MORE TOMATO KETCHUP AND MUSTARD GAS
(MY VERY BEST FRIENDLY FIRE)

I make art out of everyday life, including special offers and car bombs, exotic cocktails and Molotov cocktails, cleaning the house and ethnic cleansing, fast food and Blitzkrieg.

I am interested in everyday conflicts, such as Big Mac vs. Döner Kebab, Human Rights vs. Our Economy, Your Economy vs. Our Economy, Real Madrid vs. Real World, David Beckham vs. Iberian Cured Ham, Ham vs. Hambre, Patria vs. Enemy, Patria vs. Patria.

I find my materials in newspapers (demonstration banners demanding more freedom), flyers put under windscreen wipers (earn money without a job), advertisements in newspapers (blow job without a condom), and breakfast cereal boxes (chocolate super hero eats his children).

I do drawings, but cannot draw. I do paintings, but cannot paint. I do other things, too, but cannot do that either. It is a tragedy, but tragedies are appreciated in Arts.

I am happy because I like my job, says a prostitute's note in a telephone booth. I am happy, too.
