THE ART OF MEL CASIPIT

Nagpunta sa Pilipinas si Mr. Edwin "Wincat" Alcala Assistant Director ng Family Guy upang magbahagi ng kaalaman sa animation. Ang talk ay naganap sa Informatics College, Rm 2G sa Eastwood campus, Hulyo 6, 2013, hatid ng ACPI o Animation Council of the Philippines.  Simula nung bata pa lang ako pangarap ko ng maging animator. Simula noong makapanood ako ng mga cartoons sa TV ay nahumaling na ako agad. Nahilig ako sa panonood ng cartoons at magbasa ng komiks. Kahit nung ako'y naging teenager at ngayon na professional na di pa rin natanggal ang pagkagusto ko sa animation, dream job ko talaga yun. Nabalitaan ko kay Kai Castillo noong nilink nya sakin ang tungkol sa talk ni Mr. Wincat Alcala sa Eastwood, na sinundan ng paglink sakin ulit nila Randy Valiente at Tepai Pascual, kapwa mga kakomiks ko. Si G. Alcala ay Assistant Director ng Family Guy. Isang palabas na cartoons mula sa Fox Broadcasting Company na nilikha ni Seth Mcfarlane. Sobrang sikat ang pa...

This saturday, February 9, 2013 me together with my good friends in comics, will attend the Komikon Baguio.  for details please see the pictures below. I was also invited to talk about the Independent Comics scene in the country. Watch out for us and see you all at the event! :) 

I had been contacted by my long FB friend to do a chef commission. I was hesitant at first as the Komikon 2012 is fast approaching, but I accepted it anyway. I really missed drawing caricatures its been a while since I last drew one. I was happy with the result as well the person who did the commission. I hope the persons I made the caricature for also loved their caricature. Looking forward for more caricatures in the future. These caricatures where done in the month of October of 2012. 

Just recently I was able to try out using paint tool sai, I wanted to practice making artworks digitally. You see I had always been traditional, but you can't escape change, so I did. These artworks are part of my love illustration collection sketches done last quarter of 2011. I did those drawings as a past time, and emotional diversion. At that time I was really depressed and heart broken (a bit :)) so I envisioned love couples and so I drew. A lot of people love those sketches when I post them on FB so I continued doing those sketches even though I'm already over the emotional stress.
