‘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.

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.

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.

Happy to show you my new mini film, The Potion.

The result of some experiments I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, using animation and mural painting. At the end it turned into this, with the help of Mohammed Chndy. Many thanks to Alsabaihi grocery and Capital D studio. I hope you like it.

I have some artworks touring the streets of Wynwood in a van these days. If you are there, make sure to stop by the Paseo van and check out all the good stuff they have.
