Manila / Restaurant

Toyo is one of my favorite restaurants in Manila. The shop is in the same compound as my studio, so I always bring my visiting friends here for dinner. The ambience is nice and the food is really really good. It's Filipino food in its essence, but done very differently.

Manila / Art

A dedicated space in Manila for contemporary art galleries, institutions, shops, restaurants, cafes and a design studio, along a wide, shaded garden hallway, The Alley is a quiet and relaxed place where you can sit outside from afternoon to evening over coffee and wine, catch a show, put up a show, meet a friend.

Rikuzentakata / Hotel

It's rare for tourists to go to the Tohoku (Northeast) Region of Japan except for Sendai (the capital). I've been there a couple of times for a design residency. It's good to use Rikuzentakata as the base. I highly recommend Hakoneyama Terrace. It has a nice view, they serve good food and the accommodation is good.

Tokyo / Cafe

This is my favorite go-to coffee shop in Tokyo. It's in a quiet and quaint space. I recommend trying their coffee and muffins. It's also right across a park and playground.

London / Graphic Designer

Seoul / Animator

Gyuri Cloe Lee is an independent animator/video artist who is based in Seoul, Korea. Many of her films examine the awkwardness created among seemingly unrelated, or simply misplaced things. Fascinated by heavily saturated color spectrum and unconventional storytelling, she often creates a surreal universe with no real sense of time and space, but somehow believable, and oddly charming. Her films have been shown at numerous festivals around the world. She has received her BFA in Film/Animation/Video at Rhode Island School of Design in 2017.

London / Illustrator

Norwegian illustrator based in London.

São Paulo / Art Director

Designer and illustrator based in São Paulo, Brazil. He do not consider himself an artist, but a person with artistic skills. Mixing medias and techniques in a continuous researching process looking for a true and original drawing style, or maybe just an excuse to keep drawing.
