By Earl D.C. Bracamonte

Comic creator, art director, and Marvel illustrator Peejay M. Catacutan will be one of the speakers in the forthcoming ADAAF x Likhaan 2021: Towards the Frontline comic-con.

For his two-hour virtual engagement dubbed "It's Comic Time," Peejay will be giving art aficionados and budding creators a lowdown on the basics of comic creation.

As a Filipino comic book creator and illustrator, he sits as the art director for OSSM Comics, a California-based independent comic publishing company, where he works on xenoglyphs and monomyth.

He has produced card illustrations for Marvel Comics under the Upper Deck Company, and is currently working on covers for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT): The Last Ronin, as well as books for Aftershock and Image Comics.

To know more about the comic-con, as well as on the various aspects of comic book creation, illustration, art direction, and/or character development, simply visit the Facebook page of the Ateneo de Naga University, this year's moderators, as well as the Department of Digital Arts and Computer Animation.

Interested parties may also get in touch with the university's Senior High School department for other topics like 2D animation and visual effects. The comic-con is slated to unfold next week, May 11, 2021.
