And because Kayo was deeply involved in the event, busy attending to its many details, the kids and I had to uproot ourselves Read More

She handles the roller brush with ease and climbs the scaffolds like a dancer. He's the master of detail, giving life to the characters they create. They are dynamic duo, Hera and Akut, street artists from Germany who are famous around the globe for their brilliantly poetic and astoundingly beautiful wall paintings. They came to Manila last week, August 3-11, and held an exhibit at Vinyl on Vinyl, live painting sessions at Fully Booked, BGC and talks at a couple of universities. Kayo (Thanks to his job. Check Honeycomb here) had the awesome privilege of filming them during their entire trip so Read More
