I Love Lingayen


I was born and grew up in Lingayen, Pangasinan, in a small "barangay" called Naguelguel. Since I was little we used to go to the Famous Lingayen, gulf, the same gulf that Gen. McArthur Landed during the second World War. In that same beach we celebrate the Pista'y Dayat(Sea Festival) on the 1st day of May to thank God for the blessing and for good harvest for the people. I can still remember, we used to join the Sand Sculpting Copetitiion during the said festival. I posted here some of our sculptures. Those are few of the winning pieces of art, and some are just too good though did not win, but is good enough to be featured.

I really fell said when I think about what happened because the competition were removed in the line-up of events, for the information of the organizers and the Pangasinan Provincial Government, the Sand Sculpting competition is one of the major event in the festival that most tourist look forward to. This is the event that they can get to take pictures of the sculptures, when the sun is too hot to take a bath yet to the sea.

I'm looking forward and hoping that they'd bring the competition back, it will definitely make the people and the artist like us very happy.

Ballpen Sketches

Spiderman sketch Nightwing and Huntress Sketch Ichigo Sketch This one's my Original character "Shooter" I did most of these sketches at the office when we have high avail time(meaning, there are no calls on que). What I do is bring a piece of coupon bond, divide it into 4 equal parts and do the sketches. I draw anything under the sun, most of the time I do Fan arts of superheroes and animes. My original creation MLU was also done this way as well as the thumbnails for my Baboy original comics. Using ballpen as a sketching pen s not easy, specially if you're not used to it but once you got the hang of it, it's not as hard as it looks. So how does it go when you make a mistake? For me, you just have to continue skecthing, some minor errors can be remidied, but some mistakes need to be redone. Hope you like my sketches you can check my DA specially dedicated to ballpen sketches here .

‎100 ARAW NG KOMIKS (Day 20) KAGUBATAN (2004) Ito ang pangalawa kong entry para sa CCCom (Culture Crash Comic) 8 page comics feature. Nauna ang "Payt 4 Lab"(2003). Sayang at hinde napili ang comics ko pero oks lang, achievement pa rin sa 'kin dahil nakatapos ako ng isa ang 8 page short comics. Mabigat ang impluwensya sakin ng anime da ti, hnd ako masyadong exposed sa western comics kaya siguro. Nito na lang ako nakakapag-basa madalas ng mga western comics. Kaya ito ang naging kinalabasan ng artwork. 17 yrs old pa lang ako nung panahong ginawa kong Kagubatan, tungkol ito sa istorya ng isang prinsepeng inatasang magpunta sa kagubatan para sa isang misyon, Kung gusto nyong mabasa ang kabuuan ng komiks, abangan nyo na lamang sa susunod na komikon sa Nobiyembre, kung saan balak kong ilabas ang aking mga short komiks. Sa panahong ito ay ginagawa ko ang book 3 ng mukat komiks ko, kaya mas maayos ang art kumpara sa Payt 4 lab. Nakakatuwang balikan ang mga dati kong ginawang komik

Glasshousegraphics Comics creation Seminar

My dream jobs are to be an animator or a comicbook artist! Ever since I was just a kid, I'm always fascinated to superheroes and moving pictures. My dream is still burning in me that's why I always practice drawing as much as possible even though I'm already working. I'm most happy when I was able to work in the Big City (NCR), in my opinion, all the event and all of my dream jobs are here, meaning I'm closer... I've always known of the glasshousegraphics comics creation seminar, unfortunately I'm still in the province so I dont have the financial capability to go and join the seminar, but now that I'm working already, there's no way i would miss this seminar. The Seminar is a 2-day event at the CLSB in Taft Ave. Manila from Jan 30-31, 2010. I was able to meet there my good friend Randy Valiente and Jaime also an equally good artist. With me is my housemate Roel Barreto which is also a fine programmer. We were all excited to listen and take part of
