Incredible work from Zak Smith, Pictures of Girls contains prints of some of his best. A couple of my notable favorites are missing from this collection and a handful of included pieces don't strike a chord with me, but this is a great overall view. I'll be truthful: I don't know jack shit about art. But I know what I like, and what I like most about Smith's work is the gritty feel inherent in each painting and sketch. The colors, the outlines, the vibrancy, and the honesty is attractive, and I find his art inspiring (hence why I've got a couple print-outs pinned to the wall above my writing desk). Not for everyone, not particularly grandma-friendly, and to be avoided by the faint of heart, I still highly recommend this collection and, as another reviewer suggested, check out his website.
