Paul Palnik
Paul Palnik (March 28, 1946 – August 13, 2021)was an American artist, writer and educator. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and resided in Columbus, Ohio. Palnik included kabbalistic spiritual themes in his cartoons from the 1970s onward. His cartoons combined graphic design, drawing, poetry, and literature. The images were pen and ink drawings, often rendered in minute detail. The cartoons were like one-page books, dispensing wit, wisdom, and spiritual advice. Palnik's cartoons have been described as being balanced between universal, spiritual, prophetic themes, and the absurd. Many of Palnik's original drawings are in the collection of the Ohio State University libraries in Columbus, Ohio.
