Tang Ina Mo Baboy! - For React


React is an exhibit my good friend Mano Lotho invited me to work on. Stay tuned for more news. I am always very flattered when somebody invites me to exhibits as I am used to just putting out my stuff randomly anywhere I please and galleries / exhibits to me are untamed circus lions for me to conquer (which essentially excites me).

Here's a paste up near the Makati police station done by Chichi as a reaction to the police brutality on students and members of the anak bayan group when they started a "flash - rally" in front of Malacanang on August 2009.

THE clothing x Nuno. THE Takeover

Nuno the destroyer

The - Etymology: Middle English, from Old English the, masculine demonstrative pronoun & *definite article*. It is used as a function word to indicate that a following noun is a unique or a particular member of its class. - webster dictionary.

T H E clothing the three letter Phillipine brand that is on it's way for the takeover of the retail market. They have been busting out shirts that have been selling like pancakes also in part because of the artists they have collaborated with (yours truly included). They have taken advantage of an innovative creative concept and made it their own. You have to see this hard work children. See this , take it and eat it.

Now speaking of taking over, you get a hungry beast like THE clothing and mix it with an aggressive , and prolific warrior and what you have is a bulldozer. Finally the time has come, THE clothing has collaborated with Nuno. Who is Nuno? Well if you don't know by now, look around your city. If you didn't know, NOW you kNOw.



"Nuno in particular has been very creative in getting into challenging areas just to manifest his aesthetic presence." - Yuson

"Now giving tribute to the most prolific writer in the metro, we are releasing the Nuno shirt." - THE CLOTHING

Paint Music


Paint Music a Black Book Design x Milkriddles Mixtape Click here to download

A new month has arrived and another month towards the end of the year. This is the second mixtape in the running of the Blackbook Mixtape project. In this edition, I collaborated with Milkriddles and he compiled this mixtape based on the theme Paint Music. Once again I had designed the jacket. This mixtape starts with "Impending Doom" a track collaborated ob by the prolific Daedalus and one of my favorite emcees MF Doom. It slows down around the semi-soulful "Tree Leaf Dancers" by Flying Lotus and speeds up again as you'll hear some dub beats and it ends rightfully so with a track called "Eat White Paint" by Cornelius who is a japanese DJ.

This mix is not only for those who paint but also for those who want to keep their minds moving all in the name of creation and inspiration. Enjoy!

I recently had an idea to create and collaborate with different artists as I felt like this is what the local community lacked or dare I say , needed. Plus I just wanted to do it for the fun of it! Not that I am a heavy - weight in the community, but I think it is a healthy idea, one which has rarely been done (especially in this context) and an organic process especially when people are on the same wave length. The more organic things are the better the results therefore, making the people involved feel good. And when other people experience the results, they might feel good as well. ( I feel like a hippie right now, but whatever.)

Keeping this concept in mind , I had the idea of putting it in an audio and visual experience in the form of a mixtape well, maybe a digital mixtape, but the concept of the mixtape remains. The mixtapes will be made weekly or bi weekly depending on permission of schedules with artists that will be involved. They will be based on a theme and I will be creating or collaborating with the cover art for every mixtape. The Black Book design mixtapes maybe downloaded on the link right below the track lists. (feel free to click away)

This particular mixtape (1st) is made by Kiko Escora a.k.a. Kiki Machine, who is a friend and an artist i respect a lot. He is one the creators and DJs of Fluxxe (Thursday nights at 32nd Street Fort Santiago. Come by to see what's up.) and the director of Manila Animal.
