Kent Smith

Adult Visual Arts


Kent Smith (Smitty) is a dimension-jumping illustrator, designer, sculptor, teacher, problem-maker, problem-solver, and magic-man sharing grand visions from afar. His work can be found on Star Wars toys, Free State beer labels, custom masks, huge woodblocks prints, giant festival sculptures and tiny trading cards. Smitty uses his crazy brain-powers and a menagerie of media to solve problems and deliver creative, unexpected, solutions that are rich in play and story. Kent also celebrates teaching in the Design Department at the University of Kansas, as well as working with the Lawrence Arts Center, VanGo, Percolator and other fine organizations.

Smitty loves super-heroes, ninjas, monkeys, UFOs, cryptids, robots, ray-guns, and romance. He is always up for creative adventures and hopes you will come visit Smittytown whenever you need a fantastic escape, ridiculous adventure, and fun solutions for your creative needs.
