! Important !

Hello this is not something I usually post here but please help me spread awareness. If you don't know what's happening in the art community in my country (the Philippines) let me show you this.

Currently Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. commonly known as Bongbong Marcos/BBM is leading the presidential race. BBM is the son of Ferdinand Marcos (the 10th president of the PH) he was known for his corruption and brutality.

Because of this many foreign clients are cancelling art commission from Filo artists (with some claiming they "don't want to support someone who supports a dictator")

I just want to make it clear that not all of us voted for him and not all of us supports him. Many Filipinos are grieving right now because they don't want the Marcoses to rule the PH again.

I don't do commissions but I have friends who do and I can see how people cancelling greatly affects them. Most of these artist rely on art to earn. Most Filo artist also rely on foreign commissions since the value of art here is dirt cheap.

Please support us. Please don't make assumptions and cancel a commission without hearing the artist's side first.

If you're a filo artist please feel free to share your commissions.

I'm sorry for posting too much about the elections here but I really don't know what to do anymore.
