Filipino Artists

I walked through Downtown Plaza in Sacramento and ran across The Comic Lounge. Comic books are a part of many people's lives, including my own. One of my favorite heroes and role models is Superman. With the recent success of movies adapted from comic books, many more are being exposed on a massive scale.

A friend of mine is also an avid comic book fan, and he has been working on a documentary called American Komikeros. A very talented artist in his own right, the documentary is going to be about the many Filipino comic book artists in America. You can check out his Web site at http://www.leroid.com/.

One of my favorite is Whilce Portacio, who worked on X-Men and Wetworks. In fact, for X-Men, he created the character Bishop. You can check out his Web site at http://whilceportacio.net/.

One day, I hope to meet more of the artists at a convention.
