Hellen Jo “Aswang Ghost” Watercolor Print

Posted on June 9, 2010 by Moye

Yum, newborn infant blood! According to artist Hellen Jo, an “aswang” is a shapeshifting Filipino vampire who feeds off of unborn babies and enjoys passing the time by flying around with no legs and hunting for pregnant women. Sounds like a blast! Her watercolor print ($25) is the perfect combination of Asian ghostly scare and chubby baby love… right?

About Moye

I am a Japanese-American girl who was born, raised and is most probably stuck in traffic right this second in Los Angeles. I'm currently one of the co-editors of 8Asians and like to distract myself with good food, reading long books, playing video games, catching up on celebrity news, choosing my new new haircut and then writing all about it on Hello Moye and sometimes here on Twitter if I can get it in under 140 words or less.
