Life and career
Xavi Martin Sancho was born in 1978, and studied Architecture in Barcelona, as well as in Stockholm, Sweden. He later attended the Joso School for Comics and Visual Arts in Barcelona, where he took part in a course in Disney art organized by the Danish publishing house Egmont Creative. By 2016 Martin was selected by Egmont's art director Fernando Guëll to draw comic stories for their Disney production division. The course brought forth a new wave of freelance Spanish Disney artists, which also included Diego Bernardo Álvarez, Cynthia Campanario Pineda, Joan Crexells Aparicio, Sebastián Puñales and Lourdes Rueda Sala. Martin's first 'Donald Duck' story was published in Scandinavia in August 2016, and since then the stories he drew have been distributed to Disney licensees all over Europe, as well as Indonesia and China. He has worked on stories with members of the Duck family, as well as the Beagle Boys.
