June 2 Ruminating

Filed Under Dr. Rizal, Humanis Rex!, Komikero Group, My Art, My Comics, Timawa, Video Blogs | 3 Comments

It feels weird that at the end of the month there’s no Timawa for me to work on. For the past two years I’ve devoted this time of the month to do the comics series for The Buzz and I have to admit, I kind of miss doing it. But part of me [...]

But Seriously….

Filed Under Dr. Rizal, My Art, My Comics, Philippine Comics | 10 Comments

Yes, it was an April Fool’s Day gag. I’ve done it here for the past several years. It’s getting harder and harder to make a gag that would make people believe. After all, I have cried WOLF! too many times during this particular day.
I think the secret lies in not making it too fantastic and [...]

Larger Than I Thought

Filed Under Dr. Rizal, Elmer, My Comics, Philippine Comics, Timawa | 19 Comments

In my previous post, I mentioned how huge Philippine comics will be in 2009 in terms of events. There’s the two Komikons, one in May and another in October, then there’s the Manila Comic-Con in August, Mangaholix in November, then the San Pablo Comics Festival in December.
After a meeting I had today with Mr. Hugo [...]

2008: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Filed Under Comics Artists, Dr. Rizal, Elmer, Filipino Artists, My Art, My Comics, Philippine Comics, Timawa, Video Blogs | 9 Comments

There are many things in Philippine comics that happened this year that I can distill into a few distinct events. I counted 5 (or so I thought), which I already listed for the ComicsReporter.com site, but I felt I need to expound on it here as there are plenty more to say.
2008 saw the release [...]

That’s a photo from the signing at the opening of Planet X last Saturday. More photos from Budjette Tan, Jonas Diego, norby ela, Andrew, Angie Dumalus, and Richard Esguerra.
The last three days have been incredibly hectic. It’s only a preview of what my October is looking like. There’s tons of things to do. In [...]

The Marvelous Adventures of the Amazing Dr. Rizal Update

Filed Under Dr. Rizal, Elmer, My Comics, Timawa | 11 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 [...]

My 2007. I Hated It.

Filed Under Dr. Rizal, Elmer, Filipino Artists, Humanis Rex!, My Comics, Online Comics, Philippine Comics, Timawa | 9 Comments

In my earlier post I mentioned that it would be my last update for 2007. It turns out I had something more to say with only one day to go before 2008. I want to get all this out of my system before a new year comes rolling along so I can talk about something [...]

Watch this video on You Tube, Live Video and for a much higher resolution (and downloadable), Multiply.
Music is “Lupang Sinira” by Pol Galang.
I recorded the music from FM radio, LA 105.9 in 1993 to cassette tape. The early 90’s was truly a great era in original Filipino music when you heard songs like THAT [...]

TIMAWA, Amazing Dr. Rizal Updates

Filed Under Dr. Rizal, My Comics, Timawa, Video Blogs | 6 Comments

It looks like I’ll be doing new Timawa stories far sooner than I expected. I great opportunity fell on my lap to do Timawa the way I want to, and I really have to have a go at it. It’s going to be tight, work wise, but that’s allright. I had set aside a bit [...]

My Drawing Tools

Filed Under Dr. Rizal, Elmer, Humanis Rex!, My Comics | 15 Comments

Arno from the comments section asked me about my drawing tools and I thought I’d post a scan of some of the things I use to create my comics.

I use a variety of tools, combinations of which differ with the kinds of projects I do. From the top, the first thing there is a Staedtler [...]

Photo Crest Huts and other Things

Filed Under Dr. Rizal, My Comics, Online Comics, Video Blogs | 11 Comments

I’m really having fun with the new Crest Hut Butt Shop online. Not having to actually draw it, and having my own font to letter it, it’s actually nice creating these comic strips from photographs. Photographs have been entering into the strip a few times over the past couple of months, so when time [...]
