thanks to Fullybooked for being part of the ToyCon and now its our turn to help them in their event, Im now excited for this event coz its a Neil Gaiman event with Fullybooked. They invited local artists to be part of the event, so my part here is to help them call the artists and organize a some programs for everyone.
no cosplay here , it will be an educational day for all when we will have a live tutorials on drawing and comic creation. Also a Live Comic Forum about Filipino and Comics, last ToyCon we ran out of time for this segment but then here we decided to continue the forum and talk about the industry of comics.
I'll taping this in video for future use, and I know it will be educational especially to those who like to know whats going on and what happened to the comic world here in our country.
Really thanks to our comic creators and artists for being interested to participate in this event. and Im glad the organizers allowed us to use the tables and panel boards for free, In support for all pinoy artists and the comic art form.
here are the list of artists, indie creators who will be there selling and signing their comic items to comic fans.
Gerry Alanguilan
Arnold Arre
The Artists' Den
Reno Maniquis
Neo Comics
Glasshouse Graphics Asia
Xerx Javier
John Becarmo
Deviant Art Manila
and some indie comics creator like Abono Comics, Leaf indies, Anonymous and etc.
and also the legacy art exhibit of Alfredo Alcala Sr. will be there, exhibiting new artwork and 1st time original artworks here in Manila.
here is the idea for the program schedule...
im planning to hold the comic tutorials at around 1pm and then the comic forum at 3pm.
this will have a great allowance between 1-3pm for the time of the tutorials and lecture.
as for the forum im not sure what time it will end. as I said to other people who asked me the question, i just told them that it depends on the speakers and how hot the topic is.
and also..i will be playing comic related video footages and comic trailers and teasers between or before those time.
oh btw, the event is FREE....means that...there are no entrance free ehehehehe.
awarding for the winners of the contest will be unmasked at 7pm.
the event will end at 10pm, still people are debating that who is this mysterious guest of Fullybooked, everyone says that it might be Alex Nino or it could be mr. Neil Gaiman.
well....only way to find out is to attend the event!
here are the latest updates about the event.
UNMASKED event
Hello everyone! We've been getting a lot of inquiries and questions about the 1st
Philippine Graphic/Fiction Awards so just to go through the FAQ's:
1. About the posted short listed entries, we sincerely apologize for some delays in the
postings at our website. But we've fixed up the kinks, and now you can access the prose
and comics entries at this link:
http://www.fullybookedonline.com/eventdtl.php?id=10
2. These short listed entries will be exhibited at the event on July 15. All these entries are
in the running for the grand prizes. Meaning, they are not just for the People's Choice
Awards.
3. The voting will be by ballot system which will be open on the whole day of July 15. We
cannot have an online voting system just to be fair (because we are wary of people who
will be clicking on their favorite entries hundreds of times like most of the online/ text
voting systems).
4. Your ballots will be given to you upon registration. As an incentive, we will be raffling
off prizes to the ballots cast.
5. The doors to the Rockwell Tent will open at 10AM. There will be a schedule of activities
the whole day leading up to the 7PM awards proper. These include an artist's corner
where renowned Filipino comics artists will be conducting workshops, autograph signings,
etc. Of course, we'll be having booths wherein you can buy related books, graphic novels
and related merchandise.
Will also have movie showings, readings of excerpts from the short listed finalists, and live
performances by OUTER HOPE and PINIKPIKAN, including fire dancing by PLANET ZIPS.
Food booths outside the tent will be available as well.
6.. Lastly, this event is FREE OF CHARGE. So everyone's invited =)
7. AND YES, Neil Gaiman has been collaborating with us with this every step of the way.
Can't divulge too much, but be prepared for some surprises =)
Again, we encourage you guys to come with your own funky original mask creations.
Five more days fellow dreamers =) See you at the Rockwell Tent!
Cheers,
Fully Booked Management.
