The Dance of Life by Gerry Alanguilan and Johnny Danganan

"The Dance of Life" is something I wrote specifically for Johnny Danganan back in 2009 for him to draw using his unique surreal style, a style he often uses in his paintings. I could not possibly know what he was feeling and thinking at the time,  and it was difficult trying to put myself in his shoes. It was just not possible. So I just winged it and tried to be as sensitive to Johnny as I could. He was into this "Healing Dance" thing which I also tried to integrate into this story.

This first appeared in one of the issues of Komikero Komiks Anthology. I thought I'd come back to it and recolor it now in November 2017, using color to tell part of the story that couldn't be possibly told in simple black and white.
