William Smith

January 13th, 2010 admin

After graduating from Clemson University, William Smith started his career in advertising, eventually working with clients like Coke, Novartis, Wal-Mart and Procter & Gamble. In 2008 he shifted into a new career as a concept artist in the gaming industry, and is now working with TimeGate Studios. His online portfolio is divided into three sections, through which you scroll horizontally. I don’t know anything about the individual projects for which they were created, but there are a variety of environments and scenes, most with a science fiction flavor. Smith often contrasts bright, high chroma colors with more muted passages, and sometimes with passages of complimentary colors

This painter was not working in the time of the Barbizon School and the Impressionists, however, but in the blossoming days of the...

Recently I revisited The Visual Craft of William Golden , a book published in the early-Sixties about the legendary CBS creative director . There is an essay in the book by CBS exec John Cowden that sheds light on Golden’s artistic integrity, and helps to explain why the advertising work created under his guidance remains to this day the...

Make room for another solid addition to the animation blogosphere: Scribble Junkies is a blog by well-known New York indies Bill Plympton and Pat Smith (who is currently living in Singapore). I know them both well, and I enjoy hearing their perspectives on the art form, even if I don’t necessarily always agree with them. If it’s not...
