Christopher Alan Smith, the illustrator and owner of Smith Map Studio, was one of the 250 artists selected by the jury panel for Cottonwood Art Festival. The semi-annual show was held the weekend of October 1-2, 2016 in Richardson, TX.
This was also the exact date that Texas Monthly released their monthly issue featuring Smith Map Studio. The two-page interview describes how he has always been a “map geek” and his childhood passion transitioned into a full career in 2008 after he held his first show and made $5,500 in sales.
