The Custom Life Media

23/05/2026

Some artists find one medium and stay there. Tita Keks never really did. From tattooing to painting and sign work, she creates through whatever feels right in the moment.
Long before it became work, art was already part of her everyday life. It was something she naturally carried with her, and until now, that same curiosity and honesty still shape the way she creates.

This is just a small glimpse into the story behind Tita Keks.
Read her full story in Issue 2 of our magazine.

Based in Tarlac City, Fron Moto’s connection to motorcycles extends through riding, collecting, photography, and content creation, where each interest naturally informs the other. Riding in Cambodia introduced a deeper sense of awareness and discipline on the road, shaping the perspective he carries with him today.

Through collecting and photography, he pays close attention to the presence, detail, and character each machine holds, seeing motorcycles not only as vehicles but as subjects with their own stories and identities. In our conversation, Fron shares his thoughts on riding, collecting with intention, and the sense of freedom that continues to pull him back to the road.

Patricia Cariño paints, tattoos, and rides. Her paintings feel playful and familiar, almost like pages from a children’s drawing book, while her tattoos take a more delicate direction, often inspired by botanical forms and her love for plants and growing things. Art is how she processes what she feels, the place she always finds her way back to, and between motherhood and the creative life she shares with her husband Armando, it’s what holds everything together. Riding came later, learned over three days in the garage with Armando, and brought with it a freedom she still remembers from her first time out on the highway.
