Elmer Nominated at the 2011 Prix Asie-ACBD

Filed Under Elmer, My Art, My Comics, Philippine Comics | Comments Off

I only found out about it while browsing websites, when I came upon this site. Since the site was in French, I didn’t know exactly what it meant, even when I translated it through Google. I really don’t trust robot translators all that much. It wasn’t until Budjette Tan and my French publisher confirmed what [...]

Thanks, But I Didn’t Create Lastikman

Filed Under Comics Artists, Elmer, Philippine Comics | 3 Comments

I’m thankful that news of ELMER has gotten around the press, but I do want to address a grievous error that has accompanied it. Apparently, I’m being credited as being the creator of Lastikman. Which is just not true at all. Lastikman was created by Mars Ravelo long before I was born. And in my [...]

I actually found out about it last week when my publisher (SLG) sent an email congratulating me about it. I was asked not to share it yet until it was announced but for an entire week I was just reeling from the news. I still am. To be honest, it wasn’t something I really thought [...]

APRIL FOOL’S DAY POST #1: Work in Progress

Filed Under Elmer, My Art, My Comics | Comments Off

Working on ELMER has been a very rewarding experience. It was also very educational for me because I learned a few things about myself. One, I learned that I love drawing chickens, but I also learned that I had an embarrassing weakness drawing people. Perhaps one of the reasons I was successful with Elmer was [...]

Elmer #2 Video Diary (Tagalog)

Filed Under COMICS CONVENTIONS, Creating Comics, Elmer, My Art, My Comics, Video Blogs | Comments Off

Rummaging through old DVD-roms I stumbled upon a series of video diaries I took way back 2006 where I talked about creating Elmer #2. I had forgotten taking them and was only reminded when I saw the DVDs. Taking a deep breath to listen to them (I still can’t watch myself and my own voice [...]

From OMNIVORACIOUS: http://www.omnivoracious.com/2011/02/three-bloggers-blogging-on-gerry-alanquilans-graphic-novel-elmer.html “In the fall of last year, SLG released Gerry Alanguilan’s graphic novel Elmer, which had previously appeared in four comics volumes in the Philippines.

Chickens, Again.

The other day I decided to cook some rice pilaf. Now I don’t know what rice pilaf is. The first time I heard it was from Jack Tripper on Three’s Company. I saw it again on a few menus and during the last time I ate at Cibo. It’s just rice…. with stuff. Maybe rosemary. [...]
