The Dreamking, his promise, and a tribute

There has been quite a stir in the Philippine graphic novel loving community at the inception and just-culmination of UNMASKED: The 1st Philippine Graphic/Fiction Award sponsored by Neil Gaiman in close cooperation with Fully Booked. The contest was launched sometime in October of 2005 with the actual award ceremony held on July 15, 2006 at the Rockwell tent. The link for the video below was sent to Neil via email by one of the minds behind the intro-animation shown at the event proper. One named Jason Tan.

[please read Neil Gaiman's July 31 post via his journal for more details]

It was just a little over a year ago when me and Ainna and a batallion of her graphic novel loving friends joined hoardes more of Gaiman-fans from all over the country if only for a glimpse or a chance to have personal copies of novels and comics and whatnots signed by one of the greatest living minds in the known world. The video reminds me more of how it is to have witnessed, first hand, what Neil meant by "wall of sound."

Thanks Jason Tan and company for sharing your masterful craft to those of us who have not been keen on following The 1st Philippine Graphic/Fiction Award.
