Another Kalayaan T-Shirt Design

Here is another Kalayaan t-shirt design that I just recently printed. Thank you very much to Ed Tadeo for giving me permission to print and sell this amazing Kalayaan art of him. He is one of the generous and kind person that I have ever met. Komikon is already tomorrow and he will also be there to sell his comics. Please do support him and other Pinoy independent comics creator. Thanks 

I apologize of the low resolution of these images. My digital camera just got broken a few days ago. :-( I took this picture using only my cheap camera phone. Mas maganda ang quality ng print nito sa personal... pramis.  

Kalayaan T-Shirt on Summer Komikon 2012

I will be selling Kalayaan T-Shirt on Summer Komikon on May 26. I am very much pleased with the printing of this t-shirt. I have found a t-shirt printing company that does not only makes great quality print, the cost is very fair and it is also very near where I live.

This particular t-shirt that I am wearing (picture below) have already been worn and washed 3 times. But the quality of the print did not diminished what so ever. It can be wash manually or by washing machine. 

I will be selling this at only P380 each. If you could not make it on Komikon but still interested in purchasing this from me. You could just email me at kalayaancomics@yahoo.com and we could just meet up somewhere in Ortigas area (Megamall or Robinsons Galleria). Thanks.

Napansin ko lang. Bakit kaya karamihan ng mga pulubi dito sa Pinas ay merong mga anak? Sana naman ay wag na silang mag anak kung hindi naman kayang buhayin. Nakakalungkot lang. :-(

When I was still a kid back in the 80's, me and my father just loves to watch together a Terence Hill and Bud Spencer movie. Here is one of them....

Free Kalayaan 0 at Flipreads

Because FCBD (Free Comic Book Day) is just around the corner (Saturday, May 5).I decided to give away Kalayaan #0 in both printed and digital form. Kalayaan #0 (english version) is now available as a FREE ebook at Flipreads website. Just click on the link HERE to download. But you still have to register on their site in order to download their free books. And while your already there, you might also want check out their free books. There are a lot of cool stuff there.

And if you have any problem downloading it from Flipreads, you can also download it directly HERE.

I will also give away a printed copy (photocopy only) during FCBD (or after, depending on my schedule).  I might be at Comic Odyssey in the morning and ComicX Hub in the afternoon. The printed version is very limited because there are only a few copies that I could afford to print and give away. So I hope to see you all at FCBD.    

FCBD on ComicX Hub

This is the cover for the anthology "Komiks All-Star" to be released by Comicx Hub on Free Comic Book Day on May 5. On this cover are (from top left) Zsazsa Zaturnnah, Kalayaan, Trese, Callous Duck and Ambush on a summer attire. Art by Carlo Vergara (the creator of Zsazsa Zaturnnah). Colors by Amos Jan Villar. 

I might say that Carlo did an excellent job on this one. I've never seen KALAYAAN having this much sex appeal. Looking at this makes me wanna go out and hit the gym and exercise. Yes, I envy his body now more than ever. :-)

I hope that you guys could go to Comic X Hub this coming May 5 (Saturday) to get this absolutely FREE comics. And just in case you do not know the location. The address is "3rd Floor Bloomingdale Plaza Shaw Blvd. Brgy. Kapitolyo, Pasig City". And here is a map just to help more. Just click on the image to enlarge. 

  

My character is being use without my permission!

I just came from the "World Book And Copyright day" from Quezon Memorial circle. And when I checked my messages. The first message that I get is that my CHARACTER is being use WITHOUT my permission on a t-shirt design competition which has the current theme of "Kalayaan".

The executive director of this non-profit group was kind enough to inform me of one entry that he said that it is too similar from one of my work. He asked if I have send this image using another name or given any other person a permission to use my character. And they are willing to disqualify this naughty (or misinformed person about copyright laws) person. 

Here is the image of the entry for this T-Shirt competition and you judge for your self it this is just a similar character from my own. 

In my humble opinion, and probably most of the people that could see this will agree with me that it is my character that had just been cut and paste, and had a minor editing. This image is based on the cover of Kalayaan  #1. And to see the comparison... here is the cover of the first issue of Kalayaan comics.

I asked the executive director of this T-Shirt competition to disqualify this person immediately and give me his name so that we (indie creators) could teach him a little bit about the Laws regarding copyrighted materials.

Behind the scene

My Assistant

I just finished another page of Kalayaan #13 and my assistant (Joyce Nicole) is just helping me erase some of the excess pencil on this page. She really enjoys helping me out and erasing those unnecessary pencil on every page I create. Sabi nya sa akin para daw kunyari sya ang gumawa... hehehe.... Joyce is really my Joy in life. :-)
