Filipino Creativity

We learned about Plus63, a community blog that is dedicated to showcasing Filipino creativity from its founder Dan Matutina who is currently making a nice surprise for us (*wink*). The site features articles and entries on industry trends and provides a venue for interaction among Filipino artists by allowing user participation. The goal is to provide a source for updates on developments in the field and a venue for relevant discussion.

Serj Bato did this for us. Amusing, isn’t it? Now, we need an icon for drunkondesign.

Chainsaw Art

Intricately cute, don't you think?

Jacques Vigneron took this photo during his recent travel in Pennsylvania and shared it with us (thanks, Jacques!). This creature was carved using a chainsaw, one of the programs taught at Appalachian Art Studio. We can only imagine how skilled the carver must be!

Appalachian Arts Studio is an 8000 square foot facility that conducts art workshops, educational programs and organize such venues for creative expression. For more information, check out their website here.

12 Pinoy Icons

FPJ, an artist and an icon

Gallery 7, a two-year old modern art establishment that specializes in rendering stylized and modern executions of personal photographs, will be launching an exhibit that will be the first of a series entitled PINOY ICONS. A tribute to ”12 Pinoy Icons” that were hand-picked from a choice of many (because of their admirable contribution to the film, sports and entertainment industries), these artworks will be printed on canvas and will measure 36″ x48″  each. 

The exhibit opens on on November 27, 2008, 6:00 p.m. at the Shaw Exhibit Hall on Level 4 of the Shangri-la Plaza Mall. This exhibit will run until December 11, 2008.
