Good Art//Bad ArtistMalayo Pa Ang UmagaPinag-usapan namin ni MPAU (Malayo Pa Ang Umaga) ang kagandahan ng takot ng mga bata, ang hindi maitukoy na espasyo sa pagitan ng art at artist, at kung paano niya binuo ang libro niyang Libing Isa. 🖤🖤🖤

Good Art//Bad ArtistApol Sta. Maria: My Leg; A SeaAt 41, Apol Sta.Maria somehow manages to keep a childlike passion and joy in drawing that I couldn't help but envy.
Known mostly for his humorous work as in the tomes 'Alamat ng Panget' and 'Poopo the Cute', I ask him where his desire to continue making sh!t up comes from; why he draws the way he does; and what doubts he may have as an artist of this social media age.

Good Art//Bad ArtistEv Yu: Organic ImperfectionPhysical and abstract entities share the same playground in 🍒🍎 Ev Yu 🤡👻's art, where every glance offers something new and nothing stays still. Whether it's drunk clowns fighting or a blob trespassing space-time continuums on his way to work, her works will sure take you out of where your feet stand and somewhere else entirely. It's a pleasure to be lost in her masterpieces.
In this episode we speculate about what god probably (doesn't) look like, study scary non-scary objects, and talk about her wonderful mom.

Good Art//Bad ArtistMac Arboleda: Sick Internet!Whether it's major exhibitions that collaborate with international artists, online crises, or small pictures taken from tricycles, 🌼 Mac Arboleda 🌷 is sure to come up with sh!t you won't get anywhere else.
There's no one way to describe what he does cause he sure does a lot. In this episode he teaches us the thrills of working with different media, his passion/hate for the internet, and why there is NO good artist -- like, ever.

Good Art//Bad ArtistJellyfishkisses: Art with Therapeutic ClaimsA closer look at the vibrant, out-of-this-world designs of Anton Belardo (or Jellyfishkisses if ya nasty 👁👅👄👁🔪🌈) reveals something dark yet familiar: through big-eyed alien girls and leather-bound cuties we watch her heart break apart and make itself whole again. Her art is formed from somewhere deep inside her to something so out-there and palpable to the viewer. 💚💙
In this episode I ask her about the divide between art-work and personal life (or lack thereof), and she tells me how her immersive collection of paintings and installations and fashion through the years came to be: from not being able to afford therapy, apparently. 🧜♀

Good Art//Bad ArtistJulius Villanueva: Stories of Someone Else's StruggleFrom 'Life in Progress' a decade ago to 'Ella Arcangel' (and many other works) today, 🐀 Julius Villanueva 🕷 has grown so much into an artist whose stories tell of Filipinos surviving in spite of bad governance and economical injustice as well as supernatural elements emerging from familiar grounds.
Shin/electromilk asks him about the internal conflicts of writing about poverty, his ever-developing komiks stylizations, and what Trese kinda didn't get right.

Good Art//Bad ArtistJamie Cabatit: Feelings, etc.When I think of artists today whose work is emotionally captive as it is visually, the first name that comes to mind is 🫀 Jamie Cabatit 💉💦. Her illustrations while simple and straightforward convey feelings we often have no words for. Her comics are short yet unforgettable - almost to a fault.
In this episode we talk about the hierarchy of sticker placements, the void that LiveJournal had left in the world, and her three comic masterpieces.

Good Art//Bad ArtistJer Dee: A Vast Visual VocabularyFinding voice as an artist was quite a journey for 🍃🌊 Jer Dee's 🌟💥. His works are fun, dynamic, and f*cking awesome, to say the least. No one does illustrations like him in the local scene today, so Shin//electromilk asked about his influences, how he got to his current art style, and how his collaboration with Nike (NIKE!!! For real!!!✔✔✔) happened.

Good Art//Bad ArtistJL Javier: 'You shouldn't let photographers lie to you'At 26, 🌊 JL Javier 📸 had already done so much as a photographer. His photojournalism shines with sensitivity and respect for his subjects, his portraits both editorial and fashion are sincere, and all these come from a place of earnest belief that despite being the person holding the camera, his photos are hardly ever about him.
I ask JL about the guilt of a photographer, the un-truthful-ness of images, the internal conflicts in depicting other people's struggles, and he they has to take a photo of a person they hate.

Good Art//Bad ArtistMynegativefeelings: The Body as a LandscapeFor our first episode on 📸 photography, Shin//electromilk talks to Sean, known around IG as @mynegativefeelings🌹🥀⚘. In his pictures he recontextualizes the beauty of the human body, our skin, sprinkled with origami, stickers, delightful little stuff. ✨💕🦋
I ask him about Ren Hang, keeping one's horny-ness in check while close-to-naked men pose in front of you in their rooms, and the exciting challenges brought by using fim photography (which I personally know nothing about).

Good Art//Bad ArtistHulyen: 'Bakit Ka Nagmumura?'Unless you are THAT guy Shin/electromilk dated, you probably have seen 🙃 HULYEN's 🥲 comics somewhere. Hulyen's strips are funny with that aWkwArD, i-hate-myself humor resonant among us all. She's been interviewed a lot so it was a challenge here to ask new questions.
Here we talked about biking, appearing on i-Witness, commission works from large companies, and flirting with fans (?)(🚩🚩🚩)!

Good Art//Bad ArtistRob Cham: The Unbearable Komiks-ness of Being!No one loves komiks as much as 🍳 Rob Cham 🍲, and no one makes komiks like him!
In this episode, Shin/electromilk asks Rob if he chose the komiks life or the komiks life chose him, why he keeps shifting from one subject matter and art style to another, which comparisons he approves and disapproves of, and most importantly: the Mano Po film franchise.
I think if we all have even half the respect for komiks-ing Rob has, the world would be a better place like, immediately! 😙👌🏼💕✨

Good Art//Bad ArtistDead Balagtas: Heograpiya, Kasaysayan, Sining!Hindi sa pagpoprotesta natatapos ang mga kwento ni 🌿💀 Dead Balagtas💀🌿, iyon ay umpisa pa lang.
Ang mga komiks nya ay nagyayayang lumipad, lumangoy, tumawid ng mga isla, at lagi't laging magmahal.
Ang kadiliman sa bansa ay iniilawan nya ng kaalaman. Ang takot natin ay nilulunasan niya ng pag-asa.
Salamat sa magagandang guhit at sulat nya; mas naniniwala akong babangon at babangon ang Filipino. 💖
