i found out a lot about myself as an "artist" the other night when madhouse project had a meeting with only five incorporate members. see a month ago, we took an overnight trip to tagaytay where we had a 'meeting' and we told ourselves that we would halt accepting any projects for the meantime so that we could rediscover our talents and combine it as one. and so we had a task for us that we were discussing the other night at the meeting.

each one of us sat in the 'hot seat' chair, while the others described our techniques and what they've noticed about the way we approach art.

what was scary about all this was the fact that they had realized stuff about me that i myself hadn't realized before. how these things about me are seen in the way i produce art or photography...not because i want things to look that way, but more of because it just goes with my personality.

it's funny how jerome mentioned that the one famous person that reminds him of me was bob marley. and during that meeting, they mentioned how i seem to be attracted to reggae colors. how everything i did was also relating to the rasta look...green, red, yellow and black. it goes with how i edit pictures. and it's funny, when i posed naked for mhikoy's lightpainting thesis, my body was green, the sword i was holding glowed a yellowish glow, my hair and the background was orange, and i posed as an amazon woman. something that mhikoy didn't make out to be rastafarian, we just noticed that that was the way i looked the other night...

we all had a realization that night.

and now we have to accept it and go with it. that's what's going to make us 'madhouse'.
