Facebook contacted me to paint a wall in their brand new Middle East offices in a flashy 40th floor of a building in Media City, Dubai.
I made this artwork before the official opening, and it is a big mosaic of characters representing connectivity, islamic culture and what I really think of Facebook.

As usual, you meet interesting people while sharing endless nocturnal hours on spray fumes like Richard (or Ricardo), a security guard from Filipinas with an artist soul, he played some classic r'n'r tunes on my lil guitar while I was painting, we did some amazing duets like ‘The house of the rising sun’ and he also paints some impressionist art on his day off. Or CobraSnake (I never understood his real name), a cleaner from India who has two girlfriends, two of the guettoest tattoos I’ve ever seen and doesn’t eat things that make ’mooooooo’ or ’eeeeeick’ according to his religion.
