He has been collaborating for many years with different companies such as Phaidon Press, Camper, Carolina Herrera, 212, La Vanguardia, Damm, etc.

Graphical humour. La Gracia. What he likes the most about Passeig de Gracia is that while the female Scandinavian Erasmus students walk down toward Plaça Catalunya, the Japanese girls are going in the opposite direction, and as they reach La Pedrera, looking down from a police helicopter the view is a constant flow of blond and black hair. It’s like a game of checkers.
