Paul Shanta AKA "Shanta" is a New Zealand born Stencil Artist & Graphic Designer now living in Sydney, Australia. Bent on contributing to the bizarre and fantastic culture here on earth, Shanta creates a unique style that incorporates influences from nature, unlocking imaginary realms and invoking creative muses to guide his work.

“I do what I do not because I have to, but for the love of it - it's my passion”. Shanta is a hard-working silly-bugger whose stencils and digital illustrations have been widely used - from the full branding of restaurants and bars, to posters, apparel design and numerous forms of illustrative branding.

I firmly believe in having set style tones yet a sense of diversity, making any project unique. So get in touch and let’s make awesome art together!
