About suntoksabwan:

I used to think I was an artist. I believed in that notion so much that I even made it into the Artexpress Exhibit in Australia (Main Exhibit, NSW Gallery, 1994).

But when I went to college at the University of the Philippines, I was convinced by the need to be practical to think I was not an artist. Instead, I directed my education towards a career in government.

It's difficult not being able to create a drawing, a picture or a piece of literature every now and then. There was always a welling need to put a scene on paper. Because of this, drawing, writing and even photography had become therapeutic for me. Without my mediums, I'd be living with an itch I couldn't possibly scratch for the rest of my life.

Now I'm thinking, perhaps I'm an artist after all. If not, then how come I get these annoying urges to put together scenes in my head and get them out on paper?

So I enrolled myself at an art course in the University of the Philippines. Immediately, I began thinking that I should have done that a long long time ago.

Here I am now, trying to relearn things all over again. Trying to believe that I am really an artist after all.
