I got my very first e-mail address "timawa@laguna.net" (no longer valid) since November of 1996. I still had no computer at ... http://gerry.alanguilan.com/archives/475 Gerry Alanguilan at Free Comic Book Day Event http://www.inquirer.net/vdo/player.php?vid=739 Alex Villafania's video interview with me during Free Comic Book Day is finally uploaded at the Inquirer.net VDO site. Thanks Alex! http://gerry.alanguilan.com/archives/473 Jonas Diego writes an excellent post about the Komikero Artists Group here. We were just talking during FCBD about holding a Komikero meeting in Manila, and for some reason, I immediately recoiled from the idea without really expressing it until I wrote about it in my last blog entry. I ... http://gerry.alanguilan.com/archives/472 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.

I still feel a very ... http://gerry.alanguilan.com/archives/468 This is a particularly long interview, the longest one I've done yet.

There might be one or two visitors to my site who might know who he is, but I think most won't. I've never talked about him before anywhere, and I've never really counted him as an influence in any way. Danny Federici died last April 17, 2008, and ... http://gerry.alanguilan.com/archives/464 In the light of this example, I'm curious as to how you can really protect your work online.
