Alodia at Herocon
One of the crowd draws at the Hanep Hataw Hero 3 anime convention was the appearance of Filipina gamer Alodia Gosiengfiao and friends. They sold signed prints of their photoportraits as a fundraiser for their Freelance Art Society.
I particularly like this shot of Alodia at the Wasabi Toys booth. Girls and Gundams, what more could you ask for?
What’s really interesting here is that these girls sold a lot of prints even though most of their photoportraits are freely available online. That’s what Hugh MacLeod does with his cartoons. Alodia and her friends are proving and learning that, when it comes to digital goods, abundance leads to value.

honestly, mukha syang matrona dyan. to think she’s only 19.
She looks like Leah Dizon in that pic!!! wow cool background gunpla!
Leah Dizon, eh?
That’s interesting. She usually looks more like Sheree. In terms of endearing herself to otaku, however, she’s definitely the Filipina Shocotan.
Trent Reznor just sold out his new Creative Commons album in three days. That’s exactly what Alodia and friends did with their prints at Herocon.
