Mexico City, 1961 — Mexico City, 2011. He studied at La Esmeralda between 1980 and 1985; his teacher took him to sketch at the Salón Colonia, and from there came his lifelong subject: Latin music and the dance halls, the tango, the cumbia, the danzón, the musicians and the dancers.

He illustrated record sleeves — among them for the Pentagrama label — and the magazine Algarabía, and exhibited in cafés and bars of the Condesa, the historic centre and Coyoacán, as well as in Veracruz; his show «Del café y otras nostalgias» dates from 2006. He died at forty-nine after a fall; two months later his friends organised a tribute auction.
