Seattle Sketcher by Gabi Campanario
Posted: November 5th, 2008 | Author: Paco | Filed under: Grammar Tips | No Comments »
Gabi Campanario is a Spanish artist who draws life around Seattle. I discovered this site in Soitu.es. Gabi shows in his page amazing sketchers and writes some comments in English, but he ads a Spanish translation very useful for us.
Furthermore, Gabi’s style is not too much difficult.
