manix abrera

I've been bugging my boyfriend to introduce me to Kiko Machine Komix creator Manix Abrera for the longest time. When I finally met Manix and he agreed to have his creative space photographed, I couldn't believe how lucky I was. :)


Manix is the nicest guy ever! He lives in a very clean and impeccably organized studio, where all his books are safely wrapped with plastic cover. His pens and notebooks are even lined-up neatly on his desk whenever he draws. :) Take a peek into the world of well-know cartoonist Manix Abrera! 


*Also, check out his comic strip News Hardcore online! :)

  16. tumingin sa langit.. dati pag uuwe nako galing klase madalas nka backride ako sa tryk para makita ko langit habang bumbyahe. madalas lumalampas pa ko, dedma. pero tama. iba iba din yan e. sa pinas mahirap bilangin ang stars.. dito sa riyadh iisa lang! iisa. sa loob ng isang taon ko dito mas madame pako nakitang camel kesa sa star. isang piraso lang talaga.. sana pag two years nako dalawang stars naman makita ko. :)
