This continues throughout his artistic career by creating several interdisciplinary shows and illustrating posters and brochures for theaters.
His latest project entitled Letters from the Drawing Town, is the continuity of his artistic approach being an interdisciplinary show bringing graphic, illustration, story and the theater all together. A project that will soon be realized by Valise Theater.
