Everybody’s Bes(31) Friend.

Starting today, I will now be making feature blogs of artists, specifically graphic and illustration ones. This one is inspired by articles made in PSDTuts.com. I will be featuring artists here and abroad, but I will try to focus more on artists here.

First stop, we have an artist that I see as one of the many bright spots of Philippine graphic design even though he is still now yet on the map. But I know he will given the chance. He is Rigil Kent B. Ariola a.k.a. Bes. He hails from Bacolod and is on his last year of college education. He is just 22 years young and is under the star sign of Sagittarius.

When asked to describe himself, I was able to get this answer:

“A wanna be porn star. A pseudo rock star. Mahilig mang-asar! (Joke lang yun.) Simple but intricately detailed. Professional Slacker/Loafer. Job Description: eat-sleep vice versa. Just like Spiderman and Superman, maintains a low profile on public. You’ll never know, I might be the one sitting next to you.”

He calls himself “artless.bum,” but I would like to disagree. Just look at some of his works and it will explain why I contradict him on this matter.

You can check his other works at his multiply site, Artless.Bum.
