20 Years of Pushing the Industry

The group of Filipino illustrators that are collectively known as Ang Ilustrador Ng Kabataan ( AngINK ) celebrated their 20th year anniversary at the Ayala Museum Lobby last November 21, 2011. The artists show cased their new and old works for various stories that have been published in the last decade.





There were a lot of people who came to show their love, support and respect to the illustrators and for the rising children's book illustration industry in the country.


This night made me feel great about my childhood. There's an aura in the place that made me want to delve back into my good old care free days just playing, browsing and reading story books almost everyday. The memories are so vivid, me sitting at the porch late in the afternoon with a couple of story books at my side and having a fuck pile of my favorite snacks on the other side. Yeah, those were the good old days.

Young or old, girl or boy, rich or somewhere there hanging in between the seams, didn't really matter that night. All of the people were just having a good time and having their dose of happiness.



After satisfying our epic visual appetites, me and two other hoodlums went for a food trip to satisfy our epic meal appetites.


 First meal at Subway was okay. The Tuna Sandwich made me goddamn full already.



As for the second meal at Pho Bac, the Mixed Sea-Food Noodles just got the best of me. 



SATISFIED HOODLUM


Saw some good artworks. Talked to good people and good friends. Ate good food on a good Monday night. What a great way to start the week.
