Pasko ng Komiks

(Komiks Christmas)

// Christmas is not all about toys, but in this event it is also about comics and the joys of reading it and appreciate art.

Official website: http://read-or-die.org/komiks/

Read Or Die, the UP Institute of Creative Writing and the UP College of Arts and Letters in partnership with Komikera and the New Worlds Alliance invite you to attend Pasko ng Komiks, a symposium on Filipino komiks. The event is the culminating activity of the 2007 College of Arts and Letters Week. The symposium will bring together komiks writers and artists from different groups and backgrounds along with respected critics.

The event is sponsored by the UP College of Arts and Letters, the National Book Development Board and WikiPilipinas.

There will also be an exhibit of komiks prints from select collections and artists in FC Gallery 2 as well as an open cosplay event featuring characters from comics–whether Filipino komiks, Western comics and graphic novels, or manga and manwha. We would like to invite everyone to participate in the cosplay.

The exhibit will be curated by Ms. Teta Tulay of the innovative female artists collective Komikera. For inquiries about donating prints or your own for exhibit, please contact her at komikera@gmail.com.

Comic artists in Eat Bulaga’s On da Spot game

Its funny to see our local comic artists participate in a variety show game, I just saw this inside the bus with TV while going to Manila yesterday. That explains that why I am familiar with the final contestant for the jackpot game. The jackpot question was ” who wrote the story of the monkey and the tortoise”, then after winning the jackpot and getting a big prize, they showed off their comic arts and drawing on TV.

showing their artworks on TV,  forgive my camera bluryness, i just took this shot inside a moving bus.

that’s Dan Borgones, artist of Glass House Graphics. I was surprised that he is serious in joining the game, lucky guy won
a prize  hhehe, thanks to Michelle Calanog for sharing this MMS photo.
