Miscellaneous media and bizarrely beautiful images are juxtaposed in fashion collages by Carl E Smith. The Laguna Beach-based graphic designer has created a series of highly visual, mixed media chic fashion collages.

Most of Smith's work is based on the creation of contrasting compositions that showcase excitement, life and beauty through this unique juxtaposed format. Through the use of symbols, vivid colors and expressive backdrops, Carl E Smith creates surreal and fantasy-inspired artworks that are both thought-provoking and fashionable. Smith boasts an extensive series of collage-clad canvases, which showcase his intricate and artistic eye for details and compositions.
