Piece to be displayed at Barcelona Contemporary
Art Festival this November
So
when you come up with new graphics or ideas,
do you design with the commercial aspect in
mind, or does that come secondary?
I'm not a child anymore. I'm leaving with
my girlfriend and I have my own design studio
to run, and many invoices to pay, so it would
be stupid to not admit that sometimes I catch
some "good money" commercial work
but I don't actually find that it is a problem
as long as I won't sell my soul. Following
my own style is important, and this is fist
thing in my mind.
Have you had your work displayed in
any galleries or exhibitions lately?
Yeah I had some painting exhibitions, mostly
in Milan and Barcelona, and recently I've
been painting hard for a new upcoming exhibition
here in Barcelona.
What else do you do, besides art?
Skate, music, swimming, loving *:
So what's your favourite skate spot
in Barcelona?
Definitely Macba
What influences your style and artwork?
So many things, happenings, life, travels
and things I see in general. I love reading
books and magazines to find photos that inspire
me, I also have been influenced by the art
of other artists such as Charles Schultz and
his Peanuts for the way he designs oversized
heads for example. I also enjoy the art of
other illustrators or street artist like me,
too many to mention. I love you all!
Some
of your work has been used by Spunky clothing
in the UK, how did that
come about?
Actually I don't remember how that thing came
out!? ..but I feel proud to collaborate with
them!
Can we see your work within any other
brands?
I am doing lots of collaborations. It should
be secret but I will tell you: I'm currently
working on the launching of my own clothing
brand with an Italian partner. Stay tuned!
