Who is the man behind these works? Gabi Campanario, news artist for the Seattle Times, which explains why South Lake Union appears in many of his pieces. Gabi also finds time to update his blog, El blog de Gabi Campanario - living and drawing in the Pacific Northwest, with sketches from the day gone by.
I'm a Spanish graphic artist and illustrator transplanted to the U.S. I've been in the news business since getting a journalism degree in 1992 (University of Navarra, Pamplona), working at newspapers in Spain, Portugal and the U.S. before settling in the Pacific Northwest with my family. This blog is for everything I draw, in my spare time and at my news artist job for The Seattle Times.
For more of his work, check out the South Lake Union photo pool, or the entire Seattle sketchbook on Flickr, or the aforementioned blog.
