Last couple of weeks I was invited to get part in this really beautiful project, created by the street artist, Mundano, who describes himself as a ARTivist. He created a project called Pimp My Carroça, inspired by MTV’s Pimp My Ride, for which he paints designs with a message on street collectors’ wooden carts to raise funds for them and get more recognition for the incredible recycling work they do.
Thanks to Mel Duarte and her support and to Zé Carlos and his familly who let me paint their cart! It was a special day!

Last month I received an email from Stuart that runs Subism inviting me to get part in a beautiful project called Memories Subism that is an art book and all its profits are going to the Maggie´s carring cancer center. The book will tell 10 short stories about people who had to fight against cancer and I made this illustration for one of those stories. I´m glad to get involved, thanks Stu!
This is probably the smallest graffiti I ever made... In a small room of a abandoned building... My little character "Waiting for Spring"
Barcelona - 2010
