How long have you been making comic books?
The first time ko makagawa ng sarili kong comics nung grade 4 pa ako. I’m 31 years old na ngayon, ewan ko lang kung ilang taon na yun. Naging project lang namin yun sa art subject namin. Then after that nag-enjoy na ako. Hanggang highschool I made comics strips sa school news paper namin. Dun na din ako namulat sa mga Marvels and DC. Then nakalimutan ko lang nung nag college ako. I took up Mechanical Engineering kaya wala akong na-meet na may kaparehong interest. Bumalik lang ulit ako sa paggawa ng comics when I met Amely Grace Vidal (creator of Phantom Cat) online. Eto rin ang reason kung bakit ako nasali sa Bayan Knights.

Odd jobs, I know. I left when I started working on comics full-time. It was one of the biggest decisions I had to make and the most fruitful one.

What comic book project are most known for?
It would probably be PLANET HULK with the great Carlo Pagulayan. I have worked with him for three straight years and it was great. It was stressful at times juggling being a family man and an artist at the same time but it was really fun job though Carlo required you to do your utmost best to get the job done. It could really stress you out at times.

Together with friends, partners, and supporters we’ve managed to do a few comic book event such as the KomiksTrip, the 24-hour Comic Book Challenge, and the San Pablo Comics Festival (not to mention an upcoming comic book making body painting contest). We’re also helping out the organizers for the Cebu Comics Convention and the Philippine International Cartoons, Comics, and Animation (PICCA) Festival.

Suffice to say, we’ve been around and we got the bumps and bruises to show for it because, let me tell you: organizing a comic book event is not easy. During the bumpy ride however I’ve figured out quite a few things that work for me through the magic of trial and error (mostly errors) and I’d like to share them with you in the hopes that you’ll also start your own comic book event.

Comic Odyssey’s Eastwood branch is also on sale! So go and head on to the place and check out some cool stuff!

Also, arriving this week at Comic Odyssey at their Galleria store branch, Thursday, 8-19-2010: the Robinsons Malls ALL-OUT AUGUST SALE is now ongoing. From today until the end of August, save up to 50% OFF selected merchandise.

Also, make sure to check out Comic Odyssey’s back issue bins. All the comics in their bins, regardless of tagged price, is only going to be Php 50.00 each.

They will be restocking daily, so check often!
