Mark Smith is an editorial Illustrator. His work interests me as I see it as very impressive, he is obviously a very skilled illustrator and he puts this to use expressing his views.
His work is very visually soothing in my opinion and I think having work in a magazine that isn't to intrusive on the eyes is very important as I that editorial illustration is supposed to add to an article or opinion not overshadow it.
In Smith's work he often uses the text that he is given, e.g the title of the newspaper or magazine, to his advantage. Often drawing over it or using it in the illustration. I really like this little detail in his work and I think makes his work less flat and adds some character to the images.
