Soma Gallery, Bristol presents new work by Andy Smith in its new gallery premises.

Accompanying these prints will be an eclectic collection of new 3D arrows and moose heads, totes, stickers,pointy creatures and one sad lonely, goldfish.


Hastings based illustrator Andy Smith studied at Brighton University and the Royal College of Art. When not working for clients such as Orange, Nike, McDonalds, The Guardian and Faber and Faber he can be found in his studio by the sea in Hastings printing books and posters which he has exhibited in the UK, France, USA and Australia. Specialising in silkscreen printing Andy’s work combines illustration and typography to create images with humour, energy and optimism, executed with a handmade tactile feel. Illustrating for 13 years, his work has won D&AD, Creative Circle and AOI awards and been featured in numerous books and publications.



A few teaser pics can be seen on Andy's flickr page but all the work will be online and available to purchase on the Soma website from Saturday 25th June if you can't make the private view on the 24th.
