Stelios Fanart

I made a fanart of Stelios from the Zack Snyder helmed movie 300 based from the graphic novel by Frank Miller (which was kick-ass...needless to say).

I uploaded it on The Blurb.

Check it out here.

Hi, I'm Jonas...

I think it’s official: I’m a workaholic.

I just spent Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with virtually no sleep to coordinate a major client’s website launch (and the gazillions details that go into it) that went live Saturday afternoon. You’d think I’d slow down a bit after that but what do I do after a massage and a few hours sleep?

I get right back to work.

What can I say? I love my job.

How a Comic Book is Made

I write about how a typical comic book is made.

It’s great to be a comic book geek nowadays.

Comic books are enjoying new found popularity mostly because of the success of several movies based on comic book titles. These movies (and the merchandizing and licensing deals that was generated in connection with the franchises) have done a lot in terms of giving the comic book industry a much needed boost and bringing new readers to the much beloved medium.

Komikon at the Star

Ramon De Veyra covers the Summer Komikon for the Philippine Star.

The first “Summer Fiesta” Komikon focused more on independent and self-publishers. It was a good idea. One of my frustrations with the annual Komikon is that because it has become the venue for independent publishers to debut new work, many of them become complacent by making only one new book a year.

MySpace Laying off People

MySpace is laying-off 420 employees to cut costs bringing the total number of its workforce to 1,000. This was done in an effort to improve the social network’s operating efficiency.

"Simply put, our staffing levels were bloated and hindered our ability to be an efficient and nimble team-oriented company," added MySpace CEO Owen Van Natta in a statement. "I understand that these changes are painful for many. They are also necessary for the long-term health and culture of MySpace. Our intent is to return to an environment of innovation that is centered on our user and our product."

HTC Viva for Sale!

A friend of mine is selling his HTC Viva phone.

It's brand new, never been touched. The phone goes for Php 13,900.00 outside but my friend is willing to let it go for Php 10,000.00

He got it as part of a ex-deal payment.

He doesn't need one so he's just going to sell it instead. Drop me an e-mail over at admin (at) jonasdiego.com if you're interested.

There and Back Again

I’ve been remiss in my blogging duties, as I am wont to do from time to time.

There’s no new excuse however, just the usual “been very busy”.

Projects have been coming in at an ever increasing rate and I am hard put to keep up. It’s a good kind of problem to have and I am very grateful. There are worse things than having too many things on your plate.

Unfortunately, the blogging takes a hit in situations like this.

I haven’t even been able to Plurk that often resulting in a dramatic drop in my Karma which, all things considered doesn’t seem all that catastrophic.

I’m beginning to get a better handle on things however and I should be able to return to my regular blogging schedule soon.

Basically, this post is just meant to let you guys out there know that I’m still alive.

Hope you all have a good Friday and a wonderful weekend!
