“I draw my idea sketches and roughs with pencil and pen. Pencil and paper. Everything starts from these tools.”
“I force myself out of my comfort zone regularly. I’m always experimenting with new processes and techniques.”
“I’m not really looking for a decisive moment, but beauty in the everyday.”
“Do it or else! Work requires a lot of patience, that’s why it is better to love what you do. “
“I like to stay focused and work on crafting Paul Anthony Smith. My work is a product of who I am and how I’ve come to see the world. I like to set the mood. I like to have my marking utensils and books in close proximity to where I’m working so I can grab what I need at the moment of flux.”
“My approach to my work is very personal in the sense that I try to solve my own problems. It’s probably the easiest way to create – if there’s something I want, or if there is something that exists that I am unhappy with, I design a solution. I already have one customer (myself) and a design teacher once told me if you can sell to one person, you can sell to 100.”
