Robbie Conal Artist Profile
I consider Robbie Conal one of the most important street poster artists and one of my biggest inspirations conceptually. I saw his CONTRA DICTION poster on the streets of LA when I was visiting in 1987. We collaborated on an ant-Bush campaign in 2004. Check out this video of Robbie.
