Kuwentong Musmos Interviews: Illustrators of Team Lampara

Early in April, I rounded up the blog interviews of authors of Team Lampara who participated in the Kuwentong Musmos Workshop in Bohol. This time, the blog interviews of the illustrators of Team Lampara are put together in one post. They too have stories to tell and their advice for aspiring illustrators is meant to inspire and give hope.

Jamie Bauza illustrator of Masaya Maging Ako encourages the aspiring illustrator to keep on practicing. As the saying goes, practice make sperfect!

Pepot Zamora Atienza illustrator of Ang Nanay Kong Drayber learned to trust the creative process to enjoy the art and the making of art.

Lui Buan illustrator of Ang Alaga Kong Lolo advises aspiring artists "to know thy self". An understanding of one's strength and weakness lead to continuous growth personally and professionally.

Luis "Ito" Chua illustrator of Kiko Kitikiti shares the importance of joining organizations like Ang Illustrator ng Kabataan for professional support and networking.

Angela Taguiang illustrator of Ang Batang Papet believes that technical skills alone does not make an artist. Emotions and expressions in a work of art matters a lot.

This coming week, the blog begins featuring yet another team of authors and illustrators from the Kuwentong Musmos Workshops of Room to Read.
