During the 2022 election season, Salinlahi organized a campaign called “Boto mo Kinabukasan Ko” that aims to highlight the electoral agenda of Filipino children in the election, such as advocating for

During 2020, the newly accepted members of Ang INK (Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan), were tasked to create a batch project.

As the 2020 Batch called PandemINK, we created an anthology of stories of Filipino children with their experiences during the pandemic.

In the anthology itself, I submitted a story and artwork titled “Bea can be”. It was also my first digitally published story. The story revolves around Bea as she tries to be everything she wants to be during play pretend; she turns into different characters while staying at home and overcoming the challenges of a virus.

Delve deep between the pages, make your escape while forgoing all dilemmas.

Hear out the voices, an outcry; freedom is near.”

Slice of Life Project Type

Slice of Life is a 2022 apparel merchandise that I created for a class that turned into a passion project. It is aptly named from the media genre centered around the appreciation of the mundanity of living. Playing with the idea of “slice of life”, a slice of orange comes to life in a bunny form. This is how Habunny came to be.

There was a two-part shoot campaign during its release in which I also managed the shoot and layout. I’ve used poems about sharing oranges as accompanying text to the layout.

The packaging of the merchandise is a fruit plastic mesh bag with the apparel appearing as the orange inside it, resembling how fruit is sold in a public market.

Y2K4dA Project Type

Art Direction, Merchandise, Digital Illustration, Visual Branding and Identity

Y2K4da (alternatively known as Y2K Barkada) is a sticker sheet that features early2000s Pinoy youth culture fused with traditional outfits and local handicrafts.

I jumped in on the resurgence 32

of these graphics.

I categorized the characters in the concept of “Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy”, naming them “Kikay, Japorms, Girlaloo, and Rakista” as their respective 2000s characters.

The illustration is based on the thick and bold-lined illustrations of cartoons and graphics of the bright, colorful and electronicinfluenced visuals of the 2000s.

I have joined a total of 5 events in June, which is also Pride Month. It was one of my successful runs of being an art merchant in recent times.

Aside from that, I was also featured in a Young Star article as one of the local queer artists to look for in Komiket Pride.
