 Caloy Mapua started drawing before he could write. His mother, Beth, remembers that from the age of three, he would always be holding a pencil and a sketchbook. His favorite past-time has always been drawing. His girlfriend is even a ‘manga’ character in his sketchbook.
So it was no surprise 16 year old Caloy bested many of his Indian counterparts in the All-India National Graphic Contests held recently in New Delhi. More Pinoy teener bests Indian students in national competition (Photo: abscbnnews.com) |

 A thirty-year-old US Based Filipina artist wins again in an international art competition.
Sherie Sta. Cruz-Sloane, a Filipino artist residing in Illinois bested hundreds of entries in the recent Strathmore ATC & ACEO International Exhibition and Art Competition held in Reno, Nevada.
ATCs and ACEOs stand for Artist Trading Cards and Art Cards Editions and Originals. These are individual art miniatures with 2.5 by 3.5 inch size. Some sources have credited M. Vänçi Stirnemann, who began trading sessions in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1997, as popularizing these miniature arts in the modern era, although modern ATCs and ACEOs can be traced back to portrait miniatures and to a kind of business card popular with Impressionistic era artists.

 Drawing to pass the time while in the US Army, Rhu Bigay turned his favorite hobby into a profession.
A mini art gallery
Entering the Concord, California residence of aviation artist Rhu Bigay, I immediately feel like I have just stepped into a mini art gallery. His works adorn the walls, stacks of books are piled on one side of the living room (Rhu uses them for research) and adjacent to it stands a new painting that he is currently working on. Boxes of posters are also neatly placed on a shelf next to the kitchen, which holds replicas of Rhu’s paintings that are sold at art shows.
