The Filipino language is vast, rich and ever-evolving. It can take you from the flowery rhymes of the makata to full-on bekispeak. It can explain concepts in swift portmanteaus (e.g. salumpuwit) and non-sequitur idioms. It’s only fitting that they be visualized with works of art.

Lady enjoyed Math during primary and secondary school. After a friend asked for a portrait sketch as a graduation gift, her dream of being an accountant changed into wanting a life in creative advertising design--making it then difficult to solve math problems. Lady now spends most of her time creating art-related works and turns her humor and wittiness into comics and illustrations. She's currently a designer for 8List.
