just when you thought everything you wanted to see was in dea..

you jump into a page, with HTKs tutorial and interview, and articles including all the artists featured in Art of the Wired artbook! gasp!
you'd realize my enthusiasm when you know that i have no money to my name and only get to see books like this on shelf display..

www.guupress.com/magazine/alla…

ah, the internet's wonders, thanks GUU press.. please view and let your eyes enjoy.. there's a word for it i believe.. ah! visual sensation!..

ah yes.. if only i have enough money to buy me a tablet.. and that artbook and the whole robot series.. and a spankin new 21 inch monitor and a mac to top it all!..

of course i plan on graduating hehe.. but when i'm done with school,
let us all remember our exchanges here in DEA and remember each other - from our amateurish starts to what we are now (hopefully better).., especially to my Filipino friends..  ^.^

then, if we are still alive and have some money in our pockets (hopefully not broke)..
let us make our own artbook ^^ and sell them to kids all across the country..

so that my friends, they will not only think about porn, but hopefully if we release the boundaries on their imagination.. they may one day create a magnificent artwork that would make us all gasp in awe.. and say..

ah.. art is wonderful..

Huray for Philippine Animation!

last July 17, 2007 was the launching of 'Libignan' at CCP, the movie-product of the FIRST FILIPINO Animation company, Tuldok Animation Studios, Inc.

here's a movie preview
www.tuldokanimation.com/

here's some pictures of the event aswell

The four core founders were lasalle alumnis and former members of The LaSallian publication, also as arts and graphics staffers.. here are their names so that we may remember Benedict Carandang, Ramon del Prado, Toffer Liu, and Ayeen Pineda.

i don't have a copy of the article yet digitally, but we have it on print already.. please check the publication's site regularly in menagerie section.. or you could try searching for it on the web.. just type tuldok animation or libingan.. i think there's some news about it already on major pubs beside from the official company blog.

what's even more great than movie is the promising future of the company. i also don't have a copy of company/movie brochure or another article on it by the Benildean, but anyway, everything was there, how there are formal roles and departments in the company, how it works as an organization.. i've only realized and understood  this now that i'm taking up ORGBEHV (org. behavior) as a subject.

personally, and for a long time too, i thought people in this field and industry were a bunch of weirdos and crazy people, working on a near bending set od roles and responsibilities.. i think i somehow got this image of them from culture crash (sori guys kung mabasa nyo man, wag sana kayo magalit hehe ^^) from all those how and where we draw stuff.. (god i miss CC..!!) i guess that's thinking in the likes of a small group like CC where majority of the members are core member or founders..

thinking back, i think it was very naive.. now i know there's certain departments to handle which, this, that and what not.. like for example, there's the core members or executives, the arts dept, a finance dept, managing dept, promotions.. etc
it's a real work place, or so i believe..

haha turns out the artists work and share much information over the internet, in ygroups and conferences.. like one should expect in the Philippines, the artists have day job, so there's also the issue on meetings and scheduling.. after typing to this point, i realized how boring it sounds.. haha sorry, i'm not much of a writer..

anyway enough with the business side of things.. what' important is the passion and imagination right?! um, ..right??

--

our art and graphics editor (the owner of the multiply link above) invited us to watch it before, which for some reason i ''dismissed and refused'' over some project, paper or other school or trivial matter.. i was really busy at that week..

i really regret not being there, now i feel that i've missed something really important in my life or in our history.. i mean this was big news! well at least for me or other Filipino artist who share the same passion, as jerry would say, for anyone who'd be doing such helpful things, at least everyone else should be happy..

ok here's the rant part. damn it! i should've gone! now i really want to see the movie on the big screen! the makers of the film, artists, fans, faithful watchers, eager artists waiting for someone or some group to take that torch and light a start in the local animation industry.. professionals were also there, several big names in the industry, the ambassador of Japan, and.. and.... Lougee Basabas of Mojofly!!! damn it!

Huray for Philippine Animation!

i think i can partly give up my dream of being a self made pianist..

my friend has a point there somehow..
in my late age, i'm still only an amateur, not having formal lessons past grade school at that.. also there's this struggle as to which to develop first.. academics, music, art.. even poetry..

sigh.. well, we wont know until we try right? i think each one of us is a potential yoko kanno..!
we'll see in three years.. hehe

ciao!

been listening to a lot of jazz lately..

i like the miles davis ones best.. especially all of you..
i even have a playlist 'lounge music' in my itunes ^^

i wonder if i can ever be jazz man.. when i mentioned the same thing to our drummer he said that not all people were born to be a jazz man.. that it's one of the toughest genre to learn and master.. even/especially for drummers..

i wanted to do it as a bassist but now i think if i would ever do it, i like to learn it on piano.. there was this one time i was passing by perfect pitch store in robinsons, they were playing some really cool jazz, the bass parts and solos were great.. the piano parts took you away too.. but the greatest dream is to do it on sax or trumpet^^

i shouldn't have refused my dad's jokingly offer to let me study piano or sax when i was still in grade school.. he loved the sax..

anyway, i was inspired to 'air' piano while listening haha..
i really want to try, maybe buy books about the scale and mode sometime this term break.. gonna borrow my cousin's organ too..

it's a really wonderful genre.. you should try listening to it too..
start of with 'all of you' by the miles davis quintet, thanks melai..

ever heard of phil hansen?
