I was born in the Metro and raised in the South. I’m a self-taught freelance Illustrator and Graphic Designer. My style is stirred with swag, nature and fashion.
In this sub-space, this site I call of mine will contain mostly about art, people, a lot of hair, write-ups and whereabouts of my remaining teen-minutes of time.Giancarlo Claretehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14364172434165263127noreply@blogger.comBlogger12125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1598534673144374374.post-16056691755549695112012-06-16T09:15:00.002-07:002012-06-16T09:23:05.702-07:00The Press calls for fresh Blood.<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">School just started with the rainy weather on its tail. Summer just waved goodbye but that doesn’t mean the fun’s over. Reunite with your friends and see new faces! Forget the “</span><i style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">I’m too cool for school</i><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">” because school you see, is </span><b style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">FUN</b><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;"> and is actually quite </span><b style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">COOL</b><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">. But to make it more exciting, why not join organizations? Publication ones, perhaps?</span><br />

Right before June started, I and most of the Editors of the organization teamed up for the upcoming issue. It took us almost 4 days staying at MJC printing press for the issue at Pandacan, Manila. It was bitter work for most of us due to our OJTs. Plus our Summer Fever was still on. Ha ha </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Far, far away from the busy streets and towering buildings of
Manila is the South where Nuvali, one of the most hip hangouts here in Luzon is
located. Last Sunday my siblings and I had a little get-together with our cousins at
their residence at Avida Settings. Nuvali is just 5 minutes away from our
village here in Sta. Rosa so there’s no problem for us getting there. Driving our way to Avida however was torpid
due its location is about 2km away complete with zig-zagging roads from Nuvali. The picturesque view was worth
it though. </div>

Later that afternoon we went to REPUBL1C Wakepark just a few
minutes away from Avida. The rates were crazy cheap, I would definitely want to
try wakeboarding. It’s a bummer that the camera ran out of juice when we got
there. There was this girl who I thought was the definition of kickass, she was
all-over that ‘omg-wakeboarding-is-hard’ thing. There were a lot of people
drinking and having fun trying to enjoy their last day/s of summer.</div>

<b>Francis ‘Kiko’ Cagayat
is one of the few lookbooker/samurais who wear fashion for passion. Mixing his
talent in advertising and his amazing taste for clothing he comes up with mad

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
K: Summer here starts
from July up to October and it`s as hot as in the Philippines. So whatever you
see on my posts is what I usually wear during summer. The style is close to
Topman. I love wearing loose or over-sized shirts (I prefer white shirts) and
my skinny black pants together with a bowler hat or a fedora. I might look like
a punk if I add creepers for my shoes but I don`t care. I just like that kind
of look. <o:p></o:p></div>

K: My fashion icons
are James Dean and Sean O`pry . They both have the boy-next-door look. I like their sleek brunette hairstyle and
their edgy look. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I also love the
military looks of Michael Jackson. Exclude the long curly hair and dress shoes
together with white socks. I`m not a Michael Jackson fanatic but I just love
military looks and I feel like a prince whenever I wear that kind of style.<o:p></o:p></div>

K: A person who is
trying to look cool even though he can`t carry himself into the public. I just remembered
myself last Sunday. I had this “Yakuza” look. I was wearing a gold necklace and
studded boots and a spiked hairstyle. And that style is not really me. I just
don`t know why I am wearing those things last Sunday. It didn’t feel
comfortable and I just want to hide from people so they won’t see me with that
look. So for short, trying-hard.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
K: I was a fine arts
student back in college. I didn’t able to finish it since I have to be in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Japan</st1:country-region> before I
reach 20 years old. Actually, I hate painting. It`s very time consuming and
since I started working, my motto in life became “Time is gold”. I spent only
an hour just for a bag. Well, I think what I did was only a draft. Designing
and Advertising is my passion and I could be able to continue that dream
through posting in Lookbook. I feel like doing an advertisement every time I think
of a lookbook post.<o:p></o:p></div>

