Comics: The Garbage Artist

Illustration and Story by: Andrew Drilon
(5/5 )


"Nikka takes the things no one wants and makes art out of it... but this time, she may have made something else entirely..."

The Good:
The title alone would make a comiccon goer stop by to make a second look at this comic.

Then as you take in the entire picture of the cover, you'll get the sense of curiosity as to what might this be about while adoring the beautiful illustration.

As the story finishes up, you'll feel satisfied to have been luckily indulged in a great story that was poetically illustrated.

The Bad:
I'd love to see this work colored by the creator. Maybe the colors could further tell us more about the Lesspace and the Truniverse that GH-B or Gabby is talking about.

The Verdict:
Drilon will really surprise anyone if they found out that The Garbage Artist was done in less than 24 hours. This exceptional work would remind comic lovers of works published by Image Comics.

The comic creator's deep thoughts translated into this comic makes his works really worth buying from comic conventions.

"...sometimes you find the most amazing things in the trash." - Nikka

Anthology: Kare-Kare Komiks Platter

Illustration and Story by: Andrew Drilon
Studio Salimbal
(3.85/5 ★★★☆☆)


"seasoned with time, marinated in love and slow-roasted in the fires of hell, this culinary smorgasboard has something for everyone."

The Good:
This is an interesting anthology from Studio Salimbal. Most of the stories gave off the vibe that Image Comics has been offering.

The best story would be The Love Eaters. It is a story about Halik and Yakap, a takaw-puso, and their unending journey to satisfy their hunger. Their love story was cut off when a cunning snake made them attack one another.

The Bad:
The I Had A Dream Last Night, You Were In It story was the least favorite of mine among the collection. I just don't get it, what does sacrificing one's life for hunger has got to do with the title of the story? It just doesn't seem to match correctly.

The Verdict:
Kare-Kare Komiks Platter is a nice meal that Drilon has served to us on the table. The art and story resembles works that are usually seen produced by the U.S. comic book publisher, Image Comics. 

Garnishing it up with a beautiful cover, this was a well cooked dish. I'll be getting second servings on Drilon's next platter. Maybe even a third or a fourth if it continues to surprise and satisfy my cravings of a good comic book.
