Who are these creatures that are haunting our walls right now?

We wanted to get in on all the Black Friday fun and offer some great deals this Friday, November 27th. Sorry, street artists, no Hardcore or 94 spray paints or markers are discounted. But we do have a limited amount of (excluding spectro and poltergeist) Alien for a door busting deal of $3.50.

The vibe was positive, the art was dope, and a lot of artists were on hand to answer questions about their art. The best part of the night was the people in attendance. They were inquisitive and genuinely wanted to learn more about the Filipino culture. Also, another high point in the evening was seeing [...]
In one of my tweets, I said that there is a lot of heart and soul going into our next exhibition “Tabi Tabi Po”. And here is an example of that, a great collaboration between different artists paricipating: This is the introduction of the documentary we are showing throughout the month about Filipino folklore at [...]
Our next exhibition, opening this Friday, November 13th, is an exploration of Filipino folklore creatures by urban, contemporary, Filipino artists. When we tell people that the show is titled “Tabi Tabi Po”, the immediate question is “What does that mean?” Tabi Tabi Po (pronounced Ta-bee Ta-bee Poe) refers to Filipino superstitions- particularly when someone is [...]