K: I use ordinary
acrylic paints. It`s the best medium when it comes to painting in canvass. I
don`t use a mixing plate. My alternative is paper; so I could be able to
dispose it after use.<o:p></o:p></div>

K: I am already
working. I wake up at five in the morning and I go back home at around five to seven
in the evening from Monday to Saturday. I also attend my Japanese class on Sundays
but as of now we’re on vacation. Classes will resume on May 20. I usually have
headaches during Sundays due of having lack of sleep, stressful days and an exhausted
brain. I forgot to tell I always have an empty stomach. Being so accompanied with work makes me forget
about eating. <o:p></o:p></div>

K: Actually I have no
Idea. I`m planning to go back to Manila by June after I get my Visa extension, that`s
my priority this year. I miss my elder sister as well as her family. I can`t
get enough to see my friends too (the real ones). And I would also like to meet
some of my fellow “Lookbookers” who I never met yet when I get back to Manila.<br />

Unlike the previous Sundays I had the past month; May 13 was
unexpectedly fun yet exhausting. My cousins planned an outing with a few of our
relatives. I’m still quite handful of work so I said no. Of course they didn’t
took no for an answer so I just came along. We stayed at a resort way
south at Pansol, Calamba. My pamangkins and two of my godchildren were there.
They were so cute!</div>

Leave the books we’re in the midst of this year’s summer season! Yes, it’s that time of the year that we’re all excited about minus the presents and the ho-ho-ho’s. This summer is somewhat special, do you guys agree? You can tell it’s getting hotter and hotter everyday and everyone wants to skinny dip. Go log your Facebook account, what do you see? Hot girls in bikinis and buffed up jocks rule your news feeds, beach and nightlife party shout outs echoing on twitter.<br />

Sadly, not all of us can enjoy the fun due of summer classes and <strike>diabolic</strike> internships required for us college students to graduate. But don’t let this ruin your summer kids; I’m sure everyone has time for a bit of fun. However if you’re just that unlucky guy (or gal) sitting in the corner like me, here’s a list of pool-themed, eargasmic music videos that will literally make you high and just want to have fun.</div>

Here’s Fantasy by DyE. My friend, <a href="http://spellspinner333.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Gerard</a> shared it on twitter and I got hooked to it. I dig the track and the animation here, it reminds me of Studio Ghilbi. Horrific sci-fi version! (warning video contains adult content)</div>

You don’t have to fight an army of Huns, be Mulan and wear heels to be an icon. It’s pretty obvious that there are only few renowned Asian models that had work for top agencies across the globe and we have always wondered where these eastern chics, especially Filipinas are hiding from the world of high fashion. </div>

Last month I grabbed a copy of <a href="http://statusmagonline.com/" target="_blank">Status Magazine</a>’s Fame Issue and saw a spread of <b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/DanicaFloresMagpantay" target="_blank">Danica Magpantay</a></b>. Although I have known her for over a year now and have seen her multiple times all over the social media, her face just never gets old for me. I really adore her <i>alienesque</i> beauty, definitely one of my top favorite models to date. You’ve seen Danica on advertisements, magazines and runways or should I say ‘her yellow brick road to success’. Her ultimate win was to be the International Ford’s Supermodel of the World 2011, after that everyone wanted a piece of her-oh she’s definitely living the dream.<br />

When I was a young boy that still loved chocolate and pinipig-coated ice cream, my family used to visit Riviera, a country club here in the south. Riviera annually hosts an Easter Sunday party where youngsters play the infamous Egg Hunting game. I was never the lucky boy that was awarded a trophy with a mountain of candies at the end of the day. I thought the staffs were clever hiding the multi-colored eggs, but then again I was twelve. I remember my mom entering me and my sister on an egg decorating contest, but again no trophies or sweet treats for me, I kept on breaking the eggs.<br />

