Komikon 2008

Filed Under Comics Artists, Elmer, Filipino Artists, My Comics, Online Comics, Philippine Comics, Timawa, Wasted | 12 Comments

By 12 noon it was already quite difficult to go around. There were that many people. I don’t have a headcount, but it’s quite plain to anyone who was there last year that this year’s crowd was just insane. I’ve had little opportunity to go around myself as I was almost completely tied to my [...]

Yeah, that’s right! Barry Windsor Smith Original Art!

Filed Under Comics Artists, Timawa | 5 Comments

And it’s all mine! And the strange thing is, I’ve had it for 10 years. At my parents’ house. Jammed inside my other junk in my old room. As anyone who knows me will know, I fall prostrate like a gibbering fan girl at the foot of Barry Windsor Smith. For those who don’t know [...]

Crazy October

Filed Under Books, Elmer, Movies, My Comics, Timawa | 6 Comments

October 2008 will go down in my personal history as one of the most eventful. I’d rather not mention the more sordid events, but I can say that I was horribly sick at the start of the month. It took me more than a week to recover. A week later, my wife Ilyn fell sick [...]

Elmered

Filed Under Elmer, Timawa | 14 Comments

Sorry for the lack of updates. All I’ve been doing lately has been ELMER. I won’t say I’m all Elmered out, because I’m not. As I get closer to finishing it, I’m getting kind of emotional. I’ll definitely miss these characters when I’m done, but I’ll be glad to have finished it. I like stories [...]

Researching

Filed Under Books, Elmer, Humanis Rex!, My Art, My Comics, Timawa | 16 Comments

This is a book I’ve been reading as research for a project I’ll be starting soon. I got it at a local Booksale for 15 pesos. I got hired for it a couple of months back, but since it won’t be out till next year, I actually haven’t gotten the script yet. In the meantime, [...]

Ibong Adarna Commission

Filed Under Elmer, My Art, Timawa | 10 Comments

This is the first thing I did after being sick. Took me a week to recover! Unfortunately, this means there’s no TIMAWA for the next issue of The Buzz. But there will be in the next one! Anyway, it’s back to work on Elmer #4. This thing comes out next month at the Komikon!

Hectic

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 [...]

Ninoy, Computer Coloring, and Contests

Filed Under My Art, My Comics, Timawa, Video Blogs | 5 Comments

This is my illustration for the Ninoy Art and Essays book. It’s different from anything I’ve done before so people who saw it didn’t recognize it was mine right away. The coloring of this was done on the computer, and I’m only starting to realize the almost infinite possibilities that one can do with manipulating [...]

El Indio Update

Filed Under Books, Elmer, Filipino Artists, Philippine Comics, Timawa | 9 Comments

Something is finally moving in the El Indio restoration project. As some of you know, Komikero Publishing has been working on the digital restoration of Francisco V. Coching’s classic 50′s comics-novel “El Indio” since 2004. Doing it in between deadlines, I scanned original comic book pages from the 50′s (the existence of the original illustrations [...]

One Year of TIMAWA

Filed Under My Comics, Timawa | 5 Comments

This August, with the release of The Buzz Magasin’s September issue, TIMAWA is on it’s first year of publication! This issue holds special significance for me, not only because of the one year landmark, but because it’s the debut of the SIDTAKA, the ruthless bad guys of the series. The SIDTAKA Warriors or as is [...]

Discon nected

Filed Under General, Timawa | 4 Comments

There’s supposed to be a few updates here by now, but my phone got disconnected. Stupid reasons really. Most significant is probably I got a million things on my mind right now, and the last thing I want to deal with are bills. Freaking fucking bills. I’d rather not see them, touch them, or even [...]

P-Noise, Indigo Valley, September 1995

Filed Under Comics Artists, Filipino Artists, My Comics, Philippine Comics, Timawa, Video Blogs | 3 Comments

P-Noise, obviously a take on “Pinoys”, first came to my attention through an “ashcan” or a small photocopied preview in the form of a mini comic. Their stuff came complete with trading cards, which I thought was kind of coo. I think I still have those somewhere. A year or so later, they finally came [...]

Alamat 101, December 1995

Filed Under My Art, My Comics, Philippine Comics, Timawa | 18 Comments

This is the back cover to Alamat 101, the follow up of sorts to Comics 101. When Comics 101 came out and Wasted #1 came with it, it was sort of expected that Wasted #2 would come with the second issue of Comics 101. There was still some hesitation in me to share Wasted so [...]

Free Comic Book Day 2008

Filed Under Comics Artists, Elmer, Filipino Artists, Komikero Group, My Comics, Philippine Comics, Timawa, Video Blogs | 25 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 [...]
