All of them are Luzon-based. I saw some of the artwork of Sukolmo before and a few of them are actually quite good.
I mean each time I visit Manila, I always see comic book drawing seminars being offered. There\'s a lively community there, diri
I don\'t know. Kung naa man gani, close-knit group siguro.
Of course, there might be Cebuanos working incognito (low-profile) for DC Comics, Marvel, Top Cow, Image or for Japanese
comic book publishers (I met a USC art professor once who told me that he\'s disappointed that some of his students are in
Japane drawing hentai manga or anime - well, it\'s a living). Ako lang unta, if they have it, they should flaunt it as in \"Mga tol,
ako nag-drawing cover page X-Men # 517, or ako nag-drawing background sa Mulan 2, etc.\")
I think you'd be proud to know that Leinil Francis Yu is a Cebuano. He's one of the hottest artists today and has pencilled for DC, Marvel, WildStorm, among others. I met him once and a friend told me he's Bisaya. I just had to confirm and asked him if he is. Sus! Before we knew it, gabinisaya na mi! Taga-Borromeo kuno iya family which I heard is still there. He now lives in a condo here in Manila earning a living as a comics artist.
