End of October

Filed Under Internet, My Art, My Comics, Video Blogs | Comments Off

November is just around the corner and pretty soon, it’s 2012! 2011 has been another eventful year for me personally. A LOT of changes. A few health issues have forced me to look very closely at and prioritize the most important things in life. Family and work, basically. In that order. I lost a LOT [...]

Whew! The day I had yesterday was amazing. I woke up at 5 in the morning. Slept again. Woke up again at 5:30 because I remembered I had to BE somewhere really important. Me and Ilyn were out of the house and on the way to Manila by 6:30. Stopped over somewhere along the highway [...]

It’s Thursday today and in two days will be the launching of the Elmer 2nd Edition book. To be quite honest, I’m rather nervous. Will people show? Well, hopefully! By this time a lot of people would have had their copies already, but I know there’s quite a few who haven’t yet, and have asked [...]

Comics and National Book Store

Filed Under Elmer, My Art, My Comics, Wasted | 6 Comments

National Book Store and I have had a very long comics related relationship. Back when I was just a kid living in San Pablo, our family would go to Manila monthly to buy groceries, eat out, and to just browse stores. Our favorite place to go to was almost always Makati. Makati back then wasn’t [...]

Can I Send You Questions?

Filed Under General, My Art, My Comics | 2 Comments

There are times in the year when I get a flurry of emails from students asking to interview me for their projects and thesis. More often than not, they spread out at least 20 questions, many of which are similar between each other, requiring me to sit down and answer individually, typing the same things [...]

My San Diego Comic-con Experience, 2011

Filed Under COMICS CONVENTIONS, My Art, My Comics | 48 Comments

Going to San Diego, California for the Comic-con this year was probably the last thing on my mind last April. I did somewhat feel in 2010 that I ought to go in 2011, but looking seriously at my finances, I knew it wouldn’t be possible. It became more obvious when I browsed for plane tickets [...]
