Historia
Travis Smith föddes 26 februari 1970, strax utanför San Diego, Kalifornien. Han hade ingen formell konstskoleutbildning, bortsett från en kort period i high school. Han började sin karriär med att designa omslag åt sin väns progressiv metal-band Psychotic Waltz. Kontakterna han fick genom gruppen ledde till att han kunde börja jobba heltid med konst. 2005 hade han arbetat med nära hundra band. Han bor fortfarande strax utanför San Diego, där han föddes.[3] Smiths konst är huvudsakligen skivomslag för olika metalband. Smith är känd för en mörk och inåtvänd stil, huvudsakligen baserad på fotografier i komposition med blandade andra typer av media.[4]
