Road to the Komiks Congress

I should have posted this sooner but anyway, Gerry has been plugging about the upcoming Komiks Congress. According to his recent post, it's been moved to March but in the meantime, there'll be an art exhibit in the same venue that'll serve as a sort of prelude to the event:

"An art exhibit will be held at the venue of the Congress, at the lobby of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts or the NCCA, located along General Luna Street, Intramuros, Manila. The art exhibit will be officially opened on February 22 at 10:00 am (formerly 2:00 pm), and will serve as a lead-in to the congress itself. The list of artists included in the exhibit are:

NAR CASTRO
VIC AURE
JOMARIE MONGCAL
JUN LOFAMIA

Greater emphasis was given to the work of the older generation of artists, and it’s nice to see that artists who have passed on like Alfredo Alcala (Voltar), Ruben Yandoc, and Mar Santana (Lastikman) shall be represented by their artwork.

Notable on this list is Lan Medina, who is old enough to have been actively involved in the old komiks industry, and is now enjoying much international recognition for his work on DC’s Vertigo and Marvel."
