About the Site
Phantoons of the Opera is a website repository for the Phantom-themed artwork of Romil Ilagan (aka Raphael). It is dedicated to the sublime beauty of a classic tale of an ugly dude and a hot chick. There might have been some music involved, too.


About the Artist
Romil Ilagan is a freelance illustrator residing in the San Francisco Bay Area and has been a Phantom of the Opera fan for over twenty years. He has been drawing since before he could write the alphabet and has continued to perfect his craft under art instruction both in America and overseas. He also enjoys speaking in the third person. He is relatively sure this is not a sign of mental illness. Mostly. Like, a 50/50 chance.
