What is your dream project: a collaboration with Marvel or DC Comics, or even create your own set of characters?
I would love to make FATMAN comics. FATMAN is my character, he’s a fat guy who wants to be a superhero and fight evil. In my comic, there is a lot of emphasis on what the superhero thinks and why he fights. In superhero comics, you usually battle a villain who represents the evils of society. But the focus is not usually put on whether or not what the hero believes is the right way. FATMAN is an antihero: ugly, fat, smokes, is conceited, eats a lot of pizza, talks bad… The concept would be to make staples of 20 or 30 pages where they are self-conclusive stories in which, at the end, FATMAN continues at the same point from where he started.
Do you plan to exhibit these works in a gallery?
Maybe… who knows? I’m open to everything and I have no pretensions or desire to triumph. I try to go game-by-game and enjoy the journey. Maybe this year I’ll do a limited edition silkscreen to move it around galleries.
What new projects do you have for 2024?
What I like most is to illustrate music. I would love a collaboration with Joey Bada$$ or Freddie Gibbs. Make vinyls and projects where you can take an artwork to another level — vinyl, stickers, comics, clothing, or a joint project that would take a lot of imaginary behind the scenes work that would go a step further. I really enjoy illustrating things that relate to each other. But just improving my drawing style, release some posters and enjoy whatever comes my way.
