Zak Smith is one of my top favourite artist on this blog. I really like the way how he is combining paintings and Illustration to create colourful, exciting pieces of works. His self portrait painting is cool and quite gothic but more towards punk in my opinion. There is no current theme for his works he is influenced by punk\rock, Japanese woodcuts, Art Nouveau, smut and animation among other things, I noticed that some of his works are very rude and naughty. He used to work in the porn industry and based some of his work on friend from where he used to work.
