I was on my way to work this morning, as usual catching the train to work. In my zeal to board the train before the doors close, I bumped a couple of people.
The woman that I bumped let loose an angry tirade of words, and I responded in kind. The man I bumped jumped to her defense, saying I bumped him, too. Hotheadedness prevailed and I let loose a few angry words at him, too. Then I told them it was over and done with and shut my mouth for the duration of the ride.
As I was standing there during the ride steaming, I had the chance to cool off and think about things. I realized that I was the guilty party here. My conscience wouldn't let it go.
As my stop came closer, I approached both the man and the woman and told them I was sorry. They both nodded in response. As I got off the train, I felt as if a huge burden was lifted off my shoulders.
Why am I sharing this? It's just to let anyone who reads this that it's always better to have a cool head. it's also better to admit when you are wrong. And it's best to say "sorry" when you are.

REALLY not meant to be...
As you can see, White Wolf and Maskarado are still up there, though the character who's different is VAMPIOLO by Garro. It was decided to move around the characters, so Sandata and Sanduguan got moved to a strictly superhero title with some of Gilbert Monsanto's characters. The comic that was supposed to feature Maskarado and White Wolf became a dark, noir-ish title, so Vampiolo was added. That's why you can see the lighting in the art above has a bit more shadows.
Well, the plans went kaput! and that was that.
Anyway, this new BAYAN KNIGHTS project that Gilbert and Gio Paredes have cooked up got me excited. Maskarado will be part of the group, although I won't be taking an active part in the creation of the book itself. Oh, and Sandata and Sanduguan will be there, too. Good luck, guys!

Colors by Ner Pedrina
This was supposed to be a monthly anthology, with three continuing stories. After plenty of talks and some starts and stops, it got stopped permanently. It actually evolved into another thing, but that, too, didn't push through. I'll show what it evolved into on my next post.
I won't go into details on how or why the project didn't materialize. I just wanted to show the effort put into this so the artwork won't go to waste.
Sandata created by Ner Pedrina, White Wolf created by Leonard Banaag and Jomar Bulda.

The above piece of art was done for Dario Carrasco Jr. I was supposed to do the book for him, but some other stuff prevented me from doing so.
Moontracker is written by C.W. Russette and illustrated by Dario Carrasco Jr. Coming soon from Arcana Studio!

-I guess it would either be Jade or Kuki. Most definitely a hug will come with the kiss if it's from Jade.

- Yesterday morning, at SM Megamall. Had to go to Megaclinic for some physical therapy for my right shoulder.
4. Are you wearing socks right now?

5. How did you spend your summer?
- We went to Boracay, stayed at Discovery Shores. If you can afford it, I highly recommend it. And I'm not saying that just because Kuki works there.
6. Have you been to the cinema in the last 5 days?
- Nope. I rarely get to go to the movies nowadays. I saw Dark Knight with Kuki, though. Very good movie, although it left me with a "heavy" feeling afterwards.

- Nai Cha milk tea, then water with Clusivol.
8. What are you wearing right now?

9. What was your last purchase?
- A back issue of SFX magazine from Booksale.
10. What was the last food you ate?
- Ham, half a hotdog, and rice.
11. Who would be the person you would call if you were up in the middle of the night and couldn’t sleep?

16. What is the last thing you purchased online?

- I remember going to Camp Suki once. I had to rent a costume.
22. Are you a good student in school?
- I didn't get high grades, just good enough. Though I remember being well-behaved. Or maybe I just didn't get caught. Oh wait. I was caught cheating on a test once. My bad.

San Diego Comic Con 2008....
My first and only trip to SDCC was in 1998. In fact, I think that was my last trip to the USA. Who'd have thought 10 years later, my artwork would be displayed in its hallowed walls of geekdom? :)
My publisher, TwentyToSix Books, was an exhibitor there, and writer/editor/publisher Anthony Garcia sent me these pics. Form what he told me, a great time was had by all, even though it was exhausting.
A couple of comic pros liked the work I did for Wall of Angels, namely Shannon Wheeler (of Too Much Coffee Man fame), who, according to Anthony, thought the art was awesome. And even painter extraordinaire Dave Dorman said it was a solid product. To which I can only say thank you for the kind words, and rest assured we'll be doing much better in the coming issues.
Oh, and lest I forget, GRAPHIC CLASSICS: AMBROSE BIERCE 2nd Edition should be out this August, in which I drew the short story "The Damned Thing", scripted by Rod Lott. Check out the Graphic Classics website here.
Teka, napansin ko... Kamukha ni John Becaro yung naka-Superman costume, ah. Ikaw ba 'yan, John? :P

Here's Jade's absolutlest, mostest favorite song (at least for the moment)...
"Mercy" by Duffy.
Jade was singing one day, and the lyrics went "I was begging you for mercy, mercy... why won't you release me." Me and Kuki were intrigued, since we haven't heard a song like that before. Jade said she heard it playing on her school bus' radio.
A quick Google of the lyrics later, I found the song, downloaded it, and now Jade listens to it on her iPod shuffle repeatedly. What can I say? The kid has good taste in music. :)
