There’s more to Philippine street culture than what you already think you know. CLAVEL looks past the streets and turns its appreciation to the nitty gritty finery of the art and architecture of today. With its latest issue’s cover graced by the lovely Kookai Sarmiento and of course, the new-age masterpiece makers behind “The Ant Chair”, Jagnus Design Studio. Art and architecture combined.
Delve into the various arts we know today and discover more about tattoo-Dutdutan master, Martin Caoile, custom surfboard shaper, James Gabriel, dark-horse painter and artist, Igan D’Bayan, and not to mention a couple of design CEOs, each in his own right: Autobots Autoworks’ Randy Lao, and Tretorn’s newest CEO, Markus Wonko.
We’ve also got an art collector in our midst but with a fun twist: Miguel Ledesma collects vinyl art toys specifically, the Dunny.
What’s art without soul music by jazz veterans, Radioactive Sago Project (who spilled a few secrets), and up-and-comers Lions and Acrobats (who spilled a few beers).
Speaking of beers, we found our favorite new watering hole for cheap beer and crazy-delicious street tacos: El Chupacabra in Makati. It’s no myth.
We’ve got a lot to show and more to tell within our latest issue’s glossy pages including the fiercely beautiful, Elaine Carag, adventurer and fixie rider, Sok Palisoc, and we’ve got word on where you can get that much needed coffee table, check out Urban Abode in Ortigas Home Depot.
Don’t miss out.
Get cultured. Grab a copy.
