What have I been up to? Well, speaking for today at least, I’m recovering from this disgustingly hideous fucking boil that’s decided to erupt on my butt. Now that may seem funny to you, but it isn’t. It really isn’t. Since I spend a lot of my time sitting down writing and drawing, taking a [...]

The crowd at Komikon yesterday, right on top of this post, just to give you an idea of how crazy it was. I was taken quite by surprise by the sheer amount of people who showed up. Having gone to this thing for years, I have a fair idea of the amount of people who [...]

Arlan and Me Drawing

Filed Under Bold Star, Comics Artists, Creating Comics, Elmer, My Art, My Comics, Philippine Comics | Comments Off

Rummaging through my old hard drive I found this video I had forgotten was shot, of Arlan drawing a page from “Where Bold Stars Go To Die” and me drawing Elmer while we listen to a comics podcast and trade ideas and stories. It’s a relatively quiet moment, intense as we were on what we [...]

Remembering Arlan

Filed Under Bold Star, Filipino Artists, General | 20 Comments

When Komikero Ryan Toledo posted this photo up at his Facebook, I couldn’t help but shed a tear. It’s been a while since I saw a “new” old photo of Arlan, and it reminded me of just how much I missed him. Those of you who bought “Where Bold Stars Go To Die” know Arlan [...]

It’s May 25… what’s UP?

It’s been a while since my last update. I’ve been busy inking Avengers, as well as a few pages of Hulk somewhere in there. For a couple of days last week I was flat on my back because of a few bastard biscuits that didn’t seem to agree with me. It spawned all kinds of [...]

Thank You

I want to thank the organizers of yesterday’s Renaissance event, all the artists gave their time to do sketches, Leinil Francis Yu, and all the people who came and supported us. It was completely unexpected that the money generated from the sketches, as well as Leinil’s sketchbooks and original artwork, was eventually donated towards the [...]

February 18, 2010 Arlan passed away at 5:30 this morning. :( Thanks for all your comments. Arlan was very appreciative of all the messages posted for him on this blog. I printed out the comments and gave it to him, and he read them all himself just a few days ago. The Art of Arlan [...]

Flat in Bed

Filed Under Bold Star, Books, General, Internet | 8 Comments

The last couple of days I was flat in bed with fever and an erupting stomach. I missed the Komikero meeting last Sunday. I wasn’t able to work, which bummed me the most. I’m feeling a bit all right today to start working again, and there’s lots of stuff to do. But for a couple [...]
