Filipino artist Arnold Arre worked in several ad agencies in the Philippines before deciding on a career as a freelancer, saying, "I guess I'm more of a storyteller than an advertiser." Arnold tells his stories through both illustration and comics, as can be seen on his website at www.arnold-arre.com. He has won two Manila Critics Circle National Book Awards for his graphic novels The Mythology Class (2000), a four-part action/adventure miniseries, and Trip to Tagaytay (2001), a future fiction piece, released under his own graphic design/publishing company Tala Studios. Arnold says comics are "a powerful medium that can reach out to audiences unlike any other. It is nothing like reading a book or watching a movie. It is somewhere in between." He recently had his first solo gallery show, Mythos, wherein he created images of characters from Philippine folklore, and was part of the 2001 Filipino American Art Expo Exhibits in San Francisco and New Jersey.

Arnold's art appears in Graphic Classics: H.P. Lovecraft, and on the cover of Graphic Classics: Jack London.
