Paul Palnik has raised the fine art of the cartoon to transcendent, spiritual heights. Palnik cartoons helped redefine the role and look of American cartoon art. His images are drawn in exquisite detail and can best be understood as one page books composed of equal parts literature and intense graphic art. His subject matter examines the human struggle to understand our place in the universe and our ultimate role in eternity. Palnik can be best described as an artist, sage, spiritual mystic and jester.
