TENK YU

Last Christmas i hanged my stockings

Just like any other children

But when i woke up in the morning

I found the stockings have nothing

And so i began to wonder

Why Santa isn't fair

He gave the rich kids with everything

For me he has nothing spare

Santa please be fair to all

Give the rich and give the poor

Santa Santa heed my call

Santa Santa

Be fair to all

I will hang my stocking again

Please be kind to me this year

Santa Santa please be fair

Please be kind to me this year...

TAKING A BREAK

Just finished DEADPOOL issue 30 and 31 written by Daniel Way, now after a brief timeout, i didn't waste time to produce thie 3 1/6 scale figures which are now auctioned at ebay...hope some one will but them......

BELLA DONNA

Sometimes, i take my wife to a BINGO parlor (i'm only human no?) , and we usually ends up with an emptier pockets but still happy and thankful for that family day we always do (hey, the kids naman are in netopia )

But sometimes, a million to one , you will encounter an icon , just like any other soul who wants to hit the jackpot.

Waaaay back as i can recal, i really dig this woman, though always an antagonist, i really love her. Those tight fitting dress she used to wear and missile guided fronts that makes you think whats inside...those were the wonder years....

Though loosing the game, i set aside my hopefulness in winning and started to doodle her face in one of those bingo cards, "without my eyeglasses". I draw her as a youthful woman who graces thousands of times in our black and white radiowealth t.v. and mustered enough courage to go to her table and asked for her autograph ...

I introduced myself to her and asked the ultimate question.....c-can i have your autograph?

You can see that she is frail, her hands were trembling as she signs my illo .She was old and grey, but all i can see was the same woman in my younger years...iconic and a far cry from the stars of today, truly my angelina jolie.

May you have more birthdays to come my beloved....my Bella Flores.

AWESOMMMME KEWL DAYYYYYYY!!!!

Just got back from GHG office to deliver Martha (stewart) Vineyard map, almost half the size of a standard plywood (lamang loob din yun while waiting for deadpool script) .Met the head Koala and talk about everything reg comics....before i left, Koala gave me this awesome item that any fanboy could dream of, i have one like this since early 80's but this just one made my day aside from having an original art from whatever...why? look.....

FAST PACED MONTH

Visited my late father and mother , prayed for their souls and asked them to help us in times of need, they never let us down as we face our daily obstacles in life...salamat tatay and nanay.

We miss you so much....

Watched the Legend of the Guardians in 3D , owls everywhere, awesome piece of animation. We let our piglets, Tsobe and Bukoy, play at Time zone while me and my wife sip coffee at this awesome shop where we met Pu , the comedianne?

As for Moon Knight, it was a test of professionalism, aside from the first pager centerspread, i have to work on a battle that happens in , of all places, Louisiana Mardi Gras, i've counted at least 781 people all in all as our hero tries to outwit his fallen brother in acquiring the elusive Sapphire Crescent which said to help them , along with team Avengers, in toppling down the demon of Shadowland via Daredevil..

It was also a test for being in the comics business for years, of not being a SLACKER and do what you have to do, all for that dreaded deadline.

And for that, a 22 pager issue that takes me only 19 days, i narrowly missed my deadline...whew.

Take a look and you'll know what i mean...

A former colleague of mine , a writer from atlas publishing, visited my humble abode and asked me if i can make him a custom toy as a present, no problem. We reminisced the good all days, the truly komikeros, where a 150 pesos script is enough for us to be happy , and if someone had no dinero, we chip in, it was truly a comrade in arms thing and i'm glad i was a part of it even though i was the only illustrator in the circle of writers...but hey, I have 4 novels and series in my name as a writer both in Atlas and Rex Publishing. Man, it was a peak of ingenuity....

Some are gone...and some remains....wish we can be truly together again , maybe in a reunion?

SALAMAT!

Maraming salamat sa mga umatend sa Comics Odyssey signing, great fun time. My editor Gaspar San Diego was there and ,while signing, we reminisce about the ATLAS days to the new breeds..that was the highlight of my signing event....they just couldn't believe how an illustrator named CARLING DIVINAGRACIA can draw with the brush on steady position while the paper move....how one man named TONYMONKS can gather all the great comics illustrators in the Philippines in one room ...how we played in the editorial room not realizing that we are making history in the 80's and much much more!!!
Touched to see Dona, my former comrade, truly blessed with a beautiful family....
The Lugapo kids, tol kiya kits ,@ Azrael, the history is with Sandy, its for you to document.....

--Surprised to see a kid with a "force unleashed" tbp to be signed, amazement when i saw Haden's signature, and with mine, the circle is complete...
---and lastly, just to break the paradigm...instead of sketching standard heroes, i draw this one , and he was very happy!

Many many thanks to Sandy for supporting us....

Moon Knight at Comics Oyssey

Guys, i will be signing our new marvel book "moon knight shadowland" at COMICS ODYSSEY August 28 (2010 para sure) from 1 to 3 pm. Sana makadalo u . We will be giving away "ORIGINAL artworks" from deadpool "MERC WITH A MOUTH" to lucky comics aficionados...

Sana makadalo u d2.....

...CAUSE ITS SO HARD TO SEE....

Been too busy lately, aside from the deadline at Marvel, i'm wrapping up a project for this custom beatles 1/6 scale figure...

Hope i gave justice....

Why Beatles? They were many of the first...i can still recall that in one of their songs , i first heard the effect sound of "distortion" in where , all John would have to do is , max all the knobs at full and be near at the speaker, thus giving an awful feedback and likewise a powerful distortion...crude but effective.

Today , all an aspiring musician will do is buy a mini foot pedal, in wide array...distortion, plunger, delay, wah , phaser and all sort of effects that you can think off...

But in their hey-days, the ground was fertile , too many avenues to conquer, too raw ..

Unlike today, with tech all around you , we can create music within seconds....and just like in seconds, its gone as fast as it was created, no memories, no remembrances...

Unlike their songs...

haunting....full of it.

Oh MASTER my Master....

My idol passed away, trully cunning in all aspects , anatomy, layout, facial expression, colors especially motivation.....

He endured all 3 decades maybe 6...from that little shack with full of noises , full of distraction, queuing inharmonies , he can tame the fire and mold it from the chaos...truly an artisan trapped in anachronism...way ahead even in this digital realm....truly magnificent..

As late blossom twirls within the passage of ravage valleys and treacherous intertwining paths that leads to dire adventures of our hero, his right weapon turned blunt, unusable but still can carry the thorned weapons he usually used...with his mighty growl on top of a zenith his echoes made the dark minions hide more deeper in the abyss...

...and the mighty ones sharpened again his entity , they still want his saga, enjoying in that visual pool of euphoria....his left turned to right and his quest continued... it was never the same again.....tamed antis came and went but the fusion of sheer mightiness was gone, but you can still see the sages that are trapped and once used when enemies are so close to victory....

..but alas his mortal soul succumbed ..no matter how chiseled his characters are...no matter how beautiful....

and an apprentice is lost, meandering in the woods ...groping for a sustainable knowledge. Whom shall i follow thy footstep?

...oh how will i missed you thy master ...my captain...our Frank Frazetta.

Para sa bagong Gobyerno

DEPRESSION is not a sign of weakness it is a
sign that you have been trying to be strong for too long. Put this as
your status if you know someone who has or has had depression. Will you
do it and leave it on your status for at least an hour? Most people
won't, but it's mental health week and 1 in 3 of us will suffer at some
point in our lives. Show your support good people. I copy and pasted,
will you?
