Good times with good and talented people in my hometown Madrid, painting for Muros Tabacalera, an initiative curated by Madrid Street Art Project.

Thanks a lot to Diana and Guillermo for including me in this edition, where the common subject was ‘Naturalezas Urbanas’ (urban nature).

Heading to Madrid next week! :)

The guys at Nike SB asked me to paint the floor of this temporary skatepark they built on a rooftop in Barcelona.

Ignoramps crew from Italy built these obstacles inspired by the most famous spots in Barcelona, then I improvised some drawings with a paint roller around them until I covered the whole surface.
Got sunburnt but it was mad fun, so amazing to see dudes like Luan Oliveira, Ishod Wair or Javier Sarmiento ripping it.

Happy to have a couple of walls featured in the book ‘Street art’ by Doccio Dogheria, the big one is from a couple years back in Zaatari, a spoiled refugee area between Jordan and Syria, close to one of the biggest refugee camps ever, in North Jordan.
One of the best experiences ever.

I’ll be showing this new painting at the official launch of Bali Green agency. A nice group show next Saturday in Valkiria Hub Space, in Barcelona. Come over!

Treasures from France 🇫🇷

‘Located among the warehouses of a former military barracks in Bordeaux, DARWIN is an alternative space shared by 100 companies and 30 associations united around common goals: the reduction of their companies’ environmental footprints, creating new economic synergies and promoting urban cultures.’

As part of some sustainable projects we are working on, our friends Javi and Carine took us to this amazing place where we could plan some stuff with them, ride their skateparks, play some psychedelic music with grandmaster Seb and I could also paint this guetto van I found in the surroundings before we left.
Hope to be back soon to this spot, a good example for society.

Communication with nature in South France. Well needed.
Many thanks to los amigos Javier and Carine!

This project I was part of recently in Dubai was mad fun: an empty waterpark and 3 of the best transition skateboarders: Alex Sorgente, Milton Martinez and Dubai local Jan Hoffmann. Red Bull was behind this project and selected a good team, including my good friend Edu Muñoz who directed the whole clip. I took care of the creative direction so we created a funny story and made this crazy thing happen!

I did this drawing of a VX1000 camera so my friend Maysam can get it tattooed by Charl Steyn.
For those who know.

Barcelona and its treasures.

Proud to help my friends Maysam and Ahmed on their project Anthlgy, a Middle East based and produced skateboard company.
These are the products I have collaborated on. You can find them and more info about the project in www.anthlgy.com

Wall in the German School of Dubai.

Art teacher Lisa’s been coming to Tashkeel for over two years trying to get us involved in one of their school walls. Lot of things happened in between, including a relocation of the school.
They have a stunning brand new school now with nice clean walls and I was lucky to paint on one of those. Well, me and fourteen students from class eleven.

We had a previous meeting were we discussed the subject: the quote by Aristoteles ‘The roots of education are bitter but the fruits are sweet’.
They worked on their own vision of this sentence, bringing nice drawings including pinapples, flying dragons, rainbows and lots of other stuff.

I made a selection from those ideas, added my own interpretation of the quote and came out with this design, that we all painted in 4 days. Really cool guys this class 11.
