The Walking Creative
ARTIST BIO
The Walking Creative (James Smith) is an artist based in Adelaide, South Australia. He is a self-taught artist who is well known in the Adelaide community for his vibrant colour palette where his work stems from moments, conversation, thoughts and feelings in an expressive, spontaneous style and yet sometimes a simple bold piece of imagery that fits the empty space of the urban jungle. He has exhibited works in galleries and shows both locally, interstate and overseas. He has also worked and collaborated with local businesses across Adelaide painting murals, designed logos, produced streetwear and custom wear as well as a limited edition clothing line for a sustainable clothing store in the CBD.
