Gripo Reboot

Naisakatuparan na po ng GREEPO Comics at matagumpay na naitawid ang unang pagtitipon-tipon ng mga dakilang anak ng sining at mga nagmamahal sa komiks sa pamamagitan ng FB3C o First Baguio City Comics Convention! At dahil po sa kaganapang ito ay napagbuklod ang maraming mga malikhaing isip na magtataguyod ng ilang pagbabago patungo sa muling pagsibol ng industriya ng komiks, lalo na dito sa Siyudad ng Baguio kung saan mararamdaman talaga na isa na lamang multo ang komiks.

Gripo reboot ang itinawag namin sa aming pinakabagong proyekto kung saan susubukan naming ipalaganap ang komiks sa mga lansangan ng Baguio City. Kaya reboot ay dahil ang Gripo comics ay dati na naming nailathala bilang isang Indie comics sa aking pakikipagsapalaran sa mga comics conventions na ginaganap sa kamaynilaan at ngayon ay muli naming ilalathala sa panibagong ayos at panibagong paraan ng paglalantad sa publiko.

Simula sa buwan ng Agosto ay magiging laman na ng bangketa ang Gripo komiks at ilan pang komiks na nilikha ng mga anak ng sining ng Baguio City! Ang mga kuwento na inaasahang magpaganda sa mga pahina nito ay ang “Sugat ng Bayani,” “Sex and Sorcery,” “The Curfew,” “Goto King,” “MXP,” atbp.

Kasalukuyan po kaming naghahanap pa ng mga kontribusyon o mga ambag mula sa mga taong nagmamahal sa komiks upang lalong mapadali ang aming paglalathala at muling pagbibigay-buhay sa naghihikahos na industriya ng komiks.

In Hot Purse Suit

I've been asked a lot by my former students and some friends to post my stories online! Darn it! All those years waiting for paper publication had taken it's toll on this poor artist! Well here it is anyhow. I'll let you read at a lower resolution, hehehe!

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.
