“The artwork comes directly from my sea/surf related cartoon kind of style. I love drawing waves. I’ve been surfing and traveling for waves for more than 30 years and drawing a wave by just few lines has become one of my classics.

The inspiration for the surfer is directly taken from one of the most famous pictures of Gerry Lopez at Pipe. I’ve tried to recreate the fearless and at the same time casual stance that Gerry has. I love it. I'd love to have even half of it when surfing.

You’ll notice fish also, another subject I like to draw, gettin' lost in the scales circles and funny lines that define flippers and other curvy elements.

My real work is to find the way to escape from work and go to some sunny island with good waves, good friends and my family as much as I can.”
