Drake Smith

Visual Art – Los Angeles

- Based out of Boston, MA - I have always been fascinated with the way the world works. It\'s all connected if you look at it from a certain perspective. From poetry to Cosmology it\'s all just a different reflection of the same image. My goal is to take my interpretations of the way the world works, mix it up and put it down in paint on canvas. I started painting late in life, in fact August 2012 marks my second year of painting. I went from never having picked up a paint brush to painting every day literally overnight August 2010. It was like a switch turned on and suddenly I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I want to share my visions with the world. The good bad and ugly... the weird, the grotesque the darkly beautiful. The ordinary does not interest me. I surround myself with the artistic, exotic, intelligent, mysterious, spiritual, esoteric, questioning, rabble rousing, never satisfied with the status quo people in the world whenever I can. Normalcy, complacency, apathy, work your life away in a cubicle until you are almost dead then retire and enjoy life when you are too old to really experience it? No thank you. Hi, I\'m Drake. Nice to meet you!
