KOMIKON 2008 here we come!

November 22 is the scheduled date for the Philippines annual Comics Convention at UP Diliman and we are proud to announce that it would also be the day we will be showing the teaser of our ongoing project, the MAJARLICA: BAYAN NG AGIMAT which Mr. Danny Acuña and I collaborated. Sir Danny did the story and linearts and I made the digital paints (colours).

I still can’t put the synopsis of the story here, maybe next time. Take a sneak peak on our upcoming graphic novel! Coming this January 2009!
