Andie Tong has a rich portfolio with the big players, including Disney, Marvel Comics, DC Comics and Dark Horse Comics. He shares great acquaintances with superheroes who made it to the silver screen as well. Andie has worked on Spectacular Spiderman UK as a regular artist, and completed the Tron: Betrayal graphic novel for Marvel Comics, which serves as a prequel to the Walt Disney Pictures, Tron: Legacy. He recently completed a HarperCollin’s children’s storybook for the Dark Knight Rises, published in conjunction with the release of the blockbuster this month.

Gerry Alanguilan, Comic Book Inker

Gerry Alanguilan is known as an inker for Marvel Comics and DC Comics. His works include Superman: Birthright from DC Comics, Avenging Spider-man, X-Men and Ultimate Avengers from Marvel Comics. He is also involved in Supercrooks, the latest series on Super Villains from Marvel Comics. Alanguilan also has his own works. His comic book ELMER was nominated for an Eisner Award (considered the Oscar Awards of the comics industry) for best new graphic album in 2011, and won the Prix Asie ACBD and the Quai Des Bulles Prize in France last year (the inspiration of the book stemmed from a chicken which he owned as a child!) 

 

Gabby S. Tiongson, Cartoonist

Weaving his background in medicine with a strong imagination and a bold drawing style, Tiongson creates extraordinary pieces that demonstrate the surgical precision of a scalpel. Like a hyper-energetic Frankenstein, he concocts “design ideas” that graft together body parts – human, animal and imaginary. Commissioned by big brands like Redbull & Wabi Sabi, the self-taught artist also owns his clothing line, Galactic Exiles. His first Vinyl Figure produced by Vinyl On Vinyl x VTSS called Squidwurd is scheduled for release at STGCC.
