Craig Everett is a self-taught artist whose creative journey began in the world of print design, working with typefaces and logos long before the term “graphic designer” became commonplace. While shaping visual identities by day, he dedicated his spare time to painting, drawing inspiration from the industrial streets and urban landscapes that surrounded him.
Exhibiting in local galleries and releasing prints under the name Rourke Van Dal, Craig became deeply involved in the emerging urban art movement. Through his pioneering online gallery, Vandalart, he played a significant role in the growth of UK urban art. Continually evolving his style, he experimented with stencilling and spray paint, embracing a wide range of materials to create the bold, distinctive works that have earned him a loyal following.
