Like many authors, Budjette Tan had a dream. He wanted to get his comic book published in America so it could gain a wider readership.
While working long hours as a creative director at an ad agency in Manila, Budjette and his co-creator, artist Kajo Baldisimo, started writing the graphic novel Trese, featuring heroine Alexandra Trese, a detective who walks among Filipino mythical creatures and helps the cops solve supernatural crimes.
From its first print run of 30 copies, Trese gained a fan base. Budjette and Kajo became fixtures at Komikon Philippines, got on Neil Gaiman’s radar, and broke convention by being the first graphic novel to win the country’s prestigious National Book Award.
Trese was acquired by Netflix in 2018, which while an accomplishment in itself, was important because it led to the dream fulfilled: following the Netflix announcement, Budjette and Kajo got an email from Ablaze, a US-based comic book publisher, with an offer to carry the comic book. Trese is now available to a US audience.
All this only took 15 years.
In this interview, we learn about the attitudes and systems Budjette and Kajo devised so they could make time for creative work and get their comic book into the world with limited resources.
We also hear Budjette’s perspective on balancing this creative work with his advertising career. Parallel to Trese’s rise, he rose to Executive Creative Director at MRM/McCann Philippines and has since taken on another challenging role as Senior Brand Creative at LEGO, his current day job.
