For the Great Filipino Laity

Mga Laikong Pilipino: Banal at Bayani!  Working on this theme, I went out designing a logo for the celebration of the CBCP declared Year of the Laity.  No official logo was coming out then, so I took myself to task of creating one.  Actually, this was meant only for our Transfiguration of Christ Parish in Antipolo City.  We had it printed on tarpaulins, t-shirts and stampitas.  Somehow, it caught the attention of others and asked if they could also use it.  I said: YES!

It simply represents the triumph and strength of what others see as "an ordinary lay person."  But behind the timid and shy hardworking laity stands the backbone of the Church - they who continue to lift high the Cross of Christ wherever they go and whatever they might be.  Mabuhay ang LAIKONG PINOY!

The "Pieta"

I love doing designs for t-shirts.  One of the latest designs I did was for a good friend who asked if I could again do the print (for the third straight year!) of the shirt of her Pieta for the Good Friday procession in our parish.  I was initially not interested in doing it because of the many things I was into at that time.  But the "artist" part of me caught up and at a certain point, I was on my drawing board happily enjoying whatever inspiration I was coming out with.  This came about - a not so sad Pieta, with colors and lines here and there.  Just was so happy with this.  Hope you are, too.
