"Your timing was dead on."

"Your timing was dead on."

Clint Reid is a master of soul.

Jeffrey Smith August 25, 2015

I’ve been keeping tabs on incredible artists for several years now. But few others have held my attention as consistently and as intimately as Clint Reid. There is a kind of kinship that the bearded brother has forged with me through his tightly controlled artwork that makes him feel more like a personal friend than a man I’ve never, but hope to someday, meet. He’s proven time and time again his mastery of design and illustration, while combining techniques you don’t typically see together. Clean lines, stippling, watercolor, and the occasional screen print on paper, wood or cloth are all tools in his arsenal of awesome. But in addition to this weaponry the intimate assault continues with the titles he gives to each piece, providing an insight to the human psyche with all its subtle joys and haunting frailties. When all is over, Clint Reid is a master at portraying the human soul.

I urge you all to check out his work on the following sites. Your soul will be so glad you did.

JEFF'S BLOG

Just a big ole mess of words that's updated infrequently.

Ideas and Learning

Sometimes I can't get an idea out of my head. Often they're stories or things i've learned studying and working. But more often than not, it's probably just me spittin' prose into pixels.

Small Monsterz

As a writer for the curating website and online magazine Small Monsterz, I look for artists I admire and write a short feature on them. Just as I think it is important for us to study history and learn from the past, I think it's equally important for us to study those making history right now.
