1.) stanley chi and the front act crew were at last month's PICCA fest doing their thing that they do, which means i can now claim to have officially been on TV... for like three seconds (beware crappy vid quality): the PICCA bit starts at 4:36, and i make my appearance at around 6:42. there's also a second part with more komikon bites at 6:24 and 12:00, but i'm not in it so w/e. 2.) game! magazine's october issue also acknowledged that i exist... ...in the most economical way possible. 3.) astig TV did a series of interviews featuring us sulyap komiks people, but the video's not embeddable so you'll have to go here to see how awkward and weird and fidgety i am in person. 4.) finally and most recently, poc.net's paolo chikiamco caught the tail-end of our panel interview at komikon last weekend, and posted some video to accompany his excellent komikon asessment . EDIT: the latest issue of wow! pinas magazine did a feature on ko...

this is me: this is me kicking myself for missing the third day of PICCA... ...while my erstwhile table-mates like gio paredes, mel casipit, tepai pascual, maika ezawa, lady storykeeper and the rest of the invited indie komiks people were selling out their comics. grrr. what's more, i missed the pick-up for the comic quest komiks consignments, so, no new outlet for me. oh well. at least i got to hang out with such cool people. and i have pictures. mel let me read part of his 300+page anime-inspired fantasy epic mukat . in a pathetic attempt to stir up some business i offered free caricatures. it wasn't until i added the "no purchase necessary" part that people actually started asking to be drawn. during day two we exchanged fanart. here's what i got: reyes/boy ipis by tepai pascual taal lake monster by mel casipit and lady storykeeper turns maki into a real girl. as i am typing this i am staring at a big box of unsold komiks. komikon, you are my only hope. EDIT: ...

a group of indie komiks people, myself included, will be at PICCA fest next weekend at SM north. i don't have the exact lineup, but a booth for "mainstream and indie comics creators" is listed under the trade show page of the official site. we'll be there for three days, friday to sunday. drop by if you can! PICCA Trade Show October 22-24 4th floor, CyberZone SM Annex, SM City North EDSA
