Boxed Culture

Lately I have been taking pictures to make it into postcards so that I could send it to people. Sadly, I haven’t found any decent printing services yet. 

So I decided to make a hand made postcard brought up by my fascination with pop-ups.

Here are some pictures of my latest postcard “Boxed Culture” 

The card measures 8.5cm when closed, and 17cm when opened. The cube size measures 3 cubic centimeters. You say what is this measurement-math madness?! It took a lot of math to actually make this project a tangible one. Yes, I even imagined being an architect.

The pattern was inspired by the design in Korean palaces.

Since you can not see how the pop-up works, I shall post a .gif file of it soon… and also the making of this project.

I shall experiment more with paper.

Andres Bonifacio!

To the people in the Philippines, Happy Andres Bonifacio Day!

Since I am all alone here in Korea with no one to celebrate this holiday… I decided to draw Andres Bonifacio and well… Andres (undress) Bonifacio. Well maybe dress him up. And in the process give him the chance to say ‘sup.

Here is Andres Bonifacio the father of Philippine revolution. The revolution against the Spaniards not the People’s Power Revolution. This guy is a pro. That is why he is the father. So don’t bother. It’s his day and that is all that matter…s. 

Being the leader of the Kataastaasan Kagalang-galang na Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (KKK) or Katipunan, I imagine him to be quite lean and in shape. I did not draw abs and such since I was scared to ruin the drawing and it’s cool that way, anyway, okay.

Here are some of the things that I made for him. His staple outfit and even a custom magical belt thing. Down to some modern day shades and the golden KKK bling. 

A jeje cap. And some golden cuff strap.

Here is what he would look if he had lived in the olden times and was a datu. Or maybe a super hero with a lot of crime fighting to do.  

Take out the golden cuff and give him some cap and shades. He will look like a modern day rapper revolting with some beats and fades.

But my favorite outfit for him would be his most popular attire. A white shirt, red neckerchief and pants somewhat like fire.

But today I want him to wear shades so that we can remember, that then his future was so bright so we celebrate him every November.

So if you see him in your mail one day please say hello for me. And always remember that he did something to set the Filipinos free.

And dress Bonifacio! Don’t forget!

Happy Bonifacio Day everyone!

Maybe I will place a downloadable file of Andres Bonifacio soon so you can dress him up too!
