Coté Escrivá, a Spanish artist, creates playful character designs inspired by nostalgic childhood themes, with notable collaborations with Thunder Mates on limited-edition resin toys.

His standout collection includes dark twists on classic Disney icons like Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse, reimagined as spooky characters with eerie eyes, tattered clothes, and exposed skeletons, drawing influences from American pop culture, urban art, and beloved cartoons.
