Two articles about Pinoy comic books came out in the Philippine Daily Inquirer today.
1
The first one reprints our Trese interview by Paolo Chikiamco of RocketKapre.com
"For fans of komiks, Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo need no introduction, and neither does "Trese", their komiks collaboration, now published by Visprint, which is one of the most popular and most successful komik series' in recent memory. While komiks still remains, at this point, a niche market, "Trese" continues to make inroads into mainstream consciousness, its most recent success being recognition in the National Book Awards in the category of Graphic Literature. In their first post-award interview Kajo and Budjette talk about the success of "Trese", the importance of their fans, transmedia storytelling, and the future of Philippine komiks"

The second one is an interview by Oliver Pulumbarit, where he talks to me, Gerry Alanguilan, and Carlo Vergara about the potential and future of the Philippine comic book industry.
"The local comic book industry has evolved dramatically in the last couple of years. The weekly newsprint "komiks" are gone, but the number of independent comic book creators who bring their vision to their own publications continues to grow.
"Filipino-made comics are alive, kicking, and here to stay, according to three of indie movement Alamat's most successful creators, Gerry Alanguilan (writer-artist of the acclaimed "Elmer"), Budjette Tan (author of 2009 National Book Award-winning "Trese"), and Carlo Vergara (creator of the multimedia sensation "Zsazsa Zaturnnah")."

Editor at Large
It's been a week since Summer Komikon 2012 and I haven't had the chance to talk about the comic books that we launched.
http://tresekomix.blogspot.com/2012/06/editor-at-large.html
Me and Kajo had this grand plan to release the new Trese book last week, but several things kept me busy and we were only able to release "Maverick Rider", the first case from what will be Trese Book 5.

Below is the email from Ms. Sy, after which you will read my reply to her, which I have decided to make public.

It's a shame that you forcibly included 8 of your buddies out of 34 artists in CB Cebulski's talent search. It can now be explained why more talented people were excluded.
Aspiring artists like us are now quest
Fear of Failure
Famous Creators on the Fear of Failure

"A characteristic of artistic education is for people to tell you that you're a genius. [...] So everybody gets this idea, if you go to art school, that you're really a genius. Sadly, it isn't true. Genius occurs very rarely. So the real embarrassing issue about failure is your own acknowledgement that you're not a genius, that you're not as good as you thought you were. [...] There's only one solution: You must embrace failure. You must admit what is. You must find out what you're capable of doing, and what you're not c
