Art hunt at BGC

The summer heat rages on – yes there's the occasional rain shower – but generally it's been a real pain to wander in this heat. Just thinking about the heat, mrt and traffic is making me not want to get out of the house. I think complaining about the state of our public transportation here in the city is exhausting because it just gets worse and worse. The silver lining – I guess – is that you sort of go on a mini tour whenever you go some place far, you know to save time and effort.

This day was jam-packed – to say the least. After fighting our way through the MRT with almost non-existent air-conditioning, Raph and I spent the fist half of the afternoon in Japan Foundation Manila to get our membership ID and get a bit of study time. And since we were already in Makati I insisted on spending the rest of the afternoon in Taguig. I've only been there twice and I really loved it. If only transportation isn't such a pain really I would be there every day!

There was a mural festival at the last week of May and I was following it via instagram. So I planned a sort of art hunt around BGC – we we're in a hunting mood. Raph and I have been watching seasons of Supernatural. It's about these two brothers who go out on a hunt for supernatural beings or phenomenons – so instead of ghosts we hunt for art. haha. I printed out a map of where these murals / street art were done based on what I got from Instagram. We didn't get all of them because we were so tired from walking and the heat was killing us.

On with the art then~

Artist: Anjo Bolarda / Location: Near timezone in Bonifacio High Street. I'm a great fan of his work. He's a really good artist. I have not been to any of his exhibits though because he usually does it at Vinyl on Vinyl gallery (Pasong Tamo) – it's so far ( T_T)

Street Art: Cebu

I took these shots inside the car while in the middle of traffic. There was an entire wall of street art but I couldn't get off the car to take a picture. *wah (T_T)* Cebu is a visual load of paint and art. Everywhere there were murals, street art, art etc. Electricity poles were painted to look like sticks of crayon. How cool is that?! I wish the local government invests in art more instead of campaign banners or product advertisements. I would love to see Philippine streets explode in art. Wouldn't you?! :)
