i know of an animator when i was in high school, many moons ago. nakapantalon na ko noon…he was my classmate in high school… his name is Delfin Barras, matanda ‘yon kaysa akin, and he was a good artists/animator. while we were in our fourth year at Araullo High School, Delfin Barras is making extra money at a young age by doing drawings for the stories of Celso Carunungan and Pilipino Komiks, and i think also TIKTIK magazaine.(the name alone of this magazine will make you wonder what kind of article it publishes) I hope somebody could stumble into this comment of mine and knows the whereabouts of Delfin Barras…can you please relay to him to contact me thru this blog!!! and if Delfin Barras could read this….i want to tell him!!!

Hi. I stumbled upon your reply here and i would like to ask some questions for my simple speech project this monday >> march 19 2007. I am KX Esporlas, 4th year engineering stude from UP Diliman. My speech is about inspiring and encouraging my classmates to learn and explore their skills in learning and doing animations. im currently doing animation on the side but not earning yet coz i aint that good yet. I just wanna know if youngsters, like undergrads can do and EARN even little in doing animation on the side while in college. I need names and figures of how much and to what extend could the opportunities in this field has to offer them, i find only few names and figures (mostly not philippine setting) over the internet. i was planning to visit and do an informal interview at holycowanimation studio at taguig but my class always takes the entire day. Hope you could share me some ideas. Thank You!

i’m very proud for all the filipino artists in the world right now. Not just in animation but in other mediums as well. Sana dumami pa ang mga pilipinong kagaya ninyo.
