Week 14

Zak Smith is hands down one of my favorite artists. He graduated from Cooper Union with a BFA and then went on to get his Masters degree at Yale. A lot of Zak's influence comes from the Suicide Girls, from them he has created the series, Girls in the Naked Business and 100 Girls and 100 Octopuses. He has also illustrated each page of Thomas Pynchon's novel Gravity's Rainbow which was featured in the 2004 Whitney Biennial. Zak also performs in porn under the name Zak Sabbath.
