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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

Panel from Elmer #4
Work on Elmer #4 is underway, although at this very moment, I’m embroiled in finishing a Timawa deadline. I’ve taken a few suggestions, specially from regular visitor Rod Samonte, and I believe it’s helped me a lot in doing the seventh installment of Timawa, out with The Buzz Magasin at the [...]

Trip To Iloilo

Filed Under Elmer, My Comics | 17 Comments

The last time I was in Iloilo was around ten years ago for an Architect’s conference. I was really pleasantly surprised to see that a lot has changed. I’ve always wanted to come back because my stay the first time was such an enjoyable one. I’m glad to say that I enjoyed myself even more [...]

This news article came out towards the end of 2007 at the Philippine Daily Inquirer. I just had a lot of stuff going on so I wasn’t able to write about it until now.

Elmer and the Family

Filed Under Elmer, Family, My Comics | 4 Comments

One of the rare times our family is together in one place. This was taken on January 1, 2008, at our old house here in San Pablo. I suppose I shouldn’t call it an old house because after all, it was constructed in 1989. But it is the site of the house we used to [...]

First Real 2008 Post

Filed Under Elmer, General, Humanis Rex!, My Comics, Timawa | 10 Comments

The past couple of months have been a blur. As far as I’m concerned, yesterday was the end of 2007, and today is a new day, and a new year. It feels very much like a whole new, and whole different chapter in my life.
I worked like mad for the past several weeks just to [...]
