Breaking into Comics
I’ve been in the independent comic circuit for some time but I’ve never considered going pro til recently. Lawrence Mijares of Siklab magazine hired me to create The Adventures of Captain Scam, a gag strip about a superhero who has the superpower to con people with ridiculously extreme ease.

Influences in Comics
I had a lot of influences but the biggest ones were Pol Medina Jr. (a popular Filipino cartoonist who inspired me to draw comic strips when I was a child), Shotaro Ishinomori (for his trademark cartoony manga style), and Stan Sakai (for his clean, simple yet elegant lineart and cinematographic paneling in Usagi Yojimbo). Cartoons (especially Spongebob Squarepants, Samurai Jack, Fairly Odd Parents and Cow and Chicken), fantasy stories, video games and martial arts movies also play a big part in their influences on me.
