Stuart Smythe
What did you know of Jack O’Neill & his iconic look before submitting your work?
How did you find him to draw?I knew he had a patch over his eye from testing leggies with his son, and might be called the cheese from time to time, and of course he invented the wet suit. I didn’t know too much about how he looked so i googled a few images and did some research.
What mediums do you work with?
I work with graphite mostly, but when i paint its acrylic all the way.
What do you call your style of art?
Just my style really, I try and bring out the humanist, interesting, entertaining, ironic or linguistic in a subject. See my bio here http://thedrawingarm.com.au/artists/stu-smythe/
Are you classically trained?
Na no training, self taught if anything, i just draw sometimes.
Where would you like to see your piece eventually hanging?
Would be cool to see it in a surf museum, or in jack shop….
