Last week, a friend asked me to create a vector art of our dear Mayor Rody Duterte to support her advocacy in encouraging him to run for Presidency. Okay, I'll be honest with you. I really don't like the idea of him running for President. You see, I, for one, love him so much that we don't want anything bad for our dear Mayor.
I have had six heart attacks. Pag presidente ako, I have to deal with Bangsamoro and may China pa. Mamatay ako. But if I can get Joma Sison, Nur Misuari, the Bangsamoro to agree, then I will run but they must drop their arms first. It will be an all inclusive government," -Duterte (source)
See? It would not be an easy task.
But if there is no other person who could go on par with his level of competency for the highest position in the government, then I'd definitely get myself registered again and vote for him as our leader (that is, if he runs).
I just hope Philippines is ready for his leadership. I hope the Filipinos know what they're getting into when asking for the iron fist to rule the nation - because that entails a lot of discipline. There is no way he can do this alone. If you want change, it will have to start with you.
Anyway, I did not create a vector art. I'm too preoccupied these days. I've got a logo to create for our business, a new design job for an app, and a lot more. Hence, I created a WPAP thinking it will just be easy. But I was so wrong. It took me a week to complete this. I've had a lot of stops in between and there were those times when I think of quitting because I really have no idea what direction I'm aiming for. Haha.
Here's for my very first WPAP: (I know I still have a lot to work on, like color harmony and stuff. But I think it's not that bad, is it?)
To give you an idea, here are some random, amzing WPAP art images I got from Google:

What is WPAP Art?
Wedha Abdul Rashid has worked as an illustrator for the press industry since the 1970s, developing portraits of important figures from all backgrounds: politicians, musicians, artists, and fictional characters.
In the early 90’s, Wedha started to illustrate faces formed by single lines and strong colors, inspired by the cubist style. He then proceeded to draw these faces according to true dimensions, using a mosaic of colors. (by talenthouse)

Deletehello, ms. sarah. i am nick from iloilo. can we ask your permission if we can use your art for our Duterte for president movement for our tshirt printing? ty
ReplyDeleteHi Nick! Sure you may! I think my friend also used this to print for her advocacy. Just hit me an email and I can send you a hi-resolution of this image without my signature. You can find my email at the Contact page.
DeleteYou really are talented! Are you sure it's your first time to do it? Great artwork! Make more!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :3 And for the nth time, yes this is my first time. I wish I have the time to make more. :)
Deletehi miss sara. i email you about this one. i hope to get a version for print also.it's only a matter of days before Duterte announces his candidacy. this is cool and i want to distribute shirts here as a way of showing him our support. thank you for this. you are awesome!
ReplyDelete-Reynan
Thank you! I'll check my email once I will be able to use my computer. And yes, I'll be sending you one that's ready for print. :)
DeleteDi na ko matingala. Amazing ka. Can I say the same? Sure ka first time ni nimo? Hahaha. Kinsa nagpaprint ani? Paapil ko bi.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Buing! Wala pa ko kita sa actual shirt. Si princess nagpaprint ani. Mangayo pud gani ko. Pero I doubt na sul-obon nako, murag di man jud sya mudagan. Hehe.
DeleteHello, Miss Sarah. Good day! This is awesome. I love it! You are very talented. Can we get a copy too? We'd like to print this for posters and this looks cool on t-shirts too. I hope to hear from you. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your posts by the way. =)
Thank you! Sure I can send you one. Just hit me an email (found at the Contact page). Thanks for dropping by! :)
DeleteAng cute ng name ng blog mo. hehe.. Anyway, I'm from QC but I've been to Davao and I really love it there. I felt safe when I was there and I really admire the cleanliness of the City. My husband and I wish Duterte to run for a higher position in the government, we just believe that he can do more if he gets elected. Nice art though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog. I love your comment it inspired me to continue blogging. I hope we can be blogger friends. I saved your link by the way! :)