Early this morning I had four eggs. No, I’m lying, I only ate three. The other one is inside the fridge, hopefully someone would care to eat/use it. The first egg shell gave drama. It was nerve wracking to draw on it, it got smashed to pieces. I didn't put much detail and color on them; the egg shell was really small and fragile. </div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Y</span>ou look what now? Don’t know how to spice up your evening look? Fashion styling is never an easy equation to solve but Marita Galvez has been killing it! Despite her fabulous clients, her name is new to the industry. Not only she has a taste and works as a fashion stylist, she is also a senior writer for When In Manila and also known as Deejay Mcqueen of Mellow 94.7. So if you’re one of those who don’t know, it’s about time you recognize her.</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">G</span>: So you have work for a number of clients as a stylist. Could you tell us when did your interest in fashion started?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #c27ba0;">M</span>: It started when I was in the lowest part of my teenage life. I was depressed. One cause was my obesity. I remembered buying a pair of jeans but all the woman sizes didn’t fit me. So I had to look at the men’s section to find something that would suit me. </div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Then I started this obsession with getting thin and then I realized why I should have to fit into a jean other than the jean fitting me. So I started learning how to sew myself, and every time I was sad about family, friends or other things, I would sew eight hours straight.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last month, March 10, I and three of my friends from <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thebedanherald">The Bedan Herald</a> attended the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/YMGDS5">5th Young Multimedia and Graphic Designer’s Summit </a>at DLSU. Its main goal is to expose aspiring artists/students to the business side of Multimedia and Digital Arts. The convention that was organized by Moomedia provided its audiences a venue for them to showcase their skills and interact with the industry’s professionals.<br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first lecture was from Visual Artist <a href="http://www.katrinapallon.com/" target="_blank"><b>Katrina Pallon</b></a>. With her lecture she shared us her experience and<br />
works that are influenced by the intricacies of Viennese and French art nouveau. I really dig her romanticism style and I love that she is a Tolkien fan! Ha ha</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The program went on when <b><a href="http://aseoofficial.com/" target="_blank">Vince Aseo</a></b> took the stage and showcased his Vector projects. I have been a fan of vector illustrations for a very long time now. Back at ‘07 when most of the Filipinos were in the midst of their Friendster days I taught myself how to do vectors and that was the time I noticed some of Aseo’s works.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was 1pm when we got back from lunch; the next speaker was <b><a href="http://quietgirl.net/" target="_blank">Valerie Chua</a></b> a Manila-based illustrator. She’s known for her use of traditional media such as watercolor, gouache and many others. I am a huge fan of Valerie Chua. When her part of the forum started I couldn’t help myself to get the microphone and ask her questions.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here’s a picture of me making a fool of myself. I had jitters talking to her and it was pretty obvious. <i>Eh sino ba namang hindi kakabahan kung kaharap mo na ang ini-idolo mo</i>. I told her that I was a fan. People started to laugh and make ‘<i>Yieee</i> <3’ noises. It was a bit embarrassing for my part but <i>meh</i> atleast I gave a bit of entertainment. Ha ha. It was finally nice to see her in flesh. She was lanky and dorky in a good way just like as I imagined her to be. Too bad she had to go after her talk, my friends wanted a picture with her. <i>Kunwari pa akong hindi ko gusto.LOL</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am also a huge fan of <b><a href="http://twistedfork.me/" target="_blank">Dan Matutina</a></b>, a graphic designer and illustrator. I saw some of his works on Esquire Magazine and most on the internet. I love his style and how he uses different kinds of textures in his works plus he has this amazing humor. When it was time for him to entertain questions I stood up and asked away. I wasn’t nervous that time but I was hungry because of his Turon lecture. Yum! Wait, I thought this was an artists’ seminar?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The last speaker was music photographer <b><a href="http://www.rosarioko.com/" target="_blank">Nina Sandejas</a></b>. This tigress’ den are concert stages taking shots of both local and international artists across the globe. She showed us her portfolio containing photographs of Rivermaya, John Mayer, Kanye West, MUSE and many more. I thought Sandejas was really cute and was a very chill chic. Ha ha</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sadly the convention had to end. Much thanks to my friend Mary Grace of Moomedia for sharing this event to me and my friends. Thanks to Moomedia’s photographers Jelvin Base, Andrew Pamorada and Gerard del Mundo for the photos.</div>
