A series of illustrations I made for Alex Mathers’ (a London based illustrator whose works I really like) personal project publication called “Winning Incredible Clients through Google+ Mastery”. These are the four illustrations I made for him. :) Hope you guys like it!

It’s More Fun Weekend Project

I’ve been doing a lot of weekend projects for the month of December. I finished 3 so far. This was the first one, the second one was VERSUS/HEARTS and I just finished the third one last weekend. 

I really like the “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” tagline BBDO Guerrero came up with, the direction of the campaign and the big idea behind it.

—

In doing this exploration, I took into consideration the comments about the icon and the typeface. I also tried to keep it close the intention, tone & feel of the campaign.

This is solely a personal exploration and interpretation of the campaign. :) It’s something I do for fun.

VERSUS / HEARTS Just wanted to share some silly things I’ve been working on over the weekend. Yey. Another weekend project. The last one I made was my own personal exploration on the “It’s more Fun in the Philippines” logo & application (in which I’ll post soon). This set of illustrations is actually for an art fair. I thought of making a series of Vinyl Stickers I initially called Versus / Loves, but I think it makes more sense to call it Versus / Hearts. The idea was to show rivals encapsulated in a heart, because rivals cannot exist without each other. :p The first few explorations are Pirate & Ninja, Pig & Angry Bird, Zombie & Plant. Other things planned are Batman & Joker, War & Peace. Other people suggested Pacman & Ghost, Android & iOs plus Venom & Spiderman. :) —-Enjoy! Happy Dragon Year y’all.

Anonymous asked: Hi Dan! I would like to ask for your help with pricing. :) My client is a big brand that would like 1 print ad that will be distributed nationwide via newspapers and magazines. How much should I charge? Thank you so much!

Hello. :) I think it’s better if you just email me your question or private message me here on Tumblr. :)

It’s fun here in the Philippines. :)

Pablo, an Argentinian (& Italian) based in Berlin just came from the Philippines. He’s doing his Illustration Around the World Project, and the Philippines was his fifth stop. He super liked it here and he plans to come back. :) As I’m writing this, he’s on his way to the Full Moon Party in Thailand. :D

I really like it here, it’s one of the reasons why I haven’t left the country to work or live abroad. I’ve been to different countries in Asia and Europe (I haven’t been to North or South America, but I want to) and I still prefer to stay here. 

So yea, I think it’s about time we Filipinos become the ambassadors of our own country. :)
