  • I was asked to create a design for a music event supporting indie bands all over the Phillippines. So i came up with this design, inspired from the imagery of the common symbol of freedom
     
    Rationale: I was inspired from the Melodious Babbler  (Malacopteron palawanense) ,It is endemic to the Philippines.Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and It is threatened by habitat loss. It is described to be very vocal but very shy and hard to see. What's wonderful about this bird is it can sing a 5-note rhythmic whistle. So somehow resembles the qualities of indie bands and musicians.( very shy, rare to find and very musical) so i used it in the drawing holding an electric guitar, similar to the dove with a laurel leaf on its beak.
