A big kid at heart, Stevie relishes the opportunity to draw for children’s books with a focus on animal characters and adventure stories.
Inspired by his big brother's drawings, Stevie nurtured a passion for illustration that continues to this day. He credits fellow illustrator Anton Petrov as a constant source of inspiration on his artistic journey as he refines his unique style.
Stevie’s efforts to illustrate a “Last Minute Guide to Birth”, was one such project that he describes as “quite informative” – he was a bachelor at the time. Enjoying his solitude sits high on Stevie’s agenda as does lazy book reading on grassy patches. He bought children’s classic “The Wind on the Willows” as a vintage hard cover for the pictures only to be surprisingly taken in by the Kenneth Grahame’s storytelling. The films- ‘Kiseki’ (I Wish), My Neighbour, Totoro and Ernest & Celestine offer sublime consistency to Stevie’s family focused and nurturing character.
