Treasure Planet x Castle in the Stars

Building a solarboat is not easy, esp. with a deadline. Feeling alone, Astro, a 10-year-old orphan boy, finds a friend in a fallen star, who helps him search his small mountain village for parts. Will he make it in time for All Souls Day?

“STARSCAPING” is a Filipino-inspired pastoral fantasy #GN about Astro, a 10-year-old orphan boy, who dreams of building his own solarboat and seeing his parents again. With the help of a local astronomer and a fallen star, can Astro finish building it on time for All Souls Day?

(6/6) Thank you for reading my mini comic 💖 I thought it would be cool to parallel the concept of practicing magic to the process of creating comics, and just art in general, hence the witchy imagery.

How about you? What's your creative journey like? 🌻

Someday, I'll have my own graphic novel published--both locally and overseas 🌻

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead”

even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.

Can't agree with this more. I get asked this a lot in the PH, where most people never even imagined working in comics full time. For us, it's the stuff dreams are made of.

The entire community thrives on the backs of creators who love the form so much they continue making it despite all the odds.

First time joining #PortfolioDay 🥳
