WORK SHOWCASE: Nathan Smith

This week, the Directory of Illustration highlights work from Nathan Smith, represented by António Adrião Artist Representative (AAARep).

Illustrator: Nathan Smith

Client: Sleepy Beaucat

Agent: AAA Rep

ABOUT THE WORK: Nathan was commissioned to design the cover for the new self-titled debut EP  by the British Alt/Rock band ‘Sleepy Beaucat.’ The 4 track EP was produced by legendary producer/engineer Tony Platt who is best known for his work with AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and Bob Marley amongst many others. The image is based on a real media acrylic on canvas painting painted by Nathan in 2006. The band liked the image so much that they asked Nathan to recreate it digitally, keeping as much of the original as possible whilst conveying the quirkiness of their music and creating an image that would work well small scale on all streaming platforms.
