Sr. García is an illustrator, designer, and observer (but not a voyeur). He has published his work far and wide, including in El País Semanal, Esquire, Diario Sur, S Moda, Líbero, Público, and Ein Magazin Über Ortey Opzij, but he continues to look for ways to showcase his work. He has worked for advertising agencies and publishers such as SM. He is the founder of the Madrid Collage Society, one of his latest adventures with scissors and glue.
