Smith came of age in the McCarthy era in Oklahoma. He escaped to Florence, Italy as a teenager, where he finished high school, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, traveled the country as a roadie, and lived in Rome to pursue his art and work in films.
He landed in San Francisco in 1976, where his prankster nature, love of music and graphic arts brought him to the attention of local Punk venues and musicians who were staking a claim in the Bay Area. Smith began to collaborate with bands and artists, eventually working with Jello Biafra to create some of his most infamous images, the Dead Kennedys logo and the culture-shock LP cover for “In God We Trust, Inc.”
