went to my friend's exhibit last week as my part of supporting him in his path to dream achievement. he was one of the featured creators of what we call "indie" comics who had their characters done by different artists either in oil or as a sculpture. in his case, he got 3 versions of his super hero - estrella. i promised to be there and of course, i won't miss it. other than supporting my former roommate, i really was eyeing on the first issue of his comicbook which he told me he'll give as a gift :) he said he revamped the whole thing which i've read years ago in our boarding house. i asked if he could do a me character since we're friends and all. talk about connection. my character was released on book 2 but he had problems with the individuals that printed it so i was out of luck. jericho, promised though that he'll work on it and will have the reprints of the 2nd issue done. i joked if his work would reach amazon.
anyway, here are the art collection. if i had all the bucks in the world, i'll get them all but i'm just a simple employee who can just stare at them all.
i wasn't able to meet the artists who did them, well, except for the sculptor. i was with my office friends and they too were amazed of the art the place has. the event showcases of the philippine comicbook characters. some old, some new. there was even one who made a tribute to manny pacquiao.
nice work. but of all the frames i saw that time. this probably is my favorite:
the character's name is galema. she's the daughter of zuma (check the upper pic with the green guy who has 2 snake heads on his neck). if the father's snake's green, her's is white. i remember watching a movie when i was a kid about these two characters. zuma is the bad guy with super strength and all and nobody can defeat him, maybe thor, except his daughter. i faintly remember every detail but i'm sure there was his scene on the caves where she trapped his dad.
if i'm not mistaken, there are rumors about this character to be brought to life by a popular tv station here but haven't seen any latest updates. i would be cool. cooler if they'll make my friend's character - estrella a tv series as well. who knows, right?

btw, jericho used to appear on tv commercials before. i think my sister is a fan (heheh) but she'll never admit it but she always informs me whenever she see's him on the box.
