Synopsis
Finsta is one of the most eye-catching illustrators and designers of the European graffiti scene, whose work has, over the past few years, spread far beyond his native Sweden. His paintings, comic strips, street art, graffiti styles and commercial work all share the same, unique style. Influenced by comic artists such as Robert Crumb or Jim Phillips, Finsta's work is always full of the unexpected and humour - a humour he likes to share.
