WASTED in CEBU!

Filed Under COMICS CONVENTIONS, Wasted | 3 Comments

The Cebu Comicon is going to be on August 16-17 at the J Centere Mall, Fortuna St, Bakilid in Mandaue, Cebu City. Although I would very much like to attend this one (I was there for the first one in 2010), I would be unable to attend this time around. However, my newly republished comic [...]

Summer Komikon 2013 Report

Filed Under Comic Book Signings, Comics Artists, COMICS CONVENTIONS, Filipino Artists, Philippine Comics, Photographs, Video Blogs, Wasted | 20 Comments

Click for Larger Image. Photo by Skyworld. “Insane” is such an overused word to describe Komikon. I used that word a lot. But I’m honestly at a loss to use any other word to perfectly describe it. Well, perhaps “INSANER” would be apt. Because that’s just how it was. This thing just keeps getting bigger [...]

Summer Komikon 2013

Filed Under Comic Book Signings, Comics Artists, COMICS CONVENTIONS, My Art, My Comics, Philippine Comics, Wasted | 3 Comments

This Saturday is Summer Komikon 2013. By all indications, the biggest Summer Komikon so far. This is based on the amount of new releases, and the increased amount of exhibitor space that can be seen on the map. They’re also starting to regularly feature foreign creators as guests! I can already tell that the Bayanihan [...]

Elmer #1 Japanese Translation

Filed Under Elmer, Internet, My Art, My Comics, Online Comics, Philippine Comics, Wasted | 6 Comments

Out of the blue a week or so ago, I was approached by a Japanese going by the name of Harukichi (he gave me his real name but I think he prefers to be called by his handle), who said he had bought and read ELMER and seeing that Elmer #1 was being offered for [...]

It’s just a few hours away from 2012, and as usual at this time, I try to think of all the things I was a part of during the past year. I have to say that it’s been a great year for me. I would have to say it’s one of my best years ever. [...]

Comics and National Book Store

Filed Under Elmer, My Art, My Comics, Wasted | 6 Comments

National Book Store and I have had a very long comics related relationship. Back when I was just a kid living in San Pablo, our family would go to Manila monthly to buy groceries, eat out, and to just browse stores. Our favorite place to go to was almost always Makati. Makati back then wasn’t [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

New Wasted Story

Filed Under My Art, My Comics, Wasted | 9 Comments

When the Komikero Artists Group launched our (impossibly) regular series “Komikero Komiks Anthology” (now on it’s 6th issue) early last year, I thought I would create a new stand-alone WASTED story. I’ve always tried to avoid creating anything new with regards to Wasted because I wanted to create new things, other things. Having been happy [...]
