Jeepney Clothing’s feature artist

Got featured as one of Jeepney Clothing’s Featured Artists. Does this set the stage for seeing some Baybayin artwork on one of Jeepney Clothing’s shirts?

Baybayin in everyday life

People often ask me why it’s important to know Baybayin. I get a strange look on their face when I tell the I don’t think it’s really important to know the script. Before a Baybayin fan, I’m a realist 1st. There are far more important things Pinoys in the Philippines should be learning. If your lucky enough to practice Baybayin and want to incorporate your culture in everyday life, try changing your signature to Baybayin.

Below is my drivers license. Turned out well considering the digital pad didn’t output your signature so I can verify the strokes/kudlit (didn’t show) much like the credit card terminals you see at stores. Signing blindly was tough.

Baybayin motion analysis experiment

Here are some photos of my initial Baybayin motion analysis.

The thickness of the line is based on your handwriting speed. Faster = thinner and Slower = thicker. The dust particles fly off the lines based on your stoke speed and direction. The 3D aspect is based on time as it moves away from the line stroke.

The representation of the tag is a data visualization of the hand motion. The line thickness is based on speed; the faster the movement the thinner the line. The particles are thrown off based on changes in speed and direction, and are intended to visually emphasize the movement. Time acts as the third dimension and moves linearly away from the drawing point.

Looking at the end result, looks like most of the motion is from the Ka character. Makes sense since it has the most motion. It was probably due to the cursive style I used. Stay tuned for a 17 character analysis.

Want to see some test video? Check it out on the Baybayin Facebook page.
