yan naman pala pareho lng tayong patay gutom....though...basta evrybody's happy k?basta next time be cautious,coz you may admit it or not....may mga taong sensitibo...sabi nga nga nila word is mightier than sword...there is a right place and right time for such issue and not here in my account im building market here,and d lng ako ang offended nun and ofcorse those in other field like writers whom consider to make the best artwork,out of there write up and choose the people to be trusted with their masterpeices....hanga ako sa yong dedication pero sometimes it s also healthy to listen,not just speaking....u take care endeavor mo,keep it up...God bless

God bless filipino artist....

Not a problem to me as well...and i do know you knew what i'm saying as i do know likewise what yours is...and may i say you havent been through with everything because if you surrender that fight you will just end to the point where we are dictated...that is why i communicated with people from round the world who shared the same dissatisfaction to society's ignarance...Surreal/fantastic/visionary arts have been misunderstood greatly as did you illustrators...but even though we have differing philosophies we are at one with the cry for an art for the sake of it and for the poweer of it to change....and age doesnt really matter now...you may be older but i have met and is befriended and considered equal be several established artists from across the globe..., a renowned surreal collage artist mentor regarded me as the voice of surrealism in the philippines, , an old master fantastic realist have respected my philosophies as did , , , locally by , , and others such as Sanso(who i met in paris), Egai Fernandez,Jun Martinez praised my works, i have met Marlene Agular, I have talked with the curator of the metropolitan musuem of art in new york, hell i even criticized several established artists in france such as ...I was also invited to London's saatchi Gallery, expressioni gallery in italy and recently my group here in nueva ecija held two group exhibits...I am administrator of the surreal arts club, composed of international artists,but I count them as nothing and remain humble to my roots...i never raise myself above any others...i may acidly criticize but remain composed because i evidently rely on what i learned...

Now regarding with future plans, i have always wanted to share my talents with locally based artists such as us...contact me if you need any help...i will be very much honored...

and thank you for theinterest in my works...i'm really glad we understood each other...

Au Revoir

i never get caught off my own hook...but i do beleive i made my points clear enough for you to realize that im really up againsts society's belligerent abuse of artists...I was once drawing cartoons/pop/manga/illustrations when i was young...but when i grew up and realized that i need more, i need to learn to express more,regardless of the craving of the stomach...there is a marxist paradox that undelines that conceptual misapprehension...but i'm really glad we reconciled in the end....thank you for your appreciation of my words monseiur...I'm a bit serious in these kind of conversation so i think i tend to be quite a critic when giving my points(my mentor in paris, who is none other than Juvenal Sanso, always told me i am the acid of the art world that corrodes other artists into realizing their true potential, i hope my acid made my point clear). I have always been involved in artistic debates and i'm about to issue a book in collaboration with an american based established artist regarding with the notion of Abstraction....but here in our homeland i'm just like you who starve for the mere profit of money...but what separates us from others is that philosophically we never treated artistic exression as a commodity...there are great illustrators that i respect such as Angel Cacnio, Ralph Steadman,et.al...I hope someday you and many illustrators would redefine the genre into a higher standard that would surpass all previous illustrative art of the past...i have high hope for all

God bless filipino artist....

ok pare....atleast uve got caught in your own hook...atleast lumabas din and ibig mong sabihin and its true were not just commercial artist and were not doing it all for the sake of profittering...coz we do inspired the young generation through the genre of there time...even kids and they tend to start by doodling there favorite super heroes...until they mature and become what they really wanted to be....like you...and like me...so enough for me yun instead of thinking of the status whatsoever...but my hunger doesnt end there mahirap talaga mag isip pag nagugutom ako,kain muna ako kwek kwek....

Ayos lang un. I agree that society shapes the artist artwork. Dahil gusto nila ganito ganyan. But we should live by that. Learn to please many. Kasi others point of view is subjective by nature. Which is different on artist objective point of view. Ang pangit sa karamihan ay may kagandahan sa isang may nakikita beyond. Ngayon ang trend kelangan payat yung babae para sexy sa paningin ng karamihan. Lets thinkthat we artist are the ones very dangerous in society because we can mingle in their field just like a CIA kaya lahat. Astig nga ng mga gawa mo. Be thankful. Ang akin lang... Sometimes candid approach could ruin a good conversation. We faces different people that we could not pleased 100%. Tama yan be peacable ika nga. Your Correct there is a little misunderstanding. I experience it many times. Kahit I watch my mouth. Ibang tao ung makakapuna sa dating ng message na convey natin. Good thing for saying sorry. That is smart way of public relation. Magkaayos na tayong lahat because we are one citizen. Citizen of artist. Ok. Peace man

Its ok.No problem at all to me.

Just don't think we don't know your ideals.If in case you want to know We have been through that too. And In case you didn't notice and I do not meant to offend you, we are older than you.

We are painters too. In fact, we are still collecting funds to conduct different art exhibits in the near future.

Surreal? Oh I like it so much, In fact, I have painting s at home and if given the luxury of time, It will be a pleasure painting such themes again.
And by checking at your gallery, I guess there are things you did that interests us a lot.

Keep it cool

Actually, the word "Im sorry" is what Im waiting for you. That word would be enough to me. Thank you. I do hope you realize how sensitive words can be and how it can destroy open communications. Sometimes you need to be poked to see what went wrong.

This guy you just offended is a friend of mine and I know him a lot in person. I hope you two could worked it out despite of the "differences".

I do hope you inspire more people because of your achievement and help other artists who starves into the the last drop of their blood.

Careful of some words especially when it is written. We have all ideals, I understand yours, do not worry. This is cyberspace, sometimes misunderstanding is inevitable but sometimes that also makes us learn.

