Meteor Shower

I remember seeing a cartoon similar to this one a few months ago. Here you go:

I'm not sure who the original author is so I could credit but I got the image from here.

It seems like I'm interested more in hand lettering than in comic-making these days so I'll probably be uploading more of my hand lettering postcards. Or maybe I've just been looking more into instagram nowadays so those photos-which-show-a-story is rubbing off on me.

I'm always jealous of those who not only makes great illustrations but takes great photos as well. Both illustrating and taking photos do not come easily to me; although I honestly think I've improved my illustrating skills throughout the years.

Room 203

I was thinking of creating a comic strip with Hades in honor of Halloween. But I thought there might be some other death-related Greek Mythology Gods which led me to Thanatos.

Thanatos is the Greek God of Peaceful Death, the personification of death itself. His touch is gentle and he carries off humans to the underworld when it is their time to go. I think it's cool that he seems not to be a scary god and that he shows that death could be non-violent and peaceful.

There are no Aliens Here

So at first I wanted to make this an alien short story. Alas, it turned out to be a comic strip again. :-S

The Seal and the Shark

This was inspired by all those shark Youtube videos I've been watching recently. I know, I'm such a nerd.

The Sleeping Princess

This isn't the first time I've done a Sleeping Beauty-inspired comic strip. It's just such an iconic Fairy Tale that I always think about it whenever I'm in the mood to create something fairy tale-ish. Here is the first one I created a long time ago!

... and this is what the blog is all about

The blog title says it all: I love creating cartoons and comic strips! I'm technologically-challenged so everything is made using watercolors and colored pencils. Not complaining though; I like testing and hoarding art stuff. I would like to learn how to create digital art someday... when I get the actual interest for it.

A little more details about the content of the blog--

This blog centers mainly on comic strips starring a gang of fictitious, lovable characters who wreak havoc in a rural town called Capiz! If you are new to the site and want to learn more about the its background, origin and a brief description of its characters, then please visit this page.

The contents are created for pure fun and are not aimed to poke fun at any religious or political figures, cultural beliefs and the like.

All photos are taken by the author unless otherwise stated.

Are there blog categories?

There sure are!

I usually post anything under the sun but here are the main categories of this blog:

The Capiz Gang. This is the main content of this blog and the characters are inspired by Filipino folklore creatures. :)

Greek Mythology Comic Strips. I love Greek Mythology. I hope you do, too!

Fairy Tale-Inspired Comic Strips. This is a pretty new addition. The title is pretty much self-explanatory.

Practicing My Hand Lettering. I got bitten by the calligraphy/hand lettering bug! So here's a new category for this.

Random General Comic Strips. Random comics but still with a dash of humor.
