#ashfall project

Right before the pandemic hit the globe, Luzon in the Philippines suffered from a volcano eruption that caused ashfall in several provinces. A bunch of Filipino artists got together to raise funds by selling a zine and illustrated postcards. We each chose a beloved tourist spot in the Philippines. Here's mine: Vigan, Ilocos Sur. It was a memorable time of mask-wearing and community initiatives that, kinda eerily, preceded the pandemic. We worked so hard to release it during Feb 2020 Komiket, on top of our own con preparations. It's one of the reasons that that Komiket will always be memorable to me.

On the noon of January 12, 2020, Taal Volcano had a phreatic eruption (steam based) and caused ash fall to neighboring towns and even made it up til Metro Manila (capital) causing sudden evacuations, flight and work cancellations. From alert level 1, within a day, the alert level escalated to level 4 which means there’s still imminent danger of violent eruption in the coming days/ months. There were no signs of eruption previously. Up til now Taal Volcano is in Alert Lv. 4 and has displaced a lot of towns around the volcano and is needing our help.
