Matthew Smith by Lost At E Minor
Vivid technicolor dreamscapes emerge from Brooklyn-based illustrator Matthew Smith's clever imagination. Always expect the unexpected in his bright, unique and colorful world, which he builds with detailed line work and bold powerful marker strokes. Yes, we said marker strokes, which is his medium of choice. This allows him to finish his lush pieces with whimsical speed and passion, leaving behind him a stack of imaginative work. His fresh approach and voice are both inspiring and well-appreciated in a world where everyone is trying to be like everyone else.
