Been looking again at Mariscal’s work today. I was very lucky to meet him in his studio in Barcelona, many moons ago. His studio was only found by following Mariscal’s graffiti, which led to many thin stray dogs, a dusty mud track and finally to a concealed hi-tech warehouse, which seemed more like a James Bond set than a studio. Previously famed as a comic strip artist, his talent extends to type, furniture, architecture and print. However, when I met him he was more interested in showing his privately funded pop video, featuring him 'singing’ beside some very glamorous models. When talking about his work for the Barcelona Olympics - he said he designed the mascot Cobi to look naked with a hairy chest. And he got away with it. Absolute legend.
