—Filipino creativity goes to China as Art of Pronch (), Art of Patoo (), and Chomkee Mart () represent the Philippines at the GAF Shanghai International Illustration Art Expo this May 1–3 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Each brings a distinct visual voice shaped by play, identity, and contemporary culture, contributing to a broader global showcase of illustration. 🇵🇭✨

GAF Illustration Art Fair (.official) is one of Asia’s leading illustration expos, gathering artists, studios, and publishers from around the world for exhibitions, artist booths, and creative exchange. With this year’s theme, The Spiral Moment, the event frames creativity as momentum—where ideas build, break, and take flight.
