Midnight Story 1: Alitaptap

I met Manix Abrera at the local convention here in Manila back in 2010 which was KOMIKON. I've admired his genius and his humility even more after reading his silent comic book called "12"

I've attended all of his Solo Exhibits in the Philippines and I'm proud to have bought at least one piece from every exhibit. Early in March 2023, I met up with Manix and Miguel Mercado for dinner and Manix wanted to pass by the Art Gallery prior. He said he wanted to turnover some art for an upcoming local art show. Manix showed this piece and was astonished by a new canvas he found. The guy keeps surprising me!

DISCLAIMER: I DID NOT RESERVE THIS at the Gallery. I fell in line before ART IN THE PARK 2023 opened. As soon as the gates opened, I walked briskly to the Galerie Stephanie Booth and bought this immediately. Manix thought I was kidding when I said that I wanted it. Why would I joke about it? :D

Anyway, here is Manix's latest masterpiece - Midnight Story 1: Alitaptap or "FIREFLY" in English.

I just love the new colors Manix got. Reminded me of ML's Ghost Rider piece!
