Hi Carlo,

Do forgive me for this rather "obtuse comment".

I am sending this email to all possible avenues I can think of to answer a particular problem I am currently facing.

Do you, or anyone else out there have a good, crisp picture of the UP OBLATION in close-up - (high-resolution jpeg or tiff format - ideally 1.2 mb up) that can be used for a printed book cover? (Yung tipo ng kuha na "halos nakatutok na ang lente ng camera sa ilong ni Oble".)

As part of the UP Centennial celebrations, I am designing the cover of the 100-YEAR HISTORY OF U.P. MANILA. I am doing this as A PRO BONO PROJECT for the university and as such, there is no remuneration for the picture to be used EXCEPT to properly credit the photographer on the acknowledgement and cover flap. The use of the photograph selected will also be extended on the advertisement and promotional materials of the book (kung may budget pa ang UP for promotion)

Here's the hitch... I have to come up with the cover design by JUNE 14th, so the deadline would be on the same day. Hehehe, kung larong patintero ito, matatawag nating "kulto finish".

You, your friend or relative (or even pet) can have the image sent to this addie - dtayona@gmail.com - with his or her complete name for proper crediting.

Again, this is a pro bono or volunteer project for UP.

Thank you so much...
Palma Tayona

p.s. feel free to spread the word...

How To Pace Comics

We took a peek at compression and decompression in comics in the previous blog post . Now, let's look at pacing, or how to pace comics. Pacing is simply how fast a reader reads your comics. Much like compression and decompression, pacing allows you to highlight pivotal events in your story. And this is primarily done by influencing how long your reader stays on a panel. The longer the reader stays on the panel, the reading place slows down. The faster the reader stays on a panel, the reading pace speeds up. 1. By default, the amount of text you place on a panel dictates pacing. The more text, the slower the pace. Chris Claremont is known for having verbose panels during his acclaimed run on Uncanny X-Men . 2. When the size of the panel is small, the pacing quickens. Conversely, large panels slow down the pacing. 3. Then the amount of visual information (details) you have inside a panel dictates pacing. The more visual information, or the more a reader has to look at, the

What Would You Do With 11 Billion Pesos?

The news industry is abuzz with reports of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos'purchase of The Washington Post for US$250 million, said to come from the liquidation of his Amazon stocks. As of this writing, that amount translates to Php10.88 billion. (It's actually Php10.885. I just took out the 5.) If you had Php10.88 billion, what would you do? To put things in perspective, I made a few calculations, since I'm wont to doing these things as a mental exercise. The examples below do not take inflation into account. MALLS If you allot Php2 billion to start and operate a modest-sized mall, you can build five malls, and you've got spare change to invest somewhere else. (SM Aura was reported to have cost Php3.5 billion.) CONDOMINIUM If you allot Php1.5 billion to build a 300-unit condominium building (DMCI was reported to have invested Php 1.3 billion in a 560-unit Ohana Residences), you'll have seven such buildings. HOUSING If you allot Php100 million to build and furni

Two Weeks Since Burnout

I think it all started in late-2021. I had been feeling huge bouts of depression in the years prior to that, which had prevented me from making comics. But a friend gave me a tip that enabled me to reassess what I had been going through, and that helped a lot. I ended 2021 with writing and drawing a short comic "Zsazsa Zaturnnah sa PNU," commissioned by the Philippine Normal University. It was a breakthrough for me, as the last comic I was able to finish was in 2016. You can read it here. After that, I dove into finishing the much-delayed "Zsazsa Zaturnnah sa Kalakhang Maynila." I spent the first seven months of 2022 working on the last 50 pages of that story alongside my teaching job at the College of Saint Benilde. I also spent time and energy on the pre-production and promotion of the book. You can download a PDF version for free (or pay-what-you-want) through my Gumroad page . For Philippine residents, you can purchase a physical copy of the book through Shopee
