The Mexican street artist and illustrator known simply as Smithe has a definite style about his work. His art is intensely detailed and often surreal. Smithe frequently blends biological and mechanical imagery reminiscent of cyber-punk book cover illustration. His dramatic and action filled style is also reminiscent of rock posters, which also accounts for a large portion of his professional illustrating. Much like his wall murals, Smithe’s work on paper also displays a strong sense of space. Bodies bend and contort as if strange three dimensional puzzles.
