Can you tell Carl E. Smith was born and raised in Laguna Beach, CA? I felt a slight "west coast" vibe upon viewing his art/fashion mix, something about the aura of his work hinted such with a light, free flowing movements. I first noticed him on Trendland.com in which they expressed; "his original fine
art works, realized primarily as collages, convey the beauty, excitement, ruin
and rebirth of iconic elements from our
everyday lives. Using symbol, color and space, he creates explosive images that
live between archetypal fantasy and truth. Showcased below are several images
from his most recent show, Intra Fashion."
He lives and works between Laguna Beach and Prague and launched his own design and fine arts project in 2010; CES Design and CES Contemporary.
I have made Kate Moss my subject matter many times even using this same W Magazine cover below. (That's a popular one for us artists.) See a few of my favorites...LOOK CLOSE at the details!
Growing up in Western New York, very close to the Falls makes me love this last image. Of course, you'd never find anyone that stylish unless they came from Toronto. Sorry my people in WNY, you've all wanted to call the fashion police too! Sweatpants aren't fashion.
