I’m Swann Smith, an illustrator and graphic designer working mainly with publications, design firms, and ad agencies.
As an illustrator, I enjoy depicting people and animals in a realistic style. My method combines classically hand-rendered drawings with modern digital colorization. The advantage to this method is that I can quickly customize the color scheme to fit an individual project.
Aside from illustration, I have over 22 years of experience in print design and have recently dabbled in web design (this site being an example). I can help companies establish a brand identity and market themselves both in print and on the web.
Where I’ve Been
Born and raised in colorful Colorado, I went on to graduate from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York with a degree in Communication Design. I have been a creative solopreneur since 2002.
For inspiration (and fun), I often wander through the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park and Bronx Zoos, and New York Aquarium.
My Creative Philosophy
Simple: produce quality work, that communicates a clear personality or concept, and deliver it on time.
