My name is Duane Smith. I’m an illustrator from Albany, NY with a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY and a Master’s in Illustration from F.I.T. (The Fashion Institute of Technology) in New York City. I born and raised
in Albany, New York, my focus has always been art driven.
My profession includes graphic design for print, development for interactive media, basic drafting and a passion for illustration. As an illustrator I have illustrated a number of works for a variety of markets. Beginning with three published children’s books; Mama’s Windowby Lynn Rubright, Night Journey to Vicksburg by Susan Rowan Masters and recently Seven Miles to Freedom: The Robert Smalls Story published
in 2008 by Janet Halfmann along with editorial illustrations, film development illustrations, storyboards and film posters, murals and gallery works. I have also been an art & design instructor for a number of organizations in New York City. Beginning as an instructor in the 2001 Summer Design Program with Pratt Institute I hope to continue to create curriculae to inspire young people to think conceptually
as well as independently through books and program initiatives. *Ready to make more books.
