So excited to share ✨Maskara✨, a zine born from a shared love for vintage bootleg palengke masks!

Erv Saguiped, the founder of the amazing Vintage Ju**ie Manila and Karma Collective Manila (and a dedicated thrifter and hoarder since ‘04!), has poured his passion into curating this collection.

Each pencil-signed and numbered riso-printed zine is bound with a rubber band, a nod to how we used to wear these iconic masks as kids.

If you’re a fellow Palengke mask enthusiast, we’d love to connect and talk about it!

𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗝𝗶𝘄𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝗵𝗶𝗺 is an artist from Seoul, South Korea. She was inspired to draw 𝘼𝙩𝙤𝙢 (𝘼𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤 𝘽𝙤𝙮) and 𝙈𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖 as subjects representative of Japan’s global influence and cultural power despite having originated from the tragic aftermath of World War 2.

“They are now a part of our collective conscious and identity to the point of evoking childhood nostalgia around the world. There’s empowerment in the fantasy of being a superhero who can fly or a giant monster that tears down the same skyscrapers that tower over us. As an artist, I’m obsessed with how globalization and materialism inform identity and our coping mechanisms for modern existence.”

Maria-Ni(cole) Ikonomou

“I am a self-taught illustrator, maximalist, and q***r Third Culture Kid, born in Australia and living in Brooklyn. My artwork explores the in-between and other-worldly spaces, the feelings you can’t quite name, and the things that aren’t as they first appear to be. For the last 1.5 years, I’ve been working on a project called “Affirmations I wish I told myself when I was younger,” a series of 15 drawings and companion diary entries that explores the question: if you could meet your child self, what would you say?

I’ve had chronic pain in my hands for about ten years; my process is slow, shaky, and still my salvation. I’m a ghost writer by day but drawing lets me speak when words aren’t enough.”

Image 1:

I’ve always wondered what my household trinkets get up to when I go to sleep 👀 🛌🌌🧸🎪🌈🎈🪄🪞💞 These are the things that make my house my home (my heart)

tl;dr 💌🗝️ We moved around a lot growing up and lived in a lot of places. Every house was different but our furniture and trinkets came with us every time. We didn’t have a particular city to call “home,” but I knew how I felt when I saw our things. My friends! We’re here. We’re home.

Image 2:

My face is beautiful when I am understood.

tl;dr I think that everyone you meet is kind of like a mirror. They pull out different parts of you, make different parts of you feel seen. You get to decide who lives in your fun house 🎪

Vyolet Jin is an award-winning Chinese illustrator based in New York. She loves to break the rules by drawing her subjects through a playful lens, turning ordinary objects into whimsical, not-so-serious forms. Her work captures emotional energy and transforms it into blooming, chaotic fireworks.

Vyolet is most inspired by her own emotions and feelings — from self-doubt to joy — as seen in her Unconfident Girl series. She also draws from small, charming details in everyday life, like those found in The Heart Diary, blending vulnerability and cuteness into vivid, character-driven worlds.

Owen Madigan - “I am born and raised New Yorker who graduated from The Pratt Institute in May 2022 with a BFA in Photography. I have created work in the fields of film, collage, silkscreen, and sound. My art practice is incredibly influenced by the way my city moves and the fleeting moments that I am able to experience in it. An integral part of it is transforming it into editions of zines or photo books.“

Celest Laviña is an interdisciplinary artist from Manila, endlessly exploring her special interest in colorful, playful experimental art and music. She plays around with different mediums, traditional or digital, letting each moment guide her process. Her work is deeply inspired by the raw beauty and magic of living her most authentic and spiritually-rooted life filled with nature, friendship, divine energy, and love despite the chaos. Her vibrant creations serve as psychedelic portals that reveal the whimsical world of wonder that already exists around us - only if we choose to notice, look closely and listen carefully.

Look into her Sun & Moon Portals to catch a glimpse of one of her life’s most pivotal moments — living in Zambales with her friends, her found family. These prints are a love letter to the sacred stillness and surreal joy of finding a nature sanctuary during the peak of the pandemic, truly a tough time for everyone. Each layer holds fragments of that journey, a chapter that shaped her into the person she is today.

Kosmos.Khaos is an Art Director/Designer based in the Philippines. He is part of the Indigenous Peoples of the Philippines and a Gen Z Manobo who uses art as an aegis. Inspired by otherworldly ideas and the cosmos, His art is also based on relationships with Astrology, Esoteric, Tribal Imagery, Spiritual symbolism, and Divination.

“Buhay-Patay-Buhay”, 2020

“Buhay - Patay - Buhay” (Life - Death - Life) is inspired by the agimat and the anting-anting, a Filipino system of sorcery and the arcane with special use of charms and talismans. It plays on the idea of reincarnation, where it refers to the belief that an aspect of all living beings continue to exist after death. Filipinos believe that when you have agimat, you will be protected from harm and evil.
