Pop-Surreal Digital Illustrations By Daniel Smith, Where Everyday Cats And Objects Become Dreamy Narrative Icons
Daniel Smith is a digital illustrator whose work sits in pop surrealism: expressive characters, dreamy color palettes, and slightly off‑kilter, story-rich scenes often drawn in Procreate. His pieces frequently feature cats and everyday objects twisted into whimsical, symbolic setups, leaning into cute-weird narratives rather than straight realism.
