in Berlin, but sacred in Putte or Mouscron or

 Must I print 90 million more of these? Notes:  Silk-screen printing. Regular (or perhaps rubberized or whatever was available in my leftover stockpile that time) white textile paint on black shirt. Font should be Arial Bold or something. A going-away gift for Tonyo (yep, the one wearing it) for his home-vacay in Galicia, Spain. Why? Because he believes so. And there, he won't go desaparecido

Free Burma! Free Burma's Politcal Prisoner's Now! Notes: That violent Sept. Burma clashes prompted me to sketch this back in 2007. The idea was ripped from a movie poster somewhere.

Notes: Made for my university student publication in a magazine issue with the back-to-back theme: hopeful vs. hopeless back in 2004 (election season as well). Situation then: grim. Now: grimmer. Obviously inspired from the Got Milk? ads. Models are my arki classmates snatched from their cigarette breaks. =) Not an endorsement for Hope.Geez, no.

If there's someone whose unswerving integrity and sincerity in bringing about real transformation in Philippine society I could personally vouch for, it would be Rep. Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel. Pin Buttons and/or Lapel StickersTeeAll other stuff. Notes: Hand-drawn, scanned and live-traced via Illustrator, then further edited with Photoshop. The colors seems a bit drab, yah. But the idea was

Notes: Visual support for an advocacy campaign project I drafted for my Introduction to Development Communication class in OU. I'm not sure if I faired well. I went AWOL. (Oops. Unnecessary disclosure of facts trivial. I take that back.) There was too much elements I wanted to bring in. Say, slogans, symbolic elements, etc. There's still quite a helpful there. But yah, I did snip out a lot,

Notes: As the date indicates, did this for the 2004 elections via the Laya Movement. For stickers given out to first time voters after voter's trainings we facilitated.
