Video has become quite of an interest for me in addition to comics. It's really just a way of having fun. Whatever it is about, I'm game for that! The contest, it just so happens, is by Coca-Cola Philippines. Having enjoyed a nice relationship with Coke for most of my life, I thought well, promoting it didn't seem much of a problem to me.<br><br>Besides, the prizes are nothing to sneeze at. I could always use a new LCD TV (ours is like almost 20 years old!), or a new Digicam. Of course, that's if I win. But I'm not really thinking about that.&nbsp; I wouldn't have done it if I didn't get the right idea and story for it though. Once the idea clicked, I knew I just had to do it because it seemed so much fun, even if the first prize was just a can of Coke.<br><br><br><a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=8aLyNWnw4y0">http://youtube.com/watch?v=8aLyNWnw4y0</a><br><br>My thanks to my good old friend Architect <strong>Arlan Esmeña</strong> for being in the video with me.

I photocopied 10 to 15 copies and mailed them off to friends. Somehow, one issue found its way to Budjette Tan, a guy who I’d never met, but who was at the time putting together a comic book with his friends called “Comics 101″. Budjette wrote to me (on paper) and asked if I would allow Wasted to be included in his comic book. To be honest, I didn’t want to. At the time, I was still holding on to Wasted like a private thing, first just for myself, then next shared with a few friends. I wasn’t prepared to share Wasted with a whole lot of strangers.</p> <p>After a few days of fretting over whether to agree or not, I finally decided to let it go and mailed the original pages of Wasted #1 to Budjette. Turns out Budjette received the pages just in time. The way I understand it, they were on the process of going to press with it when my pages arrived. I thought, oh, to hell with it.

The first time I saw Shadow was in “ashcan” form, the term used back then to mean photocopied mini comics. I bought it from Filbar’s Dapitan back when there was still a Filbar’s behind UST, and when I still lived in a very old house along P. Noval.</p> <p>I remember reading the mini comic and then laughing my head off. The artwork was very crude, but there was something there. But I just loved the writing.

It was the forum afterwards that I was looking forward to because answering questions allows me to focus more on a specific topic. It is through these interactions that I get the opportunity to think very hard about my own beliefs and once in a while I'd get an insight that allows me to further mold those beliefs.

There might be one or two visitors to my site who might know who he is, but I think most won't. I've never talked about him before anywhere, and I've never really counted him as an influence in any way. Danny Federici died last April 17, 2008, and when I heard about it, it saddened me greatly, more than I expected it would. Danny was a long time member of Bruce Springsteen's E-Street Band who played the keyboards, organs, and occasionally, the accordion. He was diagnosed with melanoma three years ago and it finally claimed him more than a week ago. I'm a great lover of music and I've collected many LPs, cassette tapes and now CDs. I'd buy albums unheard simply because I read a good review, or I liked the name of the band, or I liked the album cover. Sometimes I'd hear this great song on the radio and I'd buy the album on the strength of that song alone. I found many favorites like The Who, Dire Straits, Big Country, U2, Tom Petty, Eraserheads, The Youth, Chain Gang, ... http://alanguilan.multiply.com/video/item/53/Danny_Federici_1950-2008 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 00:28:45 -0000 <a href="http://apefluff.com/colorful-illustrations-93c-please-do-not-buy-this-book/">In the light of this example</a>, I'm curious as to how you can really protect your work online.<br><br>For instance, if someone in Hong Kong (like the example in the link) puts together a book with artwork lifted from your site without your permission, how would you proceed?<br><br>Oft mentioned advice is to always have your work legally copyrighted (although according to copyright law, any work that you create is yours from the moment of&nbsp; it's creation).
