Lane Smith describes his artwork as a mixture between his fine arts background and low-brow influences like Monty Python and Mad magazine. He has tried making sweet and cute children's books, but they always take a turn toward the edgy and, as he says, they end up being "screwy." Smith has collaborated with author Jon Scieszka on many favorites, including Math Curse, Science Verse, and The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs.
