renaissance @ megamall: pics n stuff

-
renaissance artist and sanduguan creator ner pedrina was already setting up when i arrived. nice standees.


my own setup. did some shelf-clearing by selling off old books.


seatmates: mike "boy ipis" ignacio with fellow bayan knights, gio "kalayaan" paredes, omeng "lipad" estanislao, and ner.



gio getting some TV love. his star is definitely on the rise. later that day he was approached about a planned halimaw sculpture based on his kalayaan character.


the real stars of the show: the renaissance artists, thronged by autograph and sketch seekers. proceeds from the sketches went to the family of late komiks artist arlan esmena. the rest will go to other komiks artists in need.


the silent sanctum guys sure know how to set up a supercool booth: 1.) play stephen chow movie on laptop...


...2.) have manny pacquiao conquer castle greyskull. apparently, he has the power.


alfredo alcala exhibit. awesome stuff. but my favorite piece was this:


is he the most-seen komiks artist ever, or what?


my goodies. BURNE HOGARTH'S TARZAN OMG!



and i finally got this little guy to keep me company while i work.

    Hey, found this post by accident. :) I hope you don't mind, but I saved and uploaded the sixth picture in this post to my FB because my friend and I are in it. She's the one getting her portrait drawn. I credited you, of course, but I thought you might want to know.

    Thank you,
    Hope Swann

    sorry man, there's only one of them and it's all mine :D

    but if you really want one, you can try commissioning omeng to make one for you:

thank you all you beautiful people who dropped by the indie tiangge and bought my stuff at yesterday's summerkon. school run #1 sold out, both the "DVD copy" (inkjet print) and "kuha sa sinehan" (photocopy) versions. you guys are awesome. look out for the second chapter at metrocon in august. i didn't have time to buy all the titles i wanted, but at least i got free stuff from chapel and josel nicolas . also did tradesies with mel casipit ( baboy 2 ), hazel manzano ( callwork 2: proud callboy ), lady storykeeper ( dragon kid 2 ) and michael david ( kubori kikiam 7 ): pop culture maven adam david remarked on the quality and variety of this year's indie releases. it's an exciting time! my setup, with the school run cover going camo against the red tablecloth. the indie tables were arranged in a circle and situated in a corner this year, so anyone who got there late had to face the wall, just like in kindergarten. i lucked out because gio paredes g...

25 komiks titles' best-sellerness

-

so there's this thing where you type in the title of your book, and they tell you its chances of becoming a best-seller based on just the title itself. naturally i took it 100% seriously and plugged in a bunch of komiks titles. the scores are arranged from highest to lowest below. i threw in a few control values as well ( in bold ) just to compare: kiko machine - 72.5% funny komiks - 69.0% ang alamat ng pangit - 69.0% a tale of two cities (best-selling novel of all time) - 63.7% pugad baboy - 63.7% wasted - 63.7 % after eden - 63.7 % culture crash - 59.3% bayan knights - 59.3% kalayaan - 59.3% bearkdowns - 59.3% pilipino komiks - 45.6% lapu-lapu - 45.6% kubori kikiam - 45.6% elmer - 45.6% trese (name) - 45.6% nardong tae - 45.6% ang mundo ni andong agimat - 41.4% Ang Kagila-gilalas na Pakikipagsapalaran ni Zsazsa Zaturnnah - 41.4% the bible - 35.9% Album ng mga Kabalbalan ni Kenkoy - 35.9% mangaholix - 35.9% ang maskot - 35.9% operasyon -35.9% bukas luluhod ang mga tala - 26.3% ...

read the first two chapters of "ang panday"

-

the pinoy superheroes universe blog marked FPJ's sixth death anniversary by featuring the character many of us associate with him the most: ang panday. among the tidbits and video clips presented by aris panganiban is a link to the first two chapters of the 70's komiks series. here's page one: in these first two chapters, flavio is really just a small-town do-gooder rather than a fantasy world messiah. all he does is beat up a trio of local thugs and tie them to a tree for the constabulary to find. no magic swords, no manananggal nor sand ninjas, no max alvarado. his weapon or choice is a sledgehammer and his catchphrase is "tinutuwid ang matitigas na bakal!" fourteen chapters later , he's recovering from some mishap at some mansion. still no sword n' sorcery to be seen, but he does engage in some alarmingly freudian tag-team tree-chopping with a man who knows his "secret".
