to have two back-to-back online events led by SISC’s College
of IT. The 1st IN2ITION Workshop Series, the second big event
during the IT Week held on May 7th 2021, featured three
segments and three speakers, each with a unique topic.
Mr. Elmer Damaso opened the session by discussing

comics and works he has developed and done, including one
named “Culture Crash” and one titled “Horizon Zero Liberation
Comics” that he is currently working on today. He then gave a
plethora of insights and guidance for other artists like himself.
He addressed questions while showcasing off his amazing

the techniques and methods used in creating his art.
