The small shop is currently located at the 2nd floor Circle C Mall, Congressional Avenue Quezon city, Metro Manila (the mall is owned by the Cinderella group of companies and its just right beside Cherry Food-O-Rama supermarket, and right above Robinson's Supermarket).

Aside from having an S.M. or shop-in-the-mall. We also have sort of roving stall. We place our goods in a 1972 Kombi van and go to big gigs in the metropolis with our merchandise. With this venture we, together with other local alternative/indie merchandize will be exposed to a bigger but more specialized market.

P.S. With our recent venture into local independent cd/merchandise consignment ( or what we call "The
Indie Lab") we are slowly evolving into small music shop that carries independent cds and merchandize from local artists/bands/groups. With your support and participation no doubt it would greatly help both of us in propmoting the local filipino music scene.

The Department of Trade and Industry and CITEM in cooperation with the Cultural Center of the Philippines, British Council Manila, Asian Institute for Management, and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts will be holding the First Philippine Creative Industry Forum billed as NURTURING THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY IN THE PHILIPPINES at the CCP Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (Little Theater) September 7-9, 2005

As an emerging and dynamic sector of the Philippine economy, the creative industry which includes publishing, printing and literature; music and the performing arts; visual arts; crafts, design and architecture;
audiovisual and new media; cultural heritage; and cultural activities, needs to be recognized and supported.

The Forum aims to develop greater awareness and understanding of the creative industry and its contribution to the Philippine economy, and to formulate strategies on how the government, business and
private sectors can work together to help develop and promote the creative industry in the Philippines.

Aside from the main forum, there will also be small round table discussions, interactions, performances, exhibition, and social gatherings to afford the participants to network and establish linkages.

We would like to invite everyone who are part of the creative industry to participate in the Forum. As an important stockholder in the arts and culture sector, you and your organization’s participation will be crucial to the success of the project.

All interested parties, please fill up the Reply Form below. As the slots are limited, your early response will be greatly appreciated.

It's Syeri's birthday week too! So we hope you could all come and celebrate this important week with her.

My classmate and friend from grade school, Reno Maniquis is coming up with the sixth issue of his classic work, MASKARADO. It will be out in Comic Quest Megamall sometime next week for only Php 60 (tentatively priced at that). Reputed to be the penultimate chapter of the present storyarc, it's worth checking out! Why don't y'all grab TABLOID Issue 3 while you're at it. It's free! So what have you got to lose? Out of this world works by Dodo Dayao, Bong Leal, Jonas Diego and Ariel Atienza is featured in that issue.

Beerkada creator, Lyndon Gregorio will be having an autograph signing session tomorrow (but his books will also be available for perusal and sale till Friday) at Gloria Jeans Coffee in Shopwise Araneta Center, Cubao from 1-6 pm. I think there will be a book reading session from his latest offering, Go-Beerkada. If you haven't the foggiest idea what that entails then go attend. Free caricatures for a minimum amount of sales from either Shopwise or GJ Coffee.

They made a big splash in last year's UP Ame Convention, check Istrong Repablik's debut work now available at Comic Quest, Megamall.

Another indie that come highly recommended is Jon Zamar's mini comics, Minsan Ako'y Nanaginip: Digmaang Salinlahi which is now available in Comic Quest Megamall and SM North branch. Production for the third issue is currently being done, and the creators hope that issue would also be made available this month.

Initial Burst Studios is proud to offer you the best of the best, featuring the 4th Runner Up Awardee in the recent art contest that Neil Gaiman himself judged, Nelz Yumul with his Embracers; Atan "I-draw-directly-in-the-computer-using-Flash" Talas' SilentDestiny: The Hunted and some mind blowing features by the ever humble, Melchman.

Also up for grabs is a CD Rom-sized full color comic book, SilentDestiny: King of Fon. Also illustrated by Melchman.

Both books are written by Erwin Robledo.

We know you're all waiting for this. More details to follow in the coming days and weeks ahead.

This is an oldie. It's a third of a page for a superhero character I was developing back in the mid-90s.



Those were cute bunny rabbits. Saccharine cute you wouldn't believe.

Here's a panel from a story I'm doing for PSICOM :)

ay saya! sige, will see what i can submit...... P50 ba talaga? I was hoping P30 aheheheheheh

Hear ye! Hear ye! The distinguished members of the Artists' Den are hereby called upon to create a mini-portfolio to be sold in the upcoming conventions before the year ends. Details are as follows:

Overall theme of the project: Identity.
Do something you would like to show people who you are and/or what you do. Do something really mind blowing and outta this world!

Specs: Minimum of 2 and a maximun of 5 pages, 6.5" x 8.5" (half the size of a legal bond paper), black and white only. Bahala na kayo sa materials na gagamitin nyo and it doesn't have to be comics. You can do pin-ups, a short story, a poem, prose, a photograph, collage, play with fonts to say something, an ad or poster lay-out... bahala na kayo kung ano gusto nyong gawin. Submit a soft copy if possible. Printing will be done through photocopy so make your art as clean as possible.

Deadline: 1st of October, 2003.

Depending on the number of contributions I'd also like to solicit some contributions for the production of this comic. It's not going to be that expensive, maybe around P50.00 each. We'll still see.

We'll include this in our discussion in our Den meetings. Thanks!
