We all have them. Traits. Funny, irritating, sweet, or self-improving, each person has a trait unique to them.
For Traits are portraits of traits that Alburoto and Jesse Camacho attack energetically. Each in their own style capture the annoying, the thoughtful, the bracing honesty.
Alburoto aka Aldrin Tamidles is a social-commentary pop surrealist. His works usually feature grumpy, rebellious children in darkly funny situations. He was born in Kawit, Cavite and is currently still studying.
As a pop surrealist, Jesse Camacho mixes fairy tales, strange creatures, and nature to weave vibrant stories through art that reflect his emotional state. He believes that it is in stories that we can find refuge from these troubled times.
