The Featured Rogue

Rogue2

I am featured as one of today's top Filipino illustrators in this month's issue of Rogue(a local magazine). I hope you can grab a copy and read about all the featured artists. Aside from the interview, you will also see  the artists' self-portraits drawn in our own distinct styles.

It's funny how I loved to use the handle Rogue back in grade school. So here's the portrait of that fun-loving and mischievous kid. I also submitted this to Lenovo's Mobile O1 cover design competition last October and was fortunate enough to have placed in the said contest.

  1. Congratulations on the interview. Waahoooooo! I truly enjoyed reading it and envisioning you as a little scamp, taking apart your toys and wrestling with a little octopus. You must have had a charmed childhood, because it shines through in your details.

  4. Your illustrations Bjornik recall an enchanted time. It was interesting to read the interviews. I always thought that Asian illustrators had a fantastical way of creating. I enjoyed reading the Komiks of my youth. My favorite strip was Nog-nog. Your mother may remember. It is a pleasure to see you recognized. You work so hard!

  8. Hello again,
    I am looking at buying one of you marvelous and magical skins for an iPod! When I look at the store I can not tell, is it full body coverage (front and back)? Also if your wonderful design is on the front screen, is it easy to see through the design to watch movies and read things on the screen? Thank you so much for letting me know!

  9. Thanks everyone!

    Tammie, I haven't seen an actual iPod with my designed skins on it yet but from what I saw on the site it's a full body coverage. I don't know how it is with iPods but you may opt not to download the art for wallpapers.:)
