I personally admire Dan Matutina, a creative director of a young and active Philippine based advertising agency, for exercising his creativity and skills in art while contributing something to help  the community or the environment. His company, Ideals, together with his other talented friends provide advertising services to non-government organizations in the Philippines.

His fun, brightly colored illustrations depict issues which are prominent in the society and always have deep meanings to them. Whether it's about the global warming, the president's government, woman rights, or youth activism projects, expect Dan to come up with something that is really compelling without being too drastic.

If he's not busy changing the world with his colored pens, you can probably find him lurking around his Behance account scouting for new inspirations or saving kingdoms in the World of warcraft.

If some kids are born with a silver spoon on their mouth, Hannah Liongoren must have been born with colored pencils and oil pastels in her hands.

Growing up under the minds of her artist parents and two creative brothers Avid and Eric who are both known to be successful on their respected fields, it's no wonder why Hannah has been recognized as a young achiever in the Philippines at such a young age.

After graduation, Hannah has streched her creative wings and dove into the diverse world of illustration and fine arts. She has worked along side her brothers to collaborate on videos and fashion projects. She has also put up a small business venture called Bawal Movement which has services ranging from brand and identity design to accessory design to toy design to interior design. Despite her busy schedule, Hannah still finds time to work for a brighter future with her friends for their charity project called Manikako.

Gaktikol or more locally known as Ivan Despi is a talented Filipino Illustrator, Animator, and Director of his own motion graphic studio The Acid House. His animation studio has been known to pioneer Broadcast design in the Philippines creating one well designed and conceptualized OBBs (Opening Billboard) for local TV shows to another.

Aside from broadcast design, his studio also provides services for 3d and 2d animation and motion graphics incorporating more of Ivan's illustration styles and color/design techniques. When not busy at work, he keeps his creatvity refreshed by working on pieces of artworks and posting them on his deviantART or takes photos with his Nikon and puts on show in his Multiply page.

Having James and the giant peach as one of his favorite childrens books, Brian Vallesteros not only delights the young with his wonderful illustrations but the young at hearts as well with his superb sketches and his pastel colors. His surreal wondrous characters has lead him to be one of the sought after children's book illustrator and concept artworker in the Philippines.

Aside from his deviant art, Brian is also actively involved in a community of illustrators for the youth (Illustrador ng Kabataan) in Manila. His favorite musicians based on his deviant art profile include mandalay, lamb, radiohead, tori amos, coldplay, star bodixa, and the killers.
