The Eccentric Art of Lewis Smith:
Diners on Cracker Boxes, Page 2

Here are some of the diners Lewis Smith drew on Cracker Boxes. Crackers were a big part of his diet, and he then recycled the boxes into art. They are all about 10" by 17" (with slight variation). There is writing on the reverse side on some. If you browse through them, you might want to pay attention to some of the details and writings on these drawings. Some are signed and/or dated, many have puns, humor, and social observation.

Next are five, 2-panel diner sketches. These are each drawn in ballpoint pen on two separate sheets of sketch paper, and measure 9" high by 24" wide. They are very detailed, with humor and social observation. Please note that all the pieces are rectangular. They may look skewed because of camera angles. The color and darkness of the drawing is stronger than shown. The closest, but still not as strong, are in the biggest close-ups. The thumbnail picture below is a detail view showing only a portion of one drawing.
