Greetings, Earthlings! I get so caught up with producing new work that I forget to come here and tell you about it. First up: KINGS OF ATLANTIS is now available on YouTube Red! That’s the first episode, which is available for free. To see the rest, including the ones I storyboarded, you’ll have to sign up for a membership with YouTube Red, which comes with a 30-day free trial. It’s…
Hey, everybody! As you may already know, I’ve been spending a lot of time working on animated projects lately. Given the nature of the business, there tends to be a long stretch of time between doing the work and being able to talk about it. Well, I’m pleased to tell you that one of these projects has been officially announced and is coming soon to YouTube Red. The show’s called…
Hello again. It’s been a busy year so far and it keeps getting busier. Here’s a quick rundown of the latest additions to justinsmithart.com. These were done in something of a hurry for a recent exhibition called Bonac Tonic Rises, a reunion/farewell show for my cohorts in the Bonac Tonic Art Collective.

Over time, I’ve become less satisfied, which is why…

The first project they asked me to work on was a card-based tabletop RPG called “Tunnels & Traps.” I’ve got most of the cards and packaging drawn and laid out. Unfortunately, MLS has run into some financial troubles, which means…
Hey, everybody! A while back, I Instagrammed some color sketches I did while drawing with the Doodle Crew during our Saturday night meetups at Dominican Joe here in Austin. One was called “Flightless, My Ass!” and the other, based upon a character created by Tim Jennings for the Fantasy Fiction podcast (now known as Tales From The Tavern), was Ice Bitch. Just before Halloween, I got a message from…
Three galleries are up, DIGITAL, TRADITIONAL, and STORYBOARDS in a much easier format that before. There will soon be a “services” page with prices for commissioned work and a links page. Stay tuned. Stay real. Stay monstrous.
I’m tossing out the old format completely and starting fresh with a WordPress site. Check back soon for the new galleries with new sections and some new work.
