Megumi "Moog" Takebayashi Tomas
Moog is a Filipino-Japanese artist from Manila, based in Torotno. She creates works that revolve around the self-made term "ANATOMALY" which is a combination of the words anatomy and anomaly, and it stands for the fear and fascination of the body and all things biological.
The ANATOMALY series has been ongoing since 2023 and since then, Moog has created a collective of artists who dabble with similar subject matters and the collective is releasing their first zine in December 2024.
With Moog's fascination of the body, it is no surprise that she ultimately became a tattoo artist. In addition to her education details a degree in Experimental Animation with OCAD, she is someone who actively pursues multiple avenues for her art to be known. Notably, her work "The Original Expereince" which is featured in the Light up the Dark Exhibition of the Aga Khan Museum, exemplifies her diversity of skill in not only illustration but animation as well.
