Wipe Out

Filed Under COMICS CONVENTIONS, Dr. Rizal | 3 Comments

Guys… apologies for the lack of updates. The trip to San Diego had been extraordinarily exhausting and it’s taken me at the very least two weeks to almost fully recover. There were days back there that I literally couldn’t stand up. But I’ll be back posting regularly soon, and once again begin posting my “100 [...]

It’s the evening of January 1, 2011 as I write this, feeling slightly depressed. Unlike many people, I loved 2010 and I’m sad to see it go. I understand that 2010 was a bad year for a lot of folks, but it was a very good year for me. It’s quite a relief because 2007 [...]

End of the Year Bearing Down

Filed Under Dr. Rizal, My Art, My Comics | 6 Comments

I’m currently inking Ultimate Comics Avengers Vol 4 #1, in between Superior #4 and 5. Taking more inking jobs is insane, but I don’t mind. I don’t get to ink all the pages because Leinil’s pencils are absolutely intense with details, but it seems they got pretty good inkers to help out. Now all this [...]

There have been many comic book events in the Philippines in 2010, but by far the biggest one of them all is the annual KOMIKON, now going strong on its 6th straight year! It’s being held TODAY, Saturday, November 13 at the Star Mall in Mandaluyong. Doors open at 10am. Last year was a huge [...]

“Pinoy Komiks” at St. Paul University, Manila

Filed Under Dr. Rizal, Elmer, Humanis Rex!, My Art, My Comics, Philippine Comics, Photographs, Timawa, Video Blogs, Wasted | 13 Comments

Last July 10, 2010, I was invited to attend the freshmen initiation at the St. Paul University in Manila. The theme of their initiation was “Pinoy Komiks”, and I had been invited to give a talk on the history and the state of the Philippine comics industry. I did not hesitate to agree because more [...]

The issue is already out, and Leinil Francis Yu and I will be launching the title tomorrow during Free Comic Book Day, at Comic Odyssey, Robinson’s Galleria. We’ll be signing, along with Edgar Tadeo, and possibly Jay Anacleto, from 1-3pm. [...]

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 is happy [...]

But Seriously….

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
