Shit happens is Raymond Legaspi’s version of hilarious tragedy. It is a visual commentary of the fact that there is no perfect world in everyday life. Unfortunate events do saddle the day and these he illustrates in ironic, tongue-in-cheek colors in seven corpulent frames.

Raymond talks fondly about his art as his fun release with the brainstorming even more amusing than the actual rendering. The artist think in sketches and revels in what he considers as unlimited possibilities on canvas. He does not find the need to confine himself and his signature lighthearted is very apparent. While based in Bacolod, this collection is another vision of his world. He wants to entertain and for people to enjoy his pieces. He is not one to explain his work but if you get it, he says that it was painted for you.
