The 5TH YMGDS

Last year, I was looking forward in attending the 4th Young Multimedia and Graphic Designer Summit held in DLSU.(yearly event) however
workloads got the best of me so I swore to be in 5th one. That is why I felt surprised and honored to be invited as one of the guest speakers on this years YMGDS. Not only that but 
I'm also tagging along with some of the Philippines renowned artists which includes, Valerie Chua, Katrina Pallon, Dan Matutina
and Nina Sandejas.

Tara sa Talk ni Tara McPherson

Tara McPherson is quite the icon in the Art Industry especially in the U.S. so when we heard that she's having a Talk and Q & A over U.P. College of Fine Arts Last Thursday Feb 09, 2012. We (Me, Hanabear and Timcorpse) immediately marked our calendars and attended. 

And though it was her second time in our country, (She was one of the speakers in GM 2010). She still had that level of excitement as she shared her artistic journey.

BAKA may exhibit sa sigwada

BAKA may comeback?. Oh yes it is! If your familiar with the iconic BAKA then you'd be happy to hear of its return as founder/creator Meneer Marcelo together with AA dela cruz opened BAKA may exhibit sa sigwada at Sta cruz manila.
Now, I first heard of our lovable cow icon back in its multiply days(old school dude!). The concept is still fresh to me back then but too bad I wasn't able to get hold of the merchandise, well not until gallery night that is. :)

VxV PH Project Sendong.

This may very well be the most important project of VECTOR X VEXEL PH, as group members put their pentools aside and 

help our fellow country men in CDO which have been devastated by typhoon sendong.

Thanks to the initiative of fellow admins and group members, everyone now is doing their part to spread the word, donate old clothes, water and other basic needs for the victims.

The good news is you don't need to be in the group to help out.

LBC has offered free shipment of donations until december 23 (may be extended) and you can drop your donations there so

lets all take part and give hope, as we are needed most by our people.

VXV's 1st Anniversary (Recap).

It was such an awesome experience to finally meet some of the members for the very first time as VECTOR X VEXEL PH celebrates 

its first year anniversary and grand EB  last sunday December 18 2011 at the Capital G. Robinsons Galeria Ortigas.
The program was a huge success thanks to the members of the VXV admins for their efforts and devotion. (I didn't help out all yikes.)
A 5 hour seminar that includes some of the finest talents of the group was held and this is what went down..

So Far, So Awesome. 2011 re-cap.

It's been an awesome year this 2011 and before all the recap, let me re-introduce myself for those who just recently followed me & my works.

My name is Vincent Rhafael Aseo a graduate of Asia Pacific College under AB in multimedia arts in 07. I worked as a multimedia artist in a corporation back in '08, Got into freelance web design in '09 and accidentally into illustrations/vectors last year. Yes, everything was just an accident.

Vote For A Hero Within Us. (Mass Canvas)

Its been a while since I joined any contest, so this time I thought of going for shirt designs over Mass Canvas. Now for starters, MC is an online contest voting community similar to Threadless and DBH, with the added touch of helping out for a cause. Portion of the sales from the winning designs goes to chosen charities and foundations, so its all good vibes. 

Now, their guest Judge is Stan "The Man" Lee, and for all we know, he is the creator and founder of some of the famous Marvel characters(can I hear avengers?). The theme is "The World of Heroes", which challenges the participants to create their interpretation of a Hero or something heroic and finally the important part of this blog post is you get to vote for the design of yours truly! (shame on me), so cast your votes, log in to your Facebook accounts and score.Thank you. ;).

Art Trades

This past month I wanted to do something different in my personal creations, and one that involves participation with other artists/illustrators.
First thing in mind was collabs(collaborations) but, well.. its kind of a cliche' already because ive been doing it for awhile, plus its hard to have a seamless collab on other genre's such as digital paint, traditional etc. so the next best thing? ART trade~ so what is it exactly you say?

In Tune #1: December Avenue

With so many talented bands nowadays, Its very rare for a one to hit mainstream yet stay to their indie roots, much more if they are as talented as "December Avenue".  Now I'm no music guru/critic and certainly not a fan-boy but hey, I do appreciate good music.

So whats the fuss you say?
