Illustrator Needed

Filed Under Comics Artists, Philippine Comics | 11 Comments

For a week or so now, representatives of PREDA Foundation having been inquiring after an illustrator who can work on a comic book they’re putting together. It seems that their need is urgent, and after private inquiries have turned up no illustrators available, I’m putting out an open call to anyone who might be interested to get in touch with either Fr. Shay Cullen (preda(at)info(dot)com(dot)ph) or Zosthenes Alicdan (zalicdan2(at)yahoo(dot)com).

    Sayang. Kung hindi lang ako busy ay papatusin ko. Mukhang it’s for a worthwhile cause kasi. Do you have any more details on what they need, Gerry?

    Reno,
    illustrator lang. may story na sila. here’s their exact e-mail to me:

    Hello, mr kc cordero, i’m zosthenes d. Alicdan of preda foundation, a child caring institution here in olongapo city. Mr gerry of komikero comics referred you to us because we have a project of publishing comics which will focus on children’s and women’s rights. We have already a good stories but unfortunately we don’t have an illustrator to do the art work.
    In connection with this, may we request you to do the illustration of our stories, moreso, if you are busy, would you mind to recommend someone to do the illustration? I will be happy to discuss more of this to you, so , is it ok that i can have your contact number? Mine is 0917 532 4453 or (047) 223 9629 or you may email me at zalicdan2@yahoo.com or predair@info.com.ph. You may check our website too at http://www.preda.org.
    I will appreciate much if you will reply soon.
    Thank you very much and may the god of eternal happiness be always with you.
    Zosthy

    Veteran illustrator Don Santos is very interested in this…

    I’ve already e-mailed them. If it’s short story work I may be able to squeeze it in. :)

    Thanks for the info, Gerry. And thanks, too, KC.

    Gerry,
    Hmmmm, what is this about the moribund state of Philippine Komiks? Apparently, this is not true of the illustrators. One can’t even hire an illustrator, that even our friend from Florida John Beatty is perturbed about this? Thank goodness, at least someone will barely be able to squeeze it in, apparently, everybody’s busy, busy, busy.

    Preda Foundation should be approached with caution!
    I point out here that the property was stolen by Shay Cullen and so admitted in his book “Passion and Power” which, incidentally, is NOT FOR SALE in the Philippines!
    More facts can be gleaned about Preda Foundation and the founder, Shay Cullen, from my web site http://www.preda-facts.info

    I’ll answer questions to any who visit my web site and wish to contact me for more information.

    Well, they never got back to me. If what Mr. Edmonds posted above is true, then that may be a good thing.

    Hi Guys,

    Please visit this link below to know more about Alan Dale Edmonds who is trying to destroy the good work of Preda Foundation. In fact he is suspected of child abuse.

    Below is a link for “Appeal for Support”, a Suggested letter to the Commissioner at the Bureau of Immigration.
