J. Marshall Smith

     Hello! I'm an illustrator from Baltimore currently in St. Louis where I'm doing a Masters of Illustration and Visual Culture at Washington University. I'm sometimes a teacher, sometimes a writer, sometimes a comic artist and sometimes an editorial illustrator and portrait artist. I wear a lot of hats. Grad school keeps me really busy, and that's my primary focus right now but here are some of my ongoing personal projects:

• DIARY COMICS: I semi-regularly make autobiographical comics based, after a little alchemy, on my prayer journal. 
• POSTCARD CLUB: The Postcard Club Project is a fun experiment in risk and connection. Patrons at the $10 or higher (Maybe consider throwing an extra couple dollars on for tip/postage?) tiers get an original piece of art drawn on a postcard and sent, unprotected, through the mail to them. I love getting mail, and I love small humble drawings, and this has proven a fun way of sharing that joy with people all over the world. 
• STORYTELLING GAME: On and off I am designing and writing a tabletop rpg, and hope to someday soon actually publish it. 

     I post weekly art updates that include the stuff you might see on my instagram feed along with behind the scenes and exclusive work, as well as a monthly sketchbook post for behind the scenes supporters. Soon, I hope to start doing process videos as well.

Your patronage helps me to continue with my work and it means to world to me.
