Sexbomb Jopay

It was 2005 when I saw her standing somewhere and I made this sketch without her knowing. I had only seven minutes to draw before she left with her group. I met her again in Puerto Galera in 2007 where we were introduced and I let the lovely dancer sign this one.

Single chance






This is a short story I wrote and illustrated for a comicbook almost a decade ago. Strange how people tend to meet after a long long time and feelings tend to bend. I think that if hope remains in the heart of one who loves, time will grant him and his love a new meeting and his love will have another chance!

Purple lady

I drew this one while being lazy at work. So probably a lazy-looking monster also manifested thru my ink.

The Curfew


I drew this one during the late 90's and still hadn't figured out where to use it! I had it scanned yesterday and introduced it to color!

Architecture


My partner, Dominic, at GREEPO comic group is an architect. Like me he has a fascination to comics and animation. We met in 1994 when we were college freshmen. We met again after a year as classmates in a physics class and that gave birth to a friendship as well as an ambition. We came up with stories later on and decided to create and publish our own comicbooks. It's been years and too many pages yet publication remains a dream. He still gets better everyday while I had to work at odd jobs to get my daily bread. He drew this one in 1997.

Sugat ng Bayani (a hero's wound)

I had sometime working as an animator before. I actually did some tweening for "One Piece" and a few other TV TOEI anime such as "poor sisters" and "Precure Splash Star," etc. This video is totally my pen so after painting a few Backgrounds and drawing a few hundred cells I spent countless hours putting them all together using my old beat-up pc. I came up with a 10-minute video all in all and this is just a fragment.

It was in 1997 when I wrote and drew the first pages of the comicbook of the same title and it, up to this point just as the animation, remains unpublished. I had approached the 2 largest TV networks in the Philippines regarding this but they broke my heart!

It's free to dream but it appears like our dream gave us more pain than necessary. I've heard that we had the right dream but the Philippines is not the right place to cater to such ambitions. What a horrible insight but so far, it remains true for us as we are still holding on.

Listen to a great singer


I'm beginning to feel like I'm gonna love this blog stuff a lot! Have you heard of Hayley Westenra? This girl has a heavenly voice! I was hooked the first time I heard her sing!
I know this post is definitely odd for my blog but I think that as long as artists are seekers of inspiration then I'd like to share this particular inspiration that burns in my breast everytime I hear her! It makes me feel like I can become a better artist and a better person especially when I listen to her song: "Heaven."
Check her out!!!

Poor Artists cant PUBLISH Comicbooks


You're looking at the covers of our comicbooks entitled "the Curfew" and "Armageddon." Dominic and I have been working on our comics since 1993 but we were so poor we couldnt afford the publishing cost and getting a sponsor is also next to impossible as the medium is being undervalued where we lived. We already had atleast 400 pages of story and art. We wish to get published soon with a lot of help, of course. Any recommendation guys?

Erinys


We've just started this Blog. We have a bunch of artworks we'd like to promote via internet and we are still working on the scans. this pic here is a cartoon of my team called Erinys. theyre not artists except for Miss Chiqui- the girl up on the tree wearing Pink-. This is not my usual art technique but I do this as a past-time.
