Vote for Rafael Kayanan’s artwork

here’s an email message from Rafael Kayanan

Hi Alamat folks,

I saw this contest online and I NEVER enter these things because art is so subjective, but what
intrigued me most were the limitations of using 6 stock images (supplied by the hosts). It
challenged a whole different skill set, in that I had to make very “cold” photos into something
else… no painting or analog art. Just pure Photoshop.

I didn’t want to post the actual image online, in case there was some copyright rule I wasn’t
aware of.

Thanks for looking!

best,
–Rafael–

Comic artists in Eat Bulaga’s On da Spot game

Its funny to see our local comic artists participate in a variety show game, I just saw this inside the bus with TV while going to Manila yesterday. That explains that why I am familiar with the final contestant for the jackpot game. The jackpot question was ” who wrote the story of the monkey and the tortoise”, then after winning the jackpot and getting a big prize, they showed off their comic arts and drawing on TV.
