I was invited to customise a rather lovely skull for this month's Glug Brighton. Some of the south's top talent was on show doing their thang with Ollie Munden, Will Scobie, and Rosie Irvine to name a few. My design is quite complex, so rather than rushing it I'll be going along to the Pottery Cafe later this week to finish it off. Then next week the skulls will be auctioned off for charity. I'll make sure I post further pictures of when the line work has been done, and after it's been fired in the kiln.

Carlos grew up in a typical new town in the south of England. Uninspired by his surroundings he turned to creating his own reality. Infusing his tremendous knack for drawing with many influences such as graffiti, Spanish comics, toys, 80's cartoons, and early video games. His highly original way of working is referred to as 'Pop Surreal'.
