Project updates…Baybayin toys, documentary, new book, art

Posted on by

I originally aimed to release my Baybayin Documentary late 2010 but I’ll need to push it out to early next year. Why? 1) There’s still a few more people I want to interview, 2) I want to feature some of the interesting activity Baybayin enthusiasts are doing on Facebook and Twitter, 3) I finally opened my online art store and 4) Have been a couple art shows coming up (more details soon).

One of my upcoming projects will be in Pasadena, CA on November 20. This one will not be a Filipino event, it’s actually an Urban Art and Toy show. Over the past few months I’ve been working on customizing a couple Kid Robot toys. Here’s one of the figures that will be on sale soon. Contact me if your interested in purchasing one.

I return to LA for the annual FPAC event held at PT Fermin Park in San Pedro. This year, I’ll be bringing no less that 20 brand new pieces at AFFORDABLE prices. Never bought art? Here’s your chance. As always, I’ll be doing FREE name translations or learn how to do it yourself at my Baybayin workshop at 1pm Sat. & 3pm Sun.

To launch my new custom mini-canvas products, I’ll be having a contest on my Facebook page where you can get one for FREE (must be present at the event).

EVENT: Balikbayod – San Francisco 8/27 Surfing fundraiser

Posted on by

I’m doing a fundraiser on Friday 8/27 at the Bayanihan Center downtown, San Francisco.

I’ll be selling some new artwork made just for this event. 50% of sales goes to Balikbayod.

Balikbayod Returning Wave presents:
Return of the Surfboards
Friday August 27, 5-9pm
Bayanihan Community Center, 1010 Mission St. at 6th, San Francisco

…A fundraising party to ship donated surfboards to our youth education program in the Philippines

Join us for an ART SALE with live music, food, dance & a cash bar. Sounds by DJ LapuLapu aka “Bruddah K” from KPFA spinning Reggae, Soul, World.

*Arrive early because our evening opens with live jazz music by Little Brown Brother. Their sound incorporates indigenous Filipino music and instruments as well as Spanish-influenced traditional songs.

The Balikbayod organization:

Help us raise the remainder amount of funds to ship the community-donated surfboards overseas to the Philippines!

Balikbayod—Returning Wave is a program dedicated to promoting education through the love of surfing. We bring donated surfboards to the Philippines for kids to borrow, provided they stay enrolled in school or return to school through Alternative Learning Systems (ALS). It is a Life Altering experience to surf, and giving this incredible opportunity to a young kid is priceless. Make that difference in someone’s life.
