  • I’ve worked with Luis for the last 3 years. He is a great artist with a strong eye … He is passionate about his work, always doing some side projects, learning some new ways of work. He really has easy contact with people and especially as a supervisor with his team.

  • Luis Is the man you want to have on your team for the hair department — period! Great artist, very good spirit, and team player. He is not afraid when hard work arrives. He just rolls up his sleeves with a smile and goes for it. We worked together on Stubby. It was a hard project with a very tight deadline with more than 100 characters.
