Studio Salimbal will be represented at the Visprint Writers In Talks event this Saturday. Mervin Malonzo will be at the Writer's Lifestyle panel, then he'll join Paolo Chikiamco, and Budjette Tan (maybe) for the Komiks Talk panel, and Paolo sticks around for the Publishing 101 panel immediately after. (We may pop into other panels as well, because we have problems shutting up at times.) 

Those attending will likely be available for signing books when not on their panels, and many of the books themselves will be discounted, so come on by!

Here's our next #SalimbalSketches member roundup for 2015. The topic this week was "Chinese New Year." The times for the quick sketches ranged from 10 minutes to around 90. As always, feel free to join in, just tag your images with #SalimbalSketches so we can find them.

In order, here are pieces by:
* Cristina Rose Chua
* Elbert Or

* Butch Mapa
* Koi Carreon
* Andrew Drilon

And one piece submitted from outside the Studio, by Ruben Nacion!
