Hello! I’m an Englishman of Filipino descent living in Sweden. I paint pictures exploring ancestral memory and what it means to be part of a diaspora. What it is to not belong anywhere whilst belonging everywhere.
Cold and dark as a penguins arsehole in Sweden now. To celebrate the summer that was and all the ones to come here are some (very) quick sketches of people (mostly day drinking ’muricans) at the beach. #sketchbook #pencil #drawing #beach #muricans

I live 500 meters from work. On a good day I hear 1 full song on my walk to work. Sometimes I choose, sometimes the algorithm does. The song of the day 06/10-2025 is ’Nights Introlude’ by Nightmares on Wax open.spotify.com/track/5I6jxF... #music #musicsky #songoftheday @listageplaylists.bsky.social

Part of my ongoing project about a cacophony of thoughts, a select few being: the impact of colonialism on the colonised, ancestral memory, what it means to be a part of a #diaspora… not belonging anywhere… belonging everywhere, How the ancient trade routes connected us all… and the list goes on.

This is the painting that started it all. A portrait of Inang and Tatang. Painting this felt like I was spending time with them. Up until this point my work never really meant anything.
