Smith GrahamDavid

British artist and writer, currently living in London. His artworks include fabric and wallpaper designs of trees, flowers, birds and animals. He worked in the USA as a book illustrator under the name Paul Cline. Smith created a series of erotic drawings influenced by the medieval Dance of Death, and the resurrection of the genre by the Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada. These reflected his horror at the impact of AIDS on the gay community. In the 1990s, Smith lived on the fringe of the hustler community in Los Angeles. He became friendly with Rick Castro and memorably appeared as Ambrose Sapperstein in his 1996 movie Hustler White. Smiths autobiography was published in 1996. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
