Forget cookie-cutter capes and tights. Don Aguillo‘s art explodes with vibrant colors, intricate lines, and a unique blend: Filipino folklore colliding with pop culture icons. This Bay Area artist co-founded IH Studios and redefined indie comics with his own distinct magic.
His beloved creation, “Rise,” stars Tala, a Filipina inheriting mystical powers to battle ancient evil. It’s a superhero story, yes, but woven with Filipino heritage and challenging stereotypes. Aguillo’s not just an artist; he’s a champion for diversity in comics, mentoring young creators and fighting for inclusivity.
