Last February, I had the fortune of receiving an invitation to collaborate with Yahoo!. At first I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the subject and thought it was just one of those bogus mails that I've been receiving. But after probing a little, they were indeed the Yahoo! PurpleScape production team.
Yahoo! PurpleScape by the way, is an exciting collaborative art project designed to recognize and promote innovative young talents as well as popular and established artists in the local and international scene. I feel very privileged to be one of the chosen artists among thousands of great talents.
They asked us to draw our vision of a place where there are no rules, no gravity, no money, no worries, no authority.... In short a place of fun and excitement, a place where no one has been before.
This is my own vision of a purple world. And below are some spot details.
Last night at the Ayala Museum, the Yahoo! Project Purple was unveiled. It consists of many initiative including the Purplescape. Below are six art pieces from Pinoy artists that will be included in the limited edition artbook that showcases the perspectives of 20 graphic artists from Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
At the bottom right corner is my artwork printed on a MacBook Air that will be given to 4-5 LUCKY winners of the purple craze. I could only dream of having a laptop, how much more with my artwork printed on it.*drools*

Wow! What an amazing opportunity for you and what an amazing solution you came up with! Fabulous detail, as ever! Good luck!!
ReplyDeletecool!!! congratulations by the way!
ReplyDeleteAaaaaaaaaaaaah! Oh my GOSH! oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I gasped so hard I nearly inhaled my computer! ACK! I am SO HAPPY. Such a tremendous and incredible surprise! I am just babbling stupidly right now, because I am so overjoyed.
ReplyDeleteThis is drop-dead gorgeous. Forget Tokyo, forget AZ. I want to live in your Purple world. Your imagination, Bjornik -- it's boundless. Love the navigation instruments in his eyes, the clouds, the upside down bird, the clothesline, the tic tac toe...I love absolutely everything. You know, when you first posted the purple laptop, I did a search on the apple site to find the designer airbook! HA! Now that I know it's YOUR design, I soooooo want it even more!
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!
Caroline, I know that's why I grabbed the opportunity, no questions asked. And we, the artists were paid back with greater opportunities. This is the greatest initiative by Yahoo! so far. Thank you very much for the compliments.
ReplyDeleteAlia, thank you very much. So nice of you to drop by.
Bella my dear! Where have you been?! I've been waiting for you to drop by since lunch. Now be careful, the slightest of breaths can cause this wacko-jacko birds to even go crazier.hehe But you know what's great about this, it's knowing that you liked my surprise. You must understand that it's very hard to keep delightful things from you. You even researched the laptop, I should've known better.haha They said, they're only producing 4-5 pcs with my artwork on them. I will forever be envious with the lucky winners! Thank you so much for the heartwarming message dear.
I LOVE PURPLE!!!

Hello dear friend: You have missed nothing. It probably is from pinnochio and I have on occassion had my nose grow and then shrink and then grow two seconds later.
ReplyDeleteThe journal pages are from when I was first diagnosed in 2006. I went straight into computer mode to figure out what the fuck just hit me.
Love you. Renee xoxoxo
