Andy Smith





Andy Smith is based in Hastings. Whilst he comes into college to use the printmaking facilities to make screenprints and books which he sells on his website he generally uses photoshop to fulfill illustration commissions. They have a strong printed quality which is conveyed through a broken printed texture and dramatic compositions. He's particularly good at taking small scale, almost doodles and then enlarging these; he does this in a way which maintains their freshness and life. He's in big demand for his lettering.

You've probably seen his work around. He frequently works for the Guardian.
