He has regularly collaborated in multiple newspapers and magazines and has, (as a member of the collective Butifarra!) after several monographs, edited the weekly magazine Cul de Sac.

Dolmen Editorial has compiled in three integral volumes the first period of Johnny Roqueta (1982-1987), a character who appears regularly in Diario de Mallorca presenting Como una moto articles dedicated to motorcycles, a theme that the author loves.
