Guy Richards Smit (1970, New York City) has many talents. Born as the son of two professors, he fits seamlessly into the intellectual environment of New York: he makes music, is a performance artist, paints and draws.

He has exhibited as an artist in the world's major museums, such as the MoMA and Center Pompidou. Still, he is best known for his work for the magazine The New Yorker, which regularly publishes cartoons of him in their weekly magazine. They are so-called Gag cartoons, drawings in a single image with a single sentence underneath. Many of these images have found their way into his paintings.

Smit's work digs into themes like narcissism, desire, power, and failure. He’s fascinated by pop culture, rock operas, comic books, and pop music, and weaves that into his art along with sharp political observations and dark humor. His cartoons, paintings, and performances are a mix of insightful commentary and humor, touching on everything from death to sitcoms.
