Looking Back at My Spider-Man Fan Arts Over the Years

Image
We watched Spider-Man: Brand New Day last Sunday, and someone asked me if I'd ever drawn Spider-Man before. I said, "Only a few, mostly practice sketches." So I dug through my old files and found these drawings. These were created between 2007 and 2011 . They're all traditional sketches, except for one that I drew in MS Paint . I hadn't really gotten into digital art back then, so most of my work was still done with pen and paper. It's always fun looking back at old drawings and seeing how much I've grown as an artist over the years.

Working on My Project after the Pandemic

Image
 I’m currently revisiting a project that has been on hold for several years. It was originally planned for release before the pandemic, but like many things at that time, it had to be postponed. Now I am slowly returning to it and working through my backlog of unfinished ideas and creative work. Finishing long-delayed projects can be challenging, but it is also very rewarding. For me, creating is not only about producing work for others but also about personal fulfillment. Completing these projects reminds me why I started making art in the first place.

I Design a Pencil Cartoon Mascot for our Group

Image
 As a member of SKP, Samahang Kartunista ng Pilipinas , I was invited to create a mascot concept for the organization. The idea was rooted in how members often call each other ka-lapis, a term that reflects both camaraderie and our shared craft. Since the SKP logo already features a pencil motif, it felt natural to build the mascot around a pencil-inspired design. This concept aims to represent creativity, unity, and the identity of Filipino cartoonists.

 oining the 2016 trend. I am sharing a painting I created back in 2016. At the time, a cartoony painting style was not yet very popular. Now, I often see cartoon-style paintings hanging in local galleries. This is an acrylic painting and is available for sale. If you are interested, feel free to DM me.

Art vs Artist 2025. 'Di ako masyado nagawa ng mga artworks this year, kupara noong mga nakaraang taon. Medyo busy kasi sa paparating na baby at life. Pero noong binalikan ko mga ginawa ko last year(2025), napansin kong madami-dami akong nagawang short comics ilan para Komiket, Komikon at Istorya Studios. Nakapagpinta rin ako ng mga small paintings. Abangan niyo na lang mga art ko ngayong 2026. Dadamihan ko pa siguro ang komiks at paintings.   

Finally Receved my ISBN for my Newest Book: Galila!

Image
This moment is truly special for me — I’ve just received confirmation for my first-ever ISBN application as an author. I’ve been self-publishing zines and comics since high school, but this marks a new milestone after becoming an NBDB-registered author. My book Galila is a collection of my short comics created over the years. From writing and drawing to layout, publishing, and marketing, I handled everything myself. It’s been a long creative journey, and seeing it officially recognized feels incredibly rewardin
