These Illustrations Are Borne of a Longtime Surfer Being Landlocked in Milan

Meet “Moustache Guy.”

Living far from the sea is not an easy thing for me. I’m an outdoor person, used to go surfing several times a week, and now it’s a little bit different.

I live in Milan now. I left my country, Venezuela, almost 5 years ago and I have to say it has been a positive decision to move to a European Metropolis in order to develop my knowledge and practice art and design. On the other hand, I really miss going surfing several times a week.

So last November me and some good friends who live in Spain organized this super spontaneous surf trip to Zarauz, Basque Country.

I had such a nice time and remained so stoked after all those days of surfing, that when I went back to Milan, I decided that somehow I had to use my talent to create something nice, understandable, and fun about how I experience surfing, and that’s when The Moustache Guy was born. Hope you enjoy it!
