multiple aynaku boracay travel illustration

In the Philippines, the western wind is called Habagat and the rainy season comes with it. The rains in Boracay were usually a bit oppressive to me, as the dullness went on for weeks, driving my mood to absolute lethargy; moreover I was running out of money quickly. All of us were waiting for new tourists to come, and waiting for their money too: finally art rescued me.
Silk-screen printing became an exciting activity, really more than a hobby! I bought good white cotton T-shirts and printed them with my own design…
Tourists, I reckoned, ought to like and buy my home printed T-shirts!
With no shop to run, I gave my multiple masterpieces to a local vendor who stuck them up his shop’s wall and said: “I’ll let you know…“
Nothing else to do but wait; I went back to my bungalow and kept on listening as usual, to the radio’s old sweetie American love-songs…

For sure, i would treasure a shirt handmade by you. I just wasn’t lucky enough to get one in those days!
Habagat was a time to read a good book, or visit friends whom you haven’t seen ‘coz of a busy summer. And if ’twas not that much rain, go to the mainland on a bike trek somewhere, … you won’t feel the “wait”.

Mica male le tue magliette, e molto simpatica l’illustrazione … allora che feedback sul Mac?
