|  | New Beginnings: An Interview with Culture Crash continued... PO: What are your opinions on Filipino comic art styles? CC: There are many styles out there and we have an open mind with regards to this. It really depends on whose art styles in particular you are talking about. It then depends on our individual tastes as to what we think of it. I mean we appreciate, Mars Ravalo for his creativity, Larry Alcala for his style of humor, as well as Pol Medina Jr. Them and many, many others. To not recognize local talent would be a big mistake indeed. PO: Who are your influences? CC: Hmmm... I'll try to get back to you when everyone else is present ok? I think you can count the Filipino artists I've already mentioned as well as Kosuke Fujishima, Chris Claremont, Rumiko Takahashi, Mazakuzi Katsura, Tetsuya Egawa, Gainax, Hayao Miyazaki, Masamune Shirow, and ummm... I'll get back to you =) PO: Are there any interesting experiences and messages you have received since publishing Culture Crash? CC: Yes, a lot! Like being invited as special guests to an anime fan club showing, being asked to sign copies, fan clubs being established, and well, a lot of weird and cool letters! Also being featured at Manila Bulletin (2 Pages!) The Junior Inquirer, Extra Extra, and soon at Questor! We are also going to have a booksigning sponsored by Powerbooks at Megamall and an upcoming symposium at UST HS. And we're not even 3 months old yet! Hopefully our circulation gets better so that we can give back to our readers in some way. PO: Where do you see yourselves 10 years from now? CC: Ten years older, and hopefully alive and well. =) Sorry but I don't want to jump the gun here, let's just see what happens ok? PO: Anything you want to say to your readers out there? CC: Thank you for the incredibly positive response! We hope that you help spread the word! And bug the big bookstores who keep hiding us in the deepest darkest corners of their shelves. As soon as we get back some of our investments, we will try our best to bring back some of the goodness to you! [ prev page ] [ top ] [ next article ] |
