The Potluck is a collection of music that I make that reflect my craving to make music. I have released two so far and I'm prepping for the 3rd.

​

BED TIME RAPS SYNAPSES

​

This ep was initiated by my friend Vee who said I should start a new potluck and call it bed time raps. The actual songs aim to capture the different energies I get around bed time. Each song was recorded at 3am in my room with the exception of features.

Hello, my name is Kolin Smith and I am a artist from Chicago,IL

​

"We Are Good At What We Do"

W.A.G.A.W.D

This is my motto. I abbreviate this motto in a shortened form as, "W.A.G2". Anyone who is apart of my team recognizes this statement as a truth. Together we all strive to achieve greatness.   

​

GOAL

My aim of this website is to inform people of my work, A synopsis of that work, the skills I offer, and to create a environment that inspires people to pursue creative fields. 

​

BIO

I am a self taught artist. My main mediums of creating art is drawing, cinematography, rap music, and dance.  I started drawing at a very young age using only a pencil. I first started digital drawing at 19 and from my very first piece I knew this would produce some of my greatest work.  I also started editing videos young. Using windows movie maker, I would edit anime clips into amvs. Once I had a camera of my own i began to make and edit my own content. The content ranged from a lot of different areas but my most prominent source was dance. I still research and practice both film and dance.

​

SERIES

The way that I work is by drawing something first then sometimes I try to interpret it. My works feel as if they come from the subconscious. It helps me to communicate emotion and feelings I don't often indulge in. However when I am deep in thought on a subject or emotion, I tend to amass a body of similar works of art. A body of work that is similar in concept or idea, I call it a series. So far I have worked on 3 larger, personal, series. They are called MOOD, HUNGER, and THIRSTY. They were created in that order. 

​

MOOD

Social media has had a big influence on me. Many people would post a picture with a one word caption, "mood". I wanted to explore mood more in depth. I started by crafting faces with a variety of emotions then scribbled mood across the eyes. For me this meant a reality check. Who controls our mood, is it us or is it us or is it the mood itself? Regardless, I want people to reflect on their moods when they see my pieces.

​

HUNGRY

Hunger series represents a craving of wanting to satisfy a primal need. A need of wanting something or will to overcome. When one is hungry they go to great lengths to achieve that satisfaction. However sometimes ones hunger is never satisfied. Hunger, similar to Mood, I write hungry over the eyes as a staple of that series. 

​

THIRSTY

Thirst trap?! This derived from the Hunger series. I had started drawing a lot of selfies. I asked myself why do I feel compelled to draw nice selfies. What did I see in these photos? I couldn't come up with a satisfying answer. All of a sudden I thought what if I replaced the phone with myself. After the first test many ideas spurred my brain and I was able to find many interpretations to my original questions. Currently I am still developing this series, but it is signified to belong to the Thirsty series if I have replaced the cellphone with a sort of cartoon version of myself.
