Original Art and Illustration by Matthew D. Smith

Blog

Not everything here is 'portfolio quality'. It isn't intended to be. Art, to me, is much like Yoga: everything is a practice. I practice art everyday, and sometimes I post it here. Some things turn out looking alright, while some are complete garbage. I think it's important for you, the viewer, to see that I'm always working to get better. Most artists would like to have you believe that they only make good work from what they put online, which is untrue. I have finished work, and I have this, a practice. 

Thing #35/365

Well, I'm back. It's been a long week or so between work and this pesky ear infection. Not to worry, I'm putting a ton of work up today. 

As for this, I've been trying to work at making medical illustrations. This is, quite frankly, super ugly. It's a start. A gross, ugly start.
