I am back and stronger than a 90s trend ( quoting from Taylor Swift ). Starting out a new series to document my 10-day quarantine in Manila. It's raw, unapologetic, and a creative outburst that stems from isolation.

Silence and solitude are crucial. And I'm making the most of my stay to rediscover and reconnect to myself.

Are you an artist or are you a content creator? A common question often received with scrutiny. 

What does it take to grow on Social Media as an artist? Do you post daily? Engage continuously? Or taking time to reframe your mind, your goals and your creativity would be the way to go?  

In this podcast episode, I interview Jovy Merryl, a seasoned artist, author, followed and adored by many. Why did she take some time off? We go over how she managed to grow her account to 180k followers and became an ambassador for well-known art brands. If you're an artist who wants to grow your brand, social media yet would like to remain true to yourself as an artist, then keep on listening

What will you do when you have 5,000 pesos and scraps of paper, pieces of cloth lying around? Maan and Roma have been entrepreneurs for over a decade. What started as a hobby of stitching scraps and cloth turned into not one but 4 different brick and mortar shops where creatives, artists, and makers gather to showcase their works. Commonroomph is a household name in the art community. Without business background or training, you'd be surprised how these talented sisters came up with the idea that opened doors and opportunities for artists and enthusiasts.
