Australian graffiti artist Phibs has a distinctive street art style that combines elements of cartoon art and tribal designs. Many of his large street art paintings feature cartoon animals and human figures that are decorated with tribal patterns. These subjects co-exist with ethnic design elements in the overall piece that are rendered in a cartoonish manner. His use of bold outlines and flat areas of contrasting colors adds to both the cartoonish nature as well as the tribal elements\u00a0of his graffiti art. Altogether, he has created a beautiful balance between two vastly different art styles.<\/p>\n
Abstract designs are\u00a0becoming more and more popular in street art, as the finished art work is generally more legible from a distance. Geometric shapes also allow street artist to create larger areas of solid color that catch the eyes of passersby.