We are artists..sometimes we live on ideals, reasons and philiosophies. And sometimes we set aside ideals too to survive not for ourselves alone but for our love ones and that makes us human.

I look forward to see your ideals set into realizations.Goodluck.

End of my rebutall

"Thinking limitless creates no boundaries but greatness!"

for the recond mister becaro im not wagging my flag that i studied in paris...if you are saying in a misconstrued contextual statement that im offending that person well i think you are wrong...

I have always been an eclectic person...i did commercialistic works such as the ones you are into and that of the other guy...im merely criticizing pop art and manga because i have studied its roots...i trace it in american comsumeristic and imperialistic propaganda...to glorify the great industry and its products where society is blinded...they lead them to an escapism of material degeneracy...i have nothing against them personally but as a student of the arts i am not contended with society's glorification of commercial arts...there use to be a time where art is for its own sake...you could trace it back to impressionism, surrealism, cubism, abstract expressionism, neo-expressionism, down to our recent modernism and post modernism...I am well aware of the current cultural and artistic situation of our country that is why i am disappointed by such support on commercialistic arts...as a traditionalist symphatizer(and yes i have been acquainted to traditional painter such as Angel Cacnio, Cusi, Martinez, Egai Fernandez, and other members of the Tuesday group and other filipino artists who even though made their mark in the commercial arts came out to establish their own stylistic brands where society dont dictate but crave)i believe in the old masters concept of what art is...if you like me to discuss this to you in lenght i shall be dilighted...but it would take a lot of my time, which im sorry to say limited(because ten 20x36 canvasses are waiting for me to splatter them with colors)...

and please dont frighten me to report this on higher grounds...i know many higher grounds here in DA who appreciate what i do and know my dislike for commercialist driven art...

It is nice to have exchanged ideas with you

Reply ko ito kay ledzip...there is a bit misunderstanding in the grounds we are debating...im not personally attacking him...by contextual usage of my words you would see that im criticizing the capitalistic demands of society for an "art" dictated by them for sheer commercial pleasure and the gain of money...pero madaming pinoy artist na althopugh society use them, they in turn try to infuse their ideas to society so that society would realize their mistakes...if this is offensive then i am sorry...Im just commenting, and i dont think this realm is a dictatorship where people are not allowed to pop up...I am relaxed and I ponder a lot...i would not accept such narrow sighted reply from you, but for the sake of not engaging myself in a "matador" debate i will decline from my stance...you have your beliefs and i have mine...lets just keep it ours...

Here is my reply to him

"wala ako sa paris but i studied there for quite some time...and im not like other people na kapag napunta na sa ibang bansa nawawala na ung sense of nationalism...andito ko for quite a long time na, at trust me i am well aware of the customs and tradition of my homeland...i know its history and its philosophy...ang mentalidad na mahirap magisip kapag gutom ang tyan as isang uri ng lack of self confidence to your artistic side...pero hindo ko sinasabing personal attack ko yon sayo bilang artist...ang against ako ay yung treatment ng art dito sa bansa natin...kaya ko sinabing sad fate ung maging contented nalang sa paggawa ng pop o manga related genre of art kasi comsumerism oftentimes replace and dictates what art works should be...instead na may personal freedom ung artist nawawala ung self expression and the ability to show what you really want people to show...pero madami naman din gaya mo na alam kung ano ung ginagawa nila and i praise you for that...but im not praising the society's ill fettered capitalist demand for degenerate commercial art(which is totally for the sheer pleasure of commerce)...ako i did a lot of commercialist art from my days in paris back when i came here...wala eh tama ka a masterpiece of rembrandt cannot feed you unless it is sold...likewise we do service to this capitalist society, pero we should have a sense of devotion and sincerity to what we are doing...the important question is this...why do you create art? is art a mere commodity?What do you want people to look from your art? How can you influence people to your art? or do you want to influence them? You see there is a lot about what art is not just the one sided plane focused at gain...para lang kumita nawawala ung dignity...by philosophy i meant you should have strong supporting values where your art is grounded...para lang yung poste ng bahay, kapag hindi matibay madali kang atakihen...your vision is strong but if your philosophy is weak you are open to critical eyes whichj may tend to either uplift you or destroy you...hindi lang tau nagkaun awaan sacomments ko...im against the society's chaotic capitalistic imperialism hindi sa mga artists...society conditioned artist to use them for their own benifit...i say we should use society to show them the wrongings they do...kung ano yung mali na ginagawa nilang pagmanipulate sa mga artist...uulitin ko...im not against any style or movements, or job of artists...i respect the works of others...but what saddens me is that we are vulnerable to the demands of society...we must use them not vice versa...

salamat sa pangunawa...

Yes its an art if its done whole heartedly, Its also a craft if done purposely. Baka un ang point nya. Hayaan nyo nalang sya. Respect you say, that would be great. Sabi mo naman "if you believe na magaling ka, wala silang magagawa dun." Kung naiintindihan nila ung business side which i partially do. hehe. They will realize how important money nowadays. Mayaman siguro un kaya ganun. Siguro mabenta talaga ung talent ng artist na un. You can name anything an art. Sometimes its just a term many would accept. Pag nagandahan ung iba ng artworks mo. Napasaya mo sila. In return they called your work a work of art. You were right just like God has made. They are wonderful works of art. Take for example the human body. Its not just figure which we imitate in drawing. It has a sublime functions and coordination why it is designed to live. You cant compare Gods superior thinking and design to us humans. They say we just be thankful and blessed that we have god given talent. Parang tipaklong lang yan e. Kahit mataas ung lipad nya Tipaklong parin sya. Kaya wala syang dapat ipagmayabang. Kung yumaman sya dahil sa art na sinasabi nya. I have no question about that. Pardon me for late feedbacks.
