Oh-Wheezers: Graphika Manila 2010 - Part 2 of 8 : Arnold & Cynthia Arre's love for Art

The first speakers of the event was husband and wife, Arnold and Cynthia Arre, graduates of U.P. College of Fine Arts. They previously worked in the advertising field but gave it up to make way for their home-based studio.

Cynthia Arre is a freelance graphic designer and an experienced art director. She loves making illustrations. She has created designs for the music industry, magazine layouts, and website layout and coding.

Meanwhile, Arnold Arre is well-known for this graphic novels such as the The Mythology Class (1999), Trip to Tagaytay (2000), After Eden (2002), Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat (2006) and his current novel called Martial Law Babies.

He does collaborative works both local and foreign where he did the pencils and the inking.

(Left) Arnold did the cover art for Graphic Classics Volume 5 Jack London; (Right) He did the pencil and ink in his collaboration with Lastikman.

Currently, he is working on a film he has written and directed called "Kaye for Komiks".

On with Arnold and Cynthia's speech... They gave an inspirational talk dividing ideas in bite sizes. I already knew what they were talking about but I still had to listen 'cause viewpoints from person to person is different.

They even included some nifty quotes between the lecture.

"Vision is the art of seeing the invisible." - Jonathan Swift

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." - Pablo Picasso

I had fun with their speech making it less formal by making jokes. Everything was well laid out. Their works are remarkable and they are an inspiration to all.

As Arnold & Cynthia Arre left the stage, we await our next speaker...
