For context, I’ve been drawing since Kindergarten. The back of my notebooks were filled with Goku and Vegeta—to the point na pinalo na ko ni mama. Hahahaha! I became an editorial cartoonist, and in high school, I’d always join poster-making contests (syempre may kamay na hawak ang Earth hahahaha)
I stopped drawing when I entered college, thinking I had to focus on my degree—Programming/Web Dev.
When I decided to pick up art again, I used my 13th month pay to buy materials so I could draw every weekend (after ko maglaba haha) That was also the time Facebook was on the rise. Then Guhit Pinas came in. Then Vector X Vexel. Then I discovered calligraphy and lettering—and I instantly fell in love. That was the moment my story changed forever.
Now, here I am. History was made.
And yes—art will save you.
