Andong Agimat - animated short by Arnold Arre

This is astig!!!! you must watch this animated short created by comic creator Arnold Arre, from his graphic novel Andong Agimat... galeng!!!

"As a graphic novelist, I've always been frustrated with the limitations of the static comic book page. I wanted to see my drawings in motion and have the luxury to set them to sound and particularly music. Armed with experience from the many flip books I made as a kid, I managed to make my very first animated film, Andong Agimat: Kanya ang Kalye ("The Streets are His").. It's only 4 minutes long but it took around two weeks to make. I really had fun working on this and I hope you'll enjoy watching it. :)

*Andong Agimat is a character from my graphic novel Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat (http://arnold-arre.com/ang-mundo-ni-andong-agimat/). He is a Pinoy superhero I created who wears a talisman that makes him invulnerable. - Arnold Arre"

7th Philippine Komiks Convention 2011 this Nov. 19

Its good to hear that Komikon is evolving every year, the event is growing and getting bigger in promoting pinoy talents, komiks and pop art. I haven't been to the new venue of Komikon, I have failed to attend their event last year and I'm very curious on the new set up and heard that the place is perfect for a comic event.

There will be lots of komiks launching, artists meet and greet, signings, comic contest,
booths, comics bargains and the launch again of their 3rd annual Komikon Awards.

Komikon 2011 is on November 19, 2011 at 10am-7pm
Bayanihan Center, Pasig City.
Entrance Fee is Php 100.
http://www.komikon.org/event-info/

I'm excited already! and want to surprise some old friends there  and I must reserve now my Php 100 ticket for Nov. 19, I just hope that there will be no  conflicts again on my schedule, that's my main problem whenever Komikon is here again, I think last time was that I have my own event happening out of town and I'm so uncomfortable that I missed the  komik event of the year, but I'm going to make sure that I won't book a date for an event project that will hit Nov. 19. promise!!

video: Philippine invasion @ SDCC 2011 (Balitang America ANC report)

I was about to go to bed and before I turn off the TV I spotted this news feature about our Pinoy comic artist and the Philippine Invasion panel @ San Diego Comic Con 2011. I'm so happy that the news are on TV and features our very own talented artist and writers for international comics.

spotted on the vid: American comic writer Mark Waid, and our pinoy artists - Tony de Zuniga, Alex Nino, Gerry Alanguilan, Ernie Chan, and Whilce Portacio.

I salute and wave the Philippine flag to them and want also to thank them for placing our country on the map and in the comicverse!
