    Jolo: a lot of it is stolen… err ‘appropriation’ :-) from other artists that I really like. I’m really influenced by Pinoy artists the same age as me but already famous and accomplished: Borlongan, Garibay, Parial, Justiani… the Salingpusa group.

    But the case is you have your style to–believe. And you’re making your own country proud of you. :D

    I think I’ve seen some works of Borlongan at the SM Megamall Art exhibit area.

    I particularly like the distorted, weightlessness in his hands and arms :)

    very relatable, i think we’ve all had that dream, and then when we begin waking up we feel a physical crashing back to earth! he looks so peaceful.

    beautiful and so human, everyone can connect to this. I really like the almost woodcut effect your pencil marks make.
