Jeuz Sumangil, a 22-year-old AB Multimedia Arts student from the University of Mindanao, bested over 3,600 artists from all over the world to emerge as one of the five grand winners in Talenthouse’s “Venom” alternative poster competition.
The global contest was a collaboration between Talenthouse, a prestigious online community of creators and art appreciators and the Venom Team led by actor Tom Hardy who stars in the film as Eddie Brock/Venom. Tom Hardy himself selected the final five winners, the four coming from the US, Japan, Indonesia and Ecuador.
Jeuz shares that he got excited when he saw that the creative invite was for ‘Venom’. “Kasi pag sinabing Venom character, ang unang maiisip mo talaga is mabangis, malupit, kaya nakaka excite i- illustrate. However, due to my school load, I wasn’t able to immediately create.” Fortunately, the deadline was a month after the invite, giving Jeuz enough time to finish his entry.
Jeuz had learned about Talenthouse last February through his college professor, Sir James Racho, who is also a graphic artist. “Sabi nya try ko lang daw, kasi maraming magagaling at sobrang worth it ng prizes,” shares Jeuz.
