csz97 graphika manila birthday trip Last weekend, me and my cousin, Wella, went to Manila for the Graphika Manila conference. It's also my birthday the following day so we extended our stay so i could enjoy my birthday there. I really had so much fun and i will never get enough of Manila. So enough talk, here's a photo-story of my trip :)

One of the things included in the conference kit is the GM Bopk. I submitted three artworks and I was so ecstatic when they included this one in the book ^_^

The conference was very inspiring. Some speakers were not that exciting but the last one, GMunk, really amazed us with his works from the film Tron Legacy.

There were 6 LED Screens for the presentation. I like it much better before when they had it in the cinema with the huge screen.
