About Stephen
Hello everybody, my name is Stephen and I love to draw. I’ve been drawing since I was a kid, copying pictures from comic books, studying from the old master, painters. I would make little animation, flip books with sticky notes. Nowadays, I’m a digital artist, I’ve worked on games for companies like Konami and Bally Gaming. I like creating everything from background art to character, design or props for games you name it. If you wanna draw, let’s draw together see you in class.
Peace!

What I loved most about Stephen’s teaching methods is how personalized and encouraging!
He has a great ability to break down complex digital art techniques into simple and easy to understand steps which makes learning feel approachable rather than overwhelming.
He’s a super patient person I’ve ever met:) and takes the time to ensure each concept really clicks before moving forward which builds a strong foundation and a lot of confidence.
One experience that really stood out to me was when I was working on a project from start to finish, Stephen guided me with giving me the creative freedom to develop my own style.
His feedback was always thoughtful and constructive and I could see clear improvement in my work after each session.
Overall, learning from Stephen has been both inspiring and motivating. He creates a supportive environment where I felt comfortable experimenting and growing.
That made a huge difference in my journey as an artist!I've known Stephen for over 20 years and all I can say is he is an exceptional artist with a lot of experience in art in generral. Very knowledgeable and can be a tremendous inspiration to any student. We've worked together in the past and I've learned so much from him. His creativity and body of work is top notch. I'm honored to call him a friend.
