HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORK?
My work consist in puting an idea under a very simple shape. I go strait to the point, and try to share something funny or sad to everyone. I love typography and drawings, particulary when they are done by someone who doesn’t know how to draw.

PLEASE SHARE WITH US YOUR WORKING PROCESS
i draw a lot on paper before starting a work and i write many words down, trying to get as much as directions possible. When i am ready, i start the job with a few guiding lines in my head but improvisation takes a big part in the process.
