Gerry Alanguilan has been scanning some art sent to him by the wife of the late comics artist Vicente Catan Jr, better known as Vicatan, for the online Philippine Comics Art Museum; I love this Vicatan image from an adaptation of Melville’s “Billy Budd” on the Museum, the composition of the picture, with crowded foreground and the tall ship angled so it creates a virtual diagonal in the frame and Billy Budd in his own little circular frame which seems to say “look out, I’m someone special”; what a fantastic scene-setter.
