FAQs

1. ARE THESE GRAPHICS YOURS?

Yes they are indeed mine. I do everything from the initial sketching to the digital optimization. Some of the things that are featured here were little fragments of the actual scenario that happened to me years before. And some are just things that went crazy on my mind during the conceptualization phase.

2. IS PATTY AND MARTIN A “REAL LIFE” COUPLE?

I don’t think they are a couple yet. But, yes I think they share some similarities with my “real-life” friend and her boyfriend – but they are not fat, though. Patty exudes most of my characteristics.

3. ARE YOU PAID TO DO THIS?

No. It’s just a hobby that I love doing. I don’t really think I need to be paid to do this. These are all products of my past experiences – that are actually worth sharing to the people all around the globe.

4. HOW DID YOU START?

This might sound stupid but one day I was doodling something on my sketch pad – I placed a striking statement “I beat anorexia” and bursted into tears laughing because of the contrasting ideas. Then I made more.

5. I HAVE A LOT OF IDEAS! DO YOU ACCEPT REQUESTS?

Oh sure! Knock yourselves out! E-mail me at reginegarcia@live.com and I’ll try to feature it here plus credits. That’s a fantastic idea!

6. WHAT SOFTWARE WAS USED TO MAKE THESE CARTOONS?

I use Adobe Photoshop CS4 and sometimes I do program switching from Macromedia Freehand MX to Adobe Illustrator (vice versa) depending on my mood because they are just the same.

7. DO YOU USE A TABLET?

Nope. Sad to say I am a bit prehistoric. I do these instead: Doodle, Scan, Color, Save!

8. WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS THIS YEAR?

Since I just started uploading a few illustrations, hopefully I expect to have one cartoon a day or maybe 25 (minimum) in a month. In terms of viewers, I am not expecting that they will love my works entirely, but maybe a few page visits will be ok for me – to let me know that I am not talking to myself all the time.

9. WHERE DO YOU LIVE, BTW?

Oooh. Philippines!
