Taking a Short Break
Filed Under Family, General, ORAS MO NA! | 5 Comments
Due to things happening at home, I’m once again sad to report that this week’s ORAS MO NA! will be delayed a week. Can’t be helped. I guess there’s just some things you want to put ahead of others. And this is one of those times. By the way, new visitors to this site please [...]

Just a Small ELMER Update
Filed Under Elmer, My Comics | 6 Comments
This is an entry in my daily online comic strip which I am posting here because it has something a bit to do with ELMER. Not really directly related, but significant to me personally. My online strip is going strong three weeks running, and it has sort of evolved from the first time I did [...]

What Makes Me Say, “It Feels Great To Be Filipino!”?
Filed Under General, Philippine Comics | 17 Comments
Tagged by Jonas (and this time glad to be), it took me only a short while to reflect what makes me feel great… what makes me feel proud to be a Filipino. EDSA 1986 Coching. Alcala. Niño. Redondo. The greatest of them all. Rizal. A personal hero. Tagging Rene, Adam, Kuya, Rafael, and Dennis.

ELMER at Sketch Magazine #32
Filed Under Elmer, My Comics, Video Blogs | 1 Comment
A few months ago Sketch Magazine editor Bill Nichols got in touch with me about doing something for the magazine. Since I’m no longer inking and heavily into doing my own stuff, specially ELMER, I proposed the idea of doing an article on how I put together one page of ELMER from writing to laying [...]

Just updating you all about this project and let you know that it has not been forgotten, and in fact work is ongoing on it on a regular basis. I’ve taken on an assistant, Zara Macandili, to help me restore the pages, who is working on El Indio at least 2 days a week, wherein [...]

Before anything else, just a quick link to Ilyn’s blog in which she has something important to say for all our friends. Thanks! ************ It was never in my mind to do a full scale restoration of Rudy Florese’s ORAS MO NA! I just intended to scan the pages, fix the contrast, hue and saturation [...]

For many years I’ve resisted the idea of doing comics on the web while sporadically attempting it nevertheless. I’m pretty attached to the notion of always having my comics on paper, reading them while lying in bed during a rainy day, and it wouldn’t matter if there was no electricity. Even now during typhoons when [...]

Preparing for this series has pretty much taken most of my working time the last few days. For those looking for ORAS MO NA!, I truly apologize. I’ve colored all but one page of Part 7, but I’ve decided, upon the suggestion of Ilyn, to just release it this Thursday. The artwork above is the [...]

Filipino Video Bloggers Part 1
Filed Under Video Blogs | 10 Comments
Although I had a You Tube account as early as February of 2006, I didn’t start making video blogs until “Komikero Video Blog #1“, several months later in July. By “video blogging” I mean sitting in front of the camera and talking, offering views, opinions, stories etc., very much like the standard blogs many people [...]

The End of Humanis Rex!
Filed Under Humanis Rex!, My Comics | 10 Comments
Humanis Rex! was a proposal I’ve had in mind for many years. It was part of a proposal package I sent to a local newspaper for their Sunday color strips. That didn’t push through for one reason or another, and I proposed it again to another publication, this time a hobby magazine. Unfortunately the magazine [...]

Taking Up A New Habit
Filed Under General, My Comics | 6 Comments
I’ve taken the habit of heading straight to my drawing table and drawing something for a full hour before I even wash my face, brush my teeth, open the computer or have breakfast. I’ve learned that if I do this, it puts me in the mood to draw the entire day. Before I used to [...]
