Meditate on the brush for ten years, become the brush, then paint yourself

About Me

I am a professional artist currently working for VF Imagewear (Vanity Fair) as a Senior Graphics Illustrator for the Harley-Davidson Creative Team in the Tampa Bay, Florida area. I am also a portrait artist, 3-D sculptor and painter. My work has been showcased in the Society of Illustrators Best of Show, Step-by-Step, CMYK and local on-site showings at Ringling College of Art and Design. I am well versed in many mediums and enjoy "plein Air" painting as well as working in my studio. Please visit my web site www.steevostudio.com to view my work. Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, networking or just to chat."Having carefully fashioned his Owl suit, the clever little mouse tried it on for size, knowing for sure he would fool that mean ol' bird." 3-D Sculpture of a children's story created by me, about a mouse who must try and escape the wild antics of everyday life, especially escaping the clutches of the all watching owl. One answer is to dress like the owl himself to escape detection.
