by Jonas Diego

tagailogWhat is your name?
My name is Melvin Calingo. Comic book peeps also know me by my pseudonym Tagailog.

How long have you been making comic books?
I’ve been drawing comics since I was in grade 6. My classmates and I used to draw on folded bond papers and trade with each other. We drew Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics mostly.

Are you a full-time comic book creator or do you have a day job?
I used to draw comics for a living. Nowadays, I draw mostly as a hobby.

I’m an Art Director for Digital Art Chefs. We specialize in art outsourcing and concept designs for games, comics, and basically anything related to art.

What comic book project are most known for?
I guess Pasig would be on the top of my list. I also drew Ragnarok comics for Level Up! Games, which ran on Philippine Daily Inquirer and three volumes of Destiny’s Hand for Seven Seas Entertainment in the US.
