Illustrator

Costhanzo is a cartoonist from Buenos Aires and a constant search engine of those winks that sows the universe and that we do not perceive at first sight.

A long career as a cartoonist precedes him, 30 years specifically. Humor and satire play a fundamental role in his identity as an illustrator, although he is also inspired by music, literature, politics, sports and art. His illustrations also usually start with an idea or informative key for the user or reader.
