With Cresencio “Bum” Tenorio

Those are REAL clay pots!!

With Rachelle Gerodias and Bum

New Wasted Story

Filed Under My Art, My Comics, Wasted | 9 Comments

When the Komikero Artists Group launched our (impossibly) regular series “Komikero Komiks Anthology” (now on it’s 6th issue) early last year, I thought I would create a new stand-alone WASTED story.

Autobiographical Comics in the Philippines

Filed Under Comics Artists, Filipino Artists, My Art, My Comics, Philippine Comics | 8 Comments

Autobiographical comics, or diary comics, is probably the one remaining genre of comics that have yet to be explored fully in Philippine comics. It is a genre virtually unheard of in the old industry, and it is a genre that very few modern day creators have tried.
Is it because Filipinos don’t really want to talk [...]

This is a short video interview with me conducted by Pepper Marcelo around 2005. This was initially intended to be a much bigger thing, with more artists and not just me in it, I was told. I don’t know exactly what happened, but Pepper decided to put this together so at least my part of [...]

Gerry Alanguilan’s Where Bold Stars Go to Die—which tells the story of young man named Daniel who is obsessed over a dead 80s bold star—is more than what it seems. Despite its title, it’s not just about bold stars.
