After the success obtained with "Jumping Brain", a combination of brain and jumping frog, Emilio García presented "Skull Brain" in "CONTEXT Art Miami 2012" and its large-scale version in "Pulse Miami 2013", being awarded as best Catalan artist of the year by the Lluís Coromina Foundation. In Skull Brain he places brain material over the shape of a skull for an explosive and intriguing result. It was at this time when Garcia began to get involved in all kinds of neuro-urban merchandising, creating Art Toys or skateboards, among other objects designed for everyday use.
