Rocket Kapre – Fantastic Filipino Speculative Fiction

If I’d had access to deviantart and a scanner in my high school days, I think it might have taken me more than four years to graduate: the heady mix of art, peer review and community (with a smattering of e-commerce opportunities) could have jealously devoured my time, free and otherwise.

It can be tough to find Filipino artists, so I thought I’d list a few of my favorites, as compiled from posts on the Bahay Talinhaga blog here and here.
