Part Two: In which I show you what we made together

I attended the workshop with six other people: my brother, Meggie Ong, Jason Moss, Dex Fernandez, Jigger Cruz, and Paolo Ferrer. I did not know any of them, except for my brother, going into it. Obviously was very nervous and fake-shy, but that quickly went away, because they were all much better at being sociable than I was. This is where I will post pictures of what we made together along with Bongoût (Anna Hellsgård and Christian Gfeller), Manuel Ocampo, and Carlo Ricafort.

We made two-color covers, experimenting with many-colored ink passes through the screen. It turned out okay, I think. Some of the local inks were a bit tricky to deal with though, because you had to mix them with this thing called an extender (if I am not mistaken), but we were mostly happy with the results.

One layer of ink.

Two layers! You can’t see it very well, but there’s a purple overlay over than orange back layer.

Three layers! A blue, a grey-green, and then a purple-y rose color over everything.

Collaboration between several artists feat. a gradient from purple to some pinks and reds.

Each one was hand-sewn! The paper was sort of too thick, in my opinion, so it was harder to puncture and sew.

Some copies are available at DAGC Gallery, I think. You can drop by (Pasong Tamo Ext.) if you want to take a look. I have two in my possession (01 and 09), so you can also ask me to see them, if we’re friends! I’d be happy to show you.
