YouTurn : Jose Artemio "Jortz" Dimaculangan

Jose Artemio o mas kilala bilang Jortz ng kanyang mga kaibigan, isa sa mga inahangaan pagdating sa mahusay na paggawa sa vector illustration.

Paano ko nga ba nakilala si Jose Artemio o mas kilala bilang Jortz at bakit siya ang napili ko ifeature sa Youturn sa buwan ng Marso?

Kailan lang kami nagkakilala ng personal ni Jortz pero kahit paano ay nakapag-usap na kami via online, masasabi kong malaman an utak niya dahil kita naman siguro sa kanyang mga credential at talaga naman napahanga niya ako sa kanyang mga likhang vector, oo inaamin ko di ako kasing husay niya sa paggawa pero isa din sa mga pangarap ko ang makagawa ng ganung klaseng tirada. Kaya naman di ako nagdalawang isip pa na ifeature siya sa youturn malay natin mas dumami ang kliyente niya at mayroon mainspire sa kanyang mga gawa (you knowns di ba?), kaya anu pa ang hinihintay natin tara simulan na natin kilalanin si Jose Artemio Dimaculangan aka Jortz Dimaculangan.
