We certainly hope so!
After talking, wishing, and hoping of having this blog / e-zine created we now have SSISMO up and ready to go! So now that we’re here and you’re here, what can you expect? As stated in ISSUE ZERO of the e-zine, we’ll explore art, design and life in the Philippine context.
In the coming days, weeks, months and (hopefully) years, we’ll be covering design, art and everything in between and maybe throw in a few wild cards as well for good measure. We’ll be breaking news and writing features. Highlighting the best of the Philippines and shaming the worst. We’re sorry but someone’s gotta do it. Hehe!
Ultimately, the goal is to create awareness of the importance of design, art, and culture. And hopefully, to make our fellowmen and others around the world conscious of the environment that greatly influences them. These are lofty goals and ideals sure, but we’ll give it a shot.
Who are we? Currently, the staff is composed of former and current students of the College of Architecture of the University of Santo Tomas. Who do we want? Everyone or anyone with a general interest in art and design. If you wish to join us and would like to become a contributor, Email us! ssismo.artdesignlife[at]gmail.com.
So I guess that’s it for now, hope we hear from you guys soon!

Astig!
It’ll be good to hear about our own art&design scene from different people especially from those of us who’s behind the scenes.
So, what have we got to begin with? Will we be hearing more of the glories of our famed elders(maybe even the infamous ones)? Perhaps more anecdotes from our sleep deprived society whose common exercise is punctuated by a thumb violently hitting the space bar every so often? Surely, we’d love to hear hand-on experiences, say… with materials, a new shade of wenge & cherry wood; how such good planning made you tour the entire building without without ever noticing it; or how someone could actually stomach building something in pink and pastel blue!
to sum it up… I’d love to hear – correction – read about it.
