Singil

The Kurosawa Fest was awesome! it's still ongoing, so for those who missed it. you owe it to yourself to watch at least one of Kurosawa-san's movies.

On to the preview (of sorts), haven't been posting any drawings lately. just so i can post something here is a 1 panel preview of the 8-page story i'm working on (for 5 months! ugh...) for The QBCCC (out hopefully this November).



Singil is a Filipino word that means "price quoted, charge or collection of payment of debt". a crime story. first comic story to be published, so yes very excited :)

Hope my co-editor won't kick my butt for posting this without asking his permission...

I (heart) Kurosawa!

Akira Kurosawa film fest! WOOOHOOO!!!

See you there...

Post-MCC Update

Metro Comic Con has come & gone. it was fun (way better than last year). got to buy some komiks. got an original piece of drawing. got to meet one off the QBCCC staff in person (say hi Mervin!). but it wasn't all just getting, gave away some QBCCC stickers & my Maskot fanart to Macoy.

Random komik reviews from MCC:
- School Run#2 - this was awesome as expected. the only complaint i have with this komik, is it was too darn short!
- Trese: Cadena de Amor (or something like that) - more fun adventures with Trese.
- Dra. Yap - had a great hook. execution was really not great. still fun read tho.
- Songs of the Lewenri - very Gaiman-esqe story. love the art.
- Bathala - great art. story didn't really click with me.
- Anak ng Tumang Itim 2 - short but sweet. great production quality.
- SSM 5.55 - free komik! thanks Chapel! crazy fun stuff.
- there are some other books i'm forgetting, anyway...

Been busy...
- with work, first and foremost. it has been taking up most of my life...
- intervening extra curricular activities :)
- doing the editor thing for The QBCCC. which is tiring & frustrating & fulfilling & fun & sad all at the same time.

Need to draw. double time. only have 2 months till the next Komikon.

*sigh*

Metro Comic Con 2010

KOMIKS!!! * looks inside wallet... :( *

Will be at MCC this Saturday only, along with Mervin (production dude for The QBCCC, 1st issue cover artist & creator of the aswang epic-to-be "Tabi Po"). we will be giving away FREE QBCCC stickers to those people who will ask for one. hehehe... just say "hi!" & introduce yourself :D

we only have a few of these (due to budgetary constraints), so we can only give one sticker per person. here it is...



Only the actual sticker is PINK!

Behold!

Cover for the 1st issue of The QBCCC...



by the amazingly talented Mervin Malonzo (check out his web comic "Tabi Po")

And the very, very cool logo. which i so love! this was just wonderfully done (by Mervs as well)...



So yeah, this simple idea which started on a message board is now real. yey!

Join us!

P.S.: 2 pages of my contribution for this is done. just need to get it approved by my co-editor.

Post-Birthday Report

Had an awesome birthday week (also added some pound sadly). Got some nice gifts (Vic Firth Drum Pad! thanks sweety!). Thank God for life!

Haven't been able to post any drawings in a long time. Work has been crazy. Still doing my contribution for The QBCCC. Progress on that is really slow. Will try to finish it this coming week. Hopefully i can still get Baro Investigations on track for the November Komikon.

A quote i read somewhere...
When I hear somebody sigh, "Life is hard," I am always tempted to ask, "Compared to what?" - Sydney J. Harris

:)

Tired...

Baro Investigations is currently not on track for its supposed November Komikon release. due to the fact that i am really swamped with work & doing my contribution for The QBCCC (of which i have completed a page & a half).

I need a vacation!

Randomness:
- Inception was amazing!
- Wanna watch Predators...
- Need some practice on the drums before Thursday (Lord help!)
- 99 HC book sale at National Bookstore. yey!
- Missing laptop charger (Lord help!)

The QBCCC FB page, Like it! :D

G'day mate!
