Four Pages From HULK

Filed Under My Art | 6 Comments

Not too long ago I had the opportunity to ink four pages of World War Hulks, HULK #23, written by Jeph Loeb, and pencilled by Leinil Francis Yu.

Tipping and Discounts, WTF?

Filed Under My Art | 15 Comments

I’m curious about the tradition of tipping at restaurants and hotels. In the US, tipping seems to be mandatory, while in the Philippines, it’s optional. In the US, you HAVE to tip or else the waiters come after you. If anyone is in the waiting biz, I’d like to know the rationale behind it. Aren’t [...]

The popularity of the Hey, Baby! video (below), retitled “Lakas Tama ni Manong” on Facebook was great for it gave me the opportunity to talk about Philippine comics to a nationwide audience.
