I was handed this photo by komiks illustrator Abe Ocampo for posting on this site. It's amazing how a young Orvy Jundis looks a lot like Pol Medina! For a larger image click here.

I was invited today by a group of veteran komiks illustrators to a meeting at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife in Quezon City to discuss a possible komiks project. Good thing I brought along my nifty digicam. It's always cool to hang out with artists who have been around for a long time because they have a lot of great stories, and they're quite uninhibited, animated and unrelentingly frank.

Below is a video of Abe Ocampo talking animatedly about his early career, with some interesting insight on the workings of komiks during that time.
