Pal






Pal is a graffiti artist, illustrator, printmaker and graphic designer from Riga in Latvia, He started of his illustration career creating characters the faces he saw around the streets of Riga and from animals, he would would generally in ink or pencil drawing a whole group of characters on a page and linking them up using curves and waves of dark colour. This early style had a really fluidity about it with characters seemingly effortlessly joining up and is still evident in his more polished more professional works. Pal uses thick black line in a lot of work and always with this very fluid feel to it. More recently pal has produced some prints, that maybe digital or maybe screen printed and some applied arts onto t-hshirts or bags but these i don't think are as nice as the early stuff produced. The style loses something when it no longer looks hand drawn for me, but i don still like Pal's later projects.
