We’re back with the third leg of our Spotlight series in collaboration with Novice — this time shining in Antipolo. This episode also doubles as a teaser for Fresh Takes, Novice’s own creative talk that feels like TED Talk meets Graphika, but in an intimate setting built for raw, inspiring stories.

We sit down with Antipolo’s very own talents — Addi, Maddy, and Lloydie — homegrown illustrators and designers who share how their roots influence their craft. Together, we explore what it means to navigate the art scene as an Antipoleño: the challenges, the opportunities, and the urgent need for more creative hubs that can spark both cultural and economic growth.

Beyond the local perspective, this conversation also digs into the essentials of building a sustainable art career — from cultivating the right mindset, discipline, and balance, to staying authentic in a fast-paced, hyperconnected world.
