Komikero Group, Elmer #4, BSG

Filed Under Elmer, Komikero Group, My Comics | 5 Comments

Jonas Diego writes an excellent post about the Komikero Artists Group here. We were just talking during FCBD about holding a Komikero meeting in Manila, and for some reason, I immediately recoiled from the idea without really expressing it until I wrote about it in my last blog entry. I really can’t find anything to [...]

Free Comic Book Day 2008

Filed Under Comics Artists, Elmer, Filipino Artists, Komikero Group, My Comics, Philippine Comics, Timawa, Video Blogs | 21 Comments

It was my first time to participate actively in Free Comic Book Day. Last year when I was drawing “The Black Cat” for Graphic Classics, I didn’t realize it was for FCBD. For years the Graphic Classics gigs were things I did and greatly enjoyed, but it seems hardly anyone saw them locally. I’ve so [...]

“Impossible”

Filed Under Family, General, My Comics | 14 Comments

There was a time when I believed working in comics wouldn’t be possible. Superman and Batman and the X-Men were just things I read, created by god-like people in some fantasy land. Well, I was very young back then and my view of the world was still quite limited. Inspired by the comics I read, [...]

What’s Up, Sunday?

The puppies are turning out to be a noisy bunch. Well, one of them at least. After a week of observing them, I’m now very aware of what their individual characteristics are. Boney (the less hairy one) seems to be more independent and smart. She’s also more affectionate, but at the same time the first [...]

They’re selling me. And I don’t even use an Apple. Maybe I should start.

The newest issue of the Buzz Magasin (May 2008 cover date) has just been released, and it includes part 7 of TIMAWA. I’m kind of happy with what I’ve done in this installment. Must have been all [...]

Slight Update, Free Comic Book Day

Filed Under My Comics | 5 Comments

You would have probably noticed slight updates to the design of the blog. I realized that there might be people who come here who have no idea who I am so I thought I’d place some info on the left column. I added a clickable gallery of my work right at the very top, and [...]

Sindak #1 is Out!

Filed Under Filipino Artists, My Comics, Philippine Comics | 4 Comments

KC Cordero informed me yesterday that Sindak had already been released, specially in the provinces and asked me to check out if there were copies in San Pablo. True enough, I saw Sindak in at least two places on the sidewalk on the way to the public market.
Browsing through it, it kind of reminded me [...]

Some Me Time, TIMAWA #7!

Filed Under My Comics, Timawa | 1 Comment

Regina Posadas did an interview with me a few months back which now appears on the March-April 2008 issue of MoneySense Magazine. At first I was puzzled why they chose to interview me, as I’ve made many decisions in my life which may well be considered by the more practically minded as financially dubious. [...]

Filed Under Dr. Rizal, Elmer, My Comics, Timawa | 9 Comments

Apologies to everyone who had been waiting for this. This was scheduled to appear in Fudge Magazine last August 2007, soon after the serialization of Humanis Rex finished. But for various reasons it’s publication was delayed. The editors still wanted it and were figuring out a way to make it happen. In the meantime, more [...]
