You have a chance to get your own drawing by actor Tom Rodriguez — but first, donate to daily wage earners affected by the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine.
The “Dragon Lady” star showed his digital art on Instagram, some of which are portraits of comic book characters such as Clark Kent and Thanos.
