Description
In a Humorous Key
Book Summary
This volume compiles a carefully curated selection of satirical and humorous drawings created by Isabelo Garrido Picazo throughout his career. The reader will find two distinct styles that mark the author's evolution: his early works signed as Con-D and his later ones, under the pseudonym Gami, which ultimately consolidated his personal trademark. A work that invites readers to discover the wit and artistic evolution of an illustrator who turns social criticism and humor into firm strokes.
