Bruha Baddies

Based out of Las Vegas and raised in the Philippines, Paulo Pambustan (@kooya_creativestudios) and Maica Pambustan (@katha_minatures) are miniatures artists and makers of dioramas. Paulo is inspired by horror and lore. Maica specializes in polymer clay and cozy art. They love to interchange their specialties! Their art is inspired by an array of iconic pieces, lore, and landscapes from Filipino culture. Tune in to this episode of Bruha Baddies how they arrived at their craft and how they met each other.
