Deviant(art) Filipinos

If I’d had access to deviantart and a scanner in my high school days, I think it might have taken me more than four years to graduate: the heady mix of art, peer review and community (with a smattering of e-commerce opportunities) could have jealously devoured my time, free and otherwise.

Since screen-names are the norm on deviantart, it can be tough to find Filipino artists, so I thought I’d list a few of my favorites.

• Kevin Lapeña

• Honoel A. Ibardolaza

• Kriss Sison

• Jerry delarosa Maninang

• Wilson Tortosa

• Jennyson Allan Borlongan Rosero

• David Alegre

• John Irving L. Prudenciano

• Teddy Pavon

• Chester Ocampo

• Franklin Vincent

• Sachsen

• Dana Martinez

• Ian Cang

• Lynsley Brito

• Neil Arguelles

• Brian Joseph Valeza

• Ruben de Vela

• Pat Aguasin

• Meru

• Demitasse-lover

I filled out the list above with the help of the following sites/ DA groups/news items as starting points:

Itsura Manga – this wonderful site also has interviews with several of the abovementioned artists.