Thank you! :) Actually, I still don't want him to run for President (selfish noh?) haha. But yes, I do believe in him, it's just that I don't believe in the people. He has a different way of ruling and I don't think people are ready for that. Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteAnd yes, of course! We can be friends. I've also bookmarked yours. :)
Hi, are you sure you're new at this? You nailed it though!
ReplyDeleteI have close relatives in Davao but I've never visited them haha. Maybe it's high time I did one of these days!
In this kind of art, yes! And yes, you should visit Davao sometimes, it's really great here. :)
Deletewould the Filipinos accept the fact that firecrackers/works would not be visible in the Philippine air? hehe
ReplyDeleteThat and a lot more laws that may seem absurd to many like smoking/liquor ban, speed limits, no videokes beyond 9pm, solid waste management (they won't collect your garbage if it's not segregated), etc. I don't think a lot of people can easily accept that. Anyway, thanks for dropping by! :)
Deleteis it really your first time? great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It does not really look like I've done it for the first time, does it? But for this kind of art (WPAP), yes it definitely is my first time. Thanks for dropping by! :)
DeleteFor me, when you are really happy doing something, there's a hint of what & who you are ---and that is passion and I like it!
ReplyDeleteCan I share the WPAP to my group Dabawenyo Ka Kung?
Sure you may! Thanks! :)
DeleteWPAP looks cool. Very colorful ang arts. You dud good on your first WPAP. I bet next time will be better, just keep practicing. And will vote for Duterte for president.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, I will keep practicing. ;)
DeleteWPAP art is cool and I wish I can learn how to do this one too. It is like Andy Warhol Art :)
ReplyDeleteYeah it's cool It's just recently that I came to know this kind of art. :)
DeleteThis is a very interesting form of art. You should go on doing it as it appears you have the natural inclination towards it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) It is interesting indeed.
Deletewow, you did great at it. Oh, I love Duterte!!! Sana tumakbo syang Pres this election. He's the reason why my husband and I registered to COMELEC. haha.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) Well, if it's God's will, he'll run. :)
DeleteI want to make a family portrait at wpap-art or make one for my friends and have it printed and send as gift.
ReplyDeleteGo! That is a great idea!
DeleteThis is a new kind of art that's interesting as it's made of single lines and strong colors only. I love how it looks like paint. How long does it take to finish one WPAP like that you made?
ReplyDeleteIt took me a week to finish it. But roughly, maybe 4 hours overall. I didn't really gave a lot of time to work on this per day because I got frustrated easily. Haha. But I'm glad I made it. :)
DeleteI like Duterte because f what he did to Davao but it is now a bit confusing if he wants to be president or not.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't want to run but the people want him to. Maybe he's still weighing it. And like he says, if God permits, then he'll run. :)
DeleteGosh! These are stunning! I wish I knew how to make vector art din Alyssa's Struggle for Sanity
ReplyDeleteIt can be learned, if you're willing to practice. :)
Deletevery nice! guto ko din ng ganyan :D
ReplyDelete~aMz/aiMee http://amz88.blogspot.com/
Thank you! Pwede na man itong matutunan ;)
DeleteYou are really good at it! But on the other hand if Duterte will run as president I will support him over Binay. But If Poe will files his candidacy as president I will surely supporting poe over duterte. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Filipinos have different bets. But let's all pray for the best this incoming presidential elections. :)
DeleteNice art work! Regarding Duterte, i've only heard good things about him, but not so much to trust him. I hope there will be time for people to know enough about the candidates this coming election to be able to choose wisely.
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's what the Philippines need right now, people who are informed well enough for the incoming elections. Thanks for dropping by! :)
DeleteThis is so amazing, i had to look closely and see how it was done. What software are you using?
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I will definitely vote for president if he will run.
Thank you! I am using Adobe Illustrator for this. :)
Deleteang galing! naghahanap ako ng artwork ni duterte at ito ang pinakanagustuhan ko. sayang at di na sya tatakbo. pero pwede ko bang gamitin na dp ito dahil di pa ako nawawalan ng pag-asa na tatakbo sya ngayong halalan.
