“The Barkada” Toy Series

Barkada in Tagalog means “a clique or a group of friends.”
The Barkada is a personal project about a gang of dogs who go on adventures on the streets of Manila. Inspired by the diverse street dogs of the Philippines (usually referred to as “aspins” or “askals”), this toy series derives a lot of influence from Filipino culture in a cute art style.
