But I can duplicate any of their works using my own drawing skill but not given the chance to develop or make it a means to survive. Yet still, i am obsessed of works which will be like the artworks of Michaelangelo, Da Vinci and toher masters ...forever! My hand salute to Ka Nestor Malgapo!<BR/><BR/>Nestor A.

Different artists have diffrent styles.<BR/><BR/>The works and style of Nestor Redondo is detailed and realsitic though the genre deals more with futuristic fiction and fantasy. He is very good in drawing the human anamtomy without the aid of a model. <BR/><BR/>He was based in Los Angeles, California since 1987. Has been doing business trips dealing with DC and Marvel in the late seventies and early eighties. He died in December 1995 due to cardio-pulmonary complications in Granada Hills Medical Center in San Fernando Valley, California.His remains was flown in to the Philippines by his wife by January of the following year.<BR/><BR/>He ventured into animation.The last work he did was Art Director for Calico Company in Los Angeles and work on the TV animation show "Mr. Bogus". He also did oil paintings and made one for a cover of Conan The Barbarian Magazine.He id the layout for hte movie poster of the original "Transformers" movie.<BR/><BR/>Artistic talent runs in his family who are mostly based in Lso Angeles. One is an architect, another a graphic designer and one based in Manila who is into musci working as a DJ.<BR/><BR/>Neil Gaiman mentions Nestor Redondo as one of his favorites when he visited the Philippines. Johnny Wilson the actor, the famous artist Monique Wilson's father, is also a big fan and a good friend.His early contemporaries are Francisco V. Coching and Larry Alcala.<BR/><BR/>What makes Nestor Redondo popular among other artis is his selfless sharing of his talent and opportunities thru mentoring potential artist and even employing them.<BR/><BR/>I hope we don't have to debate who is best rather collectively support the filipino artists.<BR/><BR/>Roy Redondo<BR/>Los Angeles<BR/>(trabvelling in New Zealand)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871598422236662788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8801708.post-1144559834621260712006-04-08T22:17:00.000-07:002006-04-08T22:17:00.000-07:00Anon: Thanks for the additional info.
