Jonathan Smith



Jonathan Smith is an artist, writer, and sketchbook fiend from Baltimore. In his studio practice, he explores fiction and poetry through alternative comics, zines, and artist’s books that aim to be unprecious, articulate, and resonant. Along with his personal practice, he does client work as an illustrator and cartoonist.

As an educator, his chief goal is to help prepare students for lives enriched through artistic practice. While in studio courses, students can expect to learn about fine and commercial artists both historical and contemporary, and to be encouraged to invest in a diaristic approach to sketchbooks that supports the idea of drawing as a means of encountering the world and oneself. Also, maybe pictures of his dog.
