KOMIKS INTERBYU: Boy Bakal

Todays KOMIK INTERBYU, we will now feature indie komiks creator Carlo! He is usually called Jebs, kinda funny but he made his debut with BOY BAKAL at the Metro Comic Convention this year. Now he is inspired for more.

When did you started making komiks?
when i was in 4th grade, we had a project and we need to make a comic strip about our favorite cartoon character.well..during that time, i dont know anything about comics, and so my mom told me to paint so I've been a painter until 3rd year high school, and then i quit painting and started making comics again, because my mom bought me a book "how to draw manga" well it all stated there i guess..


Who/What were your inspirations in making one?
It all stated when my dad bought the iron man essentials from america and gave it to me when i was in 4th year high school, and then i started making boy bakal... but the first boy bakal wasnt that successful because of school works so i quit making boy bakal. time passed and one time, i went to a comic convention and saw alot of indie comics, the first one i bought is kalayaan #1(by gio paredes), baboy(mel casipit),and other indie comics until i ran out of money(hehe i guess this happend a year ago) and so on, i was so inspired more to make comics by then.


Do you make scribbles while in class?
I DO!!! i mean i dont listen to the teacher anymore LOL


What creation is the one you are most proud of?
I guess as for now,its boy bakal.


Do you feel possessed by your own creations?
hahaha sometimes, i feel like i want to be the character of my own comic


If one of your characters will be made into a live action series, who is it and who will play the role?
ah! well i'm fun of making a child as a main character(im not pedo alright) i guess i can be the actor itself ^_^ hahaha asa pa


Where you want to see your comics 5 years from now?
hm... let see... comic stores?


Any plans to publish your work in another language other than Filipino or English?
hm... thats a great idea! why not?(well boy bakal is made pure filipino ver of iron man LOL)


Are you willing to cosplay one of your characters? 
I'm planing to do that actually ^_^ well i'm fun of cosplaying as well


Did you fell in love with one of your works?
well yeah! i'm inlove the female character in boy bakal ^_^ but i'm more on girls who are older that me... hahaha wait...the girl from my comic is older that the main character(oops "nadulas" ata ako)
